You throw a stone straight up with speed 9.8 m/s. Exactly 0.80 s later you throw a second stone straight up with the same initial speed. Ignore the possible influence of air resistance. (a) When do the stones collide? (b) How high above their common starting point are the stones when they collide?

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 17.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 26.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. A student stands on the edge of a cliff with his hand a height h above a flat stretch of ground below the clifftop. The +x-axis extends to the right along the ground and the +y-axis extends up...

One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then, while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 28.5 m/s. The first one is thrown at an angle of 63.0° with respect to the horizontal. (a) At what angle should the...

Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a beach, and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use, however, is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher, and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is 76.0 mph. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball (with no way to measure the ball\'s initial trajectory), and watches...

A shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 11.8 m/s, 52.8° above the horizontal. The shot hits the ground 2.10 s later. You can ignore air resistance. (Assume the horizontal direction of the shot and upward are positive.) (a) What are the components of the shot's acceleration while in flight? m/s2 (horizontal component) m/s2 (vertical component) (b) What are the components of the shot's velocity at the beginning of its trajectory? m/s...

Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s at an angle of 40°, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims a distance L under water at a speed of 3.54 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver. Determine the average speed of the...

1. Physics and astronomy student club has a recently established tradition of pumpkin drop, from the top of Wick Science Building to the "moat" below street level. Although the "experimental data" have not been made public, there have been rumors of the drop took 2.07 seconds, i.e. falling from rest with negligible air drag. Based on the rumor, how tall is the building from the "moat" to the roof? Ignore air drag or any rotation of pumpkins. Hint: You may...
