A bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds,
the speed of the keys just before it reached the ground is 36.2 m/s the height of his room from the ground is 66.4 m
c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d. What is the keys' velocity when it reached its highest point?
dear devil super Dave accidentally drops a wrench from his hot air balloon at an altitude of 100 M how long before it nearly misses an old lady standing on the ground
Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100 m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts by Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them at 5.0 m/s. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what distance has Spot run? (in meters)
