Two rocks are thrown simultaneously from the top of a very tall tower with identical speeds of v = 7.90 m/s, but in two different directions. (See figure.) One of them is thrown with an angle of 10.0 degrees below the horizontal, the other one at an angle of 50.0 degrees above the horizontal. How far will the rocks be from each other after 4.90 s? (Neglect air resistance and assume that the rocks will not hit the ground.)

Two rocks are thrown from the top of a very tall tower. One of them is thrown vertically up with an initial velocity of vup = 15.4 m/s. The other rock is thrown horizontally to the right with an initial velocity of vright = 11.5 m/s. (See figure.) How far will the rocks be from each other after 4.08 s? (Neglect air resistance and assume that the rocks will not hit the ground or the tower.)

Two identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward with the pellet eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun b is fired straight downward. Ignore air resistance. Assume g=10 m/s/s. A. How long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit. B. If the pellet hits the ground with an impact speed of 60 m/s,...

Review Conceptual Example 15 before attempting this problem. Two identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 22.3 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit...
