Question

Romeo is standing 30 m (horizontally) from Juliet’s balcony, and he throws her a bouquet of

flowers, tossing them with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 53.1° above horizontal. Juliet catches

the flowers, inhales their fragran

ce, and swoons.

(The air, as ever, is unwilling to interfere with

young love, so it offers no resistance to the

motion of the flowers.)

(a) Somewhere along their trajectory between

Romeo and Juliet, the flowers will reach their

maximum height. At that moment, what is their

velocity?

(b) At the moment the flowers reach their

maximum height, what is their acceleration?

(c) What was the acceleration of the flowers when they were at

half

their maximum height,

going up?

(d) Calculate how much time it take

s the flowers to fly from Romeo and Juliet, and how high

(above Romeo’s hand) Juliet’s balcony is.
