Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm

onaut Valdimir tosses a banana at you at a speed of 16 m/s. At exactly the same instant, you fling a scoop of ice cream at Valdimir along exactly the same path. The collision between banana and ice cream produces a banana split 8.2 m from your location 1.4 s after the banana and ice cream were launched.
1. How fast did you toss the ice cream?

2. How far were you from Valdimir when you tossed the ice cream?

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>
