A tennis ball is fired from an air cannon, staright up from ground level, at intial speed vo. At the instant it reaches its peak, a second tennis ball is fired at the same intial speed. At what fraction of the maximum height reached by the first ball do the two collide? Air resistance is negligible.

A cannon is fired over level ground with its barrel at an angle of 45.0o to the horizontal. The shell takes 51 s to hit the ground. Neglect air resistance and the height of the muzzle. How far from the cannon did the shell land? The units are not in the mks system here, but the answer is unambiguous.

Ball 1 and Ball 2 are initially at rest at ground level. At t = 0 Ball 1 is launched vertically upward with an initial speed V0. One second later Ball 2 is launched vertically upward with the same initial speed V0. Neither ball reaches its maximum height until several seconds after the second ball is launched. 1) Ignoring any effects due to air resistance, which of the following statements best describes the distance between the balls after the second...
