A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
A person on the top of a roof of a building (100 m) drops a ball. After 2s passed, a person who stands at the base of the same building throws a separate ball in the upward direction with a speed of 20 m/s. Assumes the two balls are traveling on the same vertical path. Will the two balls collide with each other? If so, what are their velocities as they collide with each other?
A man who is on top of a roof of a high building drops a piece of metallic material. A second piece of metallic material is dropped 3.0 seconds later. How far apart (km) are the materials when the second material has reached a speed of 15.0 m/s
Moving sidewalks are installed every other 50 meters along the entire stretch of an airport walkway. These sidewalks move at a constant speed of 1 m/s. A lady passenger takes one of the sidewalks to go from one point to the next. If the passenger decides to go back using the same sidewalk at 1 m/s, how long will it take to reach her point of origin?
Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 60 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the (crazy) bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth.What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?
A log is floating on swiftly moving water. A stone is dropped from rest from a 75-m high bridge and lands on the log as it passes under the bridge. (a) What is the velocity of the stone when it lands on the log? (b) How long does it take the stone to reach the log? (c) If the log moves with a constant speed of 5.0 m/s, what is the horizontal distance between the log and the bridge when the stone is dropped? with explanation every solution

Sam is standing on a balcony while holding two objects. She reaches over the railing and drops object A from a height of 20.0 m above the ground. 0.3 seconds later, she throws object B directly upward with a speed of 4.00 m/s. One second after she dropped object A, the velocities of the objects are measured. At that time, find: a) Object A’s velocity relative to the Earth b) Object B’s velocity relative to the Earth c) Object B’s velocity relative to Object A d) Object A’s velocity relative to Object B
A log is floating on swiftly moving water. A stone is dropped from rest from a 75-m high bridge and lands on the log as it passes under the bridge. (a) What is the velocity of the stone when it lands on the log? (b) How long does it take the stone to reach the log? (c) If the log moves with a constant speed of 5.0 m/s, what is the horizontal distance between the log and the bridge when the stone is dropped?
In an ordinary television set, the electron beam consists of electrons shot horizontally at the television screen with a speed of about 5 x 107 m/s. How far does a typical electron fall as it moves approximately 40 cm from the electron gun to the screen?
During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2 km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range. a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range? b) How long was the ball in the air? c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?
