- You throw a tennis ball straight up. Air resistance can be neglected. (a) The maximum height above your hand that the ball reaches is H. At what speed does the ball leave your hand? (b) What is the speed of the ball when it is a height H/2 above your hand? Express your answer as a fraction of the speed at which it left your hand. (c) At what height above your hand is the speed of the ball half as great as when it left your hand? Express your answer in terms of H.arrow_forwardYou throw a football straight up. Air resistance can be neglected. (a) When the football is 4.00 m above where it left your hand, it is moving upward at 0.500 m>s. What was the speed of the football when it left your hand? (b) How much time elapses from when the football leaves your hand until it is 4.00 m above your hand?arrow_forward1. Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0m/s. If this can be reduced to 1.3m/s or less, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads. (a) If a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what constant acceleration (in m/s²) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed from 2.0 m s to 1.3m/s (b) The acceleration you found in part (a) may seem rather large, but to assess its effects on the hip fully, calculate how long it lasts. Note: convert cm to m first.arrow_forward
- A parachutist after bailing out falls 50 m without friction. When the parachute opens, it decelerates at 2 m/s2. He reaches the ground with a speed of 3 m/s. At what height, did he bailout?

Which of the following equations could correctly describe this scenario? Select all that apply. a) v = (5 m/s) + (9.8 m/s^2) t b) y = 20 m + (-5 m/s) t + 1/2 (-9.8 m/s^2) t^2 c) v^2 = (20 m/s)^2 + 2 (9.8 m/s^2) (y - 20 m) d) 5 m/s = 1/2 (v + vi) e) none of the abovearrow_forward

What is the speed of particle at t=5s? 1- 32m/s 2- 30 m/s 3- 28 m/s 4- 20 m/s 5- 10 m/sarrow_forwardH:16) At the same time object A is dropped from a height H, object B begins sliding down a frictionless 45o ramp of the same vertical height H. Just before they reach the floor, which statement below is true? They have the same speeds, but object B reaches the floor first. Object B has a greater speed, and object B reaches the floor first. Object A has a greater speed, and object A reaches the floor first. They have the same speeds, but object A reaches the floor first.arrow_forwardThe Summit Plummet is an extreme water slide—one of the steepest and fastest in the world. Riders drop 36 m from the start until they hit a run-out at the bottom. If you give yourself a good push at the start, so that you begin your plunge moving at 2.0 m/s, how fast are you moving when you get to the bottom? How fast would you be moving if you skipped the push? The slide is steep and slippery, so assume that you can ignore friction and drag forces.arrow_forward
