You drop a ball from a window located on an upper floor of a building. It strikes the ground with speed v. You now repeat the drop, but your friend down on the ground throws another ball upward at the same speed v, releasing her ball at the same moment that you drop yours from the window. At some location, the balls pass each other. Is this location (a) at the halfway point between window and ground, (b) above this point, or (c) below this point?

Please explain...

You drop your textbook off the roof of a building, where it passes identical windows on the second and first floors of the building. Which window will it pass more quickly, and why? Is the increase in speed of the book as it drops past the second floor window the same, less than, or greater than the increase in the speed of the book as it drops past the first floor window? Why?

Another strange awakening in a room with no windows. This time you drop a ball from a height of 2.29 m and it hits the floor 0.410 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? OK, this is the last time for one of these crazy...

You are letting 540 g of silly putty fall from rest from your dorm room window located 35.0 m above ground level. Your friend in the dorm across the street is observing the situation and throws a 270 g baseball from his window trying to hit your piece of silly putty. His throw is formidable and hits the silly putty right when it is halfway to the ground, and when the baseball is moving horizontally at 15.0 m/s. Baseball and...
