Estimate (a) how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (380 m high), and (b) his velocity just before 鈥渓anding.鈥
If you are driving at 95 km/h along a straight road, and you look to the side for 2.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period?
If particle A at is at , and at is at , what is its average velocity over this time interval? Can you calculate its average speed from these data? Why or why not?
You drop a rock off a bridge. When the rock has fallen 4m, you drop a second rock. As the two rocks continue to fall, what happens to their velocities?
(a) Both increase at the same rate.
(b) The velocity of the first rock increases faster than the velocity of the second.
(c) The velocity of the second rock increases faster than the velocity of the first.
(d) Both velocities stay constant.
An object starts from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. Draw graphs of (a) its speed and (b) the distance it has fallen, as a function of time forand. Ignore air resistance.
