b) Ball 1 is dropped from a building of height h at the same instant that ball 2 is thrown verti- cally upward from the ground. The balls collide and move in opposite directions, with the speed of ball 1 equal to twice the speed of ball 2. Calculate the distance from the ground that the collision occurs.

Train A is moving with a constant velocity of 10 m/s toward Train B. Train B starts from rest and speeds up toward Train A at a rate of 1.5 m/s/s. If the two trains are 100 m apart at the moment Train B starts from rest: A) How much time does it take for the trains to collide?
A jeepney and a train are moving together along parallel paths at 30.0 m/s, with the jeepney adjacent to the rear of the train. The jeepney driver sees the traffic light turn red, so he accelerates at -2.50 m/s2, and then let his jeepney come to rest. The jeepney is at rest for 50.0 s, and then accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 to go back to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Assuming that the speed of the train remained constant at 30.0 m/s, how far is the jeepney from the rear of the train when the jeepney reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s?
A distance of 60 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.2 m/s2 towards each other.Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 16 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash together.a) What is the total distance the porpoise travelled? b) what is the speed of the jetskis when they crash together?
1. I drop a ball from height h above the ground. At the same time, my friend, standing directlybelow on the ground, throw a second ball upwards with speed v0. The two balls collideat the moment when the second ball (the ball that my friend threw) is instantaneously atrest.(a) Did I throw the ball, or did I just release it? (b) At what height did the collision take place? (c) A wise old man tells you that if two rubbery balls of equal mass collide, with one ballat rest, the velocity of the first ball just after the collision is the same as the velocityof the second ball just before the collision (and vice versa). Sketch the distancebetween the two balls as a function of time after the collision (until one of the ballsreaches the ground).
A rubber ball is shot straight up from the ground with speed vo. Simultaneously, a second rubber ball at height h directly above the first ball is dropped from rest. For what value of h does the collision occur at the instant when the first ball is at its highest point?
After returning from the bend, a train driver with a speed of 97 km/h recognizes a car 61 m away from the train and moving with a constant speed of 48 km/h. The train driver immediately applies the brake. If the train slows with a constant acceleration, what should be the acceleration in order to avoid from the collision of the train and car?
Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 17 f/s. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 20 ft/s. Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision. (Ctrl)
At moment when a rocket is 1120 m above the ground, it is traveling straight upward with a speed of 955 m/s. At that instant a small piece detaches from the rocket and begins to freefall travel. Find velocity of the piece the instant before it hits the ground. Find the time required for it to reach the ground.
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large, (b) It is the same, (c) It is V5 limes larger, (d) It is 6 times larger, (e) It is 6limes larger.
A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingersgrabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?
