You are trying to improve your shooting skills by shooting at a can on top of a fence post. You miss the can, and the bullet, moving at \(200 . \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},\) is embedded \(1.5 \mathrm{~cm}\) into the post when it comes to a stop. If constant acceleration is assumed, how long does it take for the bullet to stop?
If the acceleration of an object is zero and its velocity is nonzero, what can you say about the motion of the object? Sketch velocity versus time and acceleration versus time graphs for your explanation.
A girl is standing at the edge of a cliff \(100 . \mathrm{m}\) above the ground. She reaches out over the edge of the cliff and throws a rock straight upward with a speed \(8.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). a) How long does it take the rock to hit the ground? b) What is the speed of the rock the instant before it hits the ground?
Bill Jones has a bad night in his bowling league. When he gets home, he drops his bowling ball in disgust out the window of his apartment, from a height of \(63.17 \mathrm{~m}\) above the ground. John Smith sees the bowling ball pass by his window when it is \(40.95 \mathrm{~m}\) above the ground. How much time passes from the time when John Smith sees the bowling ball pass his window to when it hits the ground?
A stone is thrown upward, from ground level, with an initial velocity of \(10.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). a) What is the velocity of the stone after 0.50 s? b) How high above ground level is the stone after 0.50 s?
