Fran is standing near the front of a car in a train and Brad is standing near the back of the same car.  Fran and Brad have a catch with a ball and, as measured with respect to someone riding in the train, each is throwing the ball so that it leaves their hands at a speed of 20 m/s. Each takes 1/4 second to throw the ball. Assume that the force that each of them exerts on the ball is uniform throughout the 1/4 second of the throw, and that the ball has a mass of 0.15kg. Take the direction to the front of the train as positive. Finally, assume that all the motion is in the horizontal direction only; ignore any vertical velocity component and the acceleration due to gravity.

What is the velocity of the ball in m/s when it leaves Fran’s hand (include a + or - sign for the direction as appropriate)?

What is the velocity of the ball in m/s when it leaves Brad’s hand (include a + or - sign as appropriate)?

What is the acceleration of the ball in m/s2 while Fran is in the act of throwing it but has not yet released it (include a - sign if appropriate)?

What is the acceleration of the ball in m/s2 while Brad is in the act of throwing it but has not yet released it (include a - sign if appropriate)?

You find yourself standing in front of a run-away train armed with an unlimited number of baseballs. The only way to stop the train is to throw the baseballs at the train, and have the train conductor catch them (i.e., it is an perfectly inelastic collision). Assume the train is moving at 45 kph (10 m/s), and that you can throw a baseball at 110 mph (50 m/s). The train has a mass of 100000 kg. Take the mass of...

(b) What is the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground? 2. An object is fired straight up at a speed of 12m/s. Calculate (a) its maximum...

An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the way down and passes a point a distance 41.0 m below its starting point at a time 5.00 s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored. 1.What is the initial speed of the egg?   m/s   2.How high does it rise above its starting point?   m    3.What is the magnitude of its...
