Answer:
1.) h = 164.8 m
2.) U = 49.1 m/s
3.) t = 1.43 seconds
Explanation:
1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...?
Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero
Using second equation of motion
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
Substitutes the time into the formula
h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2
h = 164.8 m
2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?
At maximum height final velocity = 0
Using the third law of motion
V^2 = U^2 - 2gH
0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123
U^2 = 2410.8
U = 49.1 m/s
3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?
Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero
Using the second equation of motion,
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
substitute all the parameters into the formula
10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2
10 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 10/4.9
t^2 = 2.04
t = 1.43 seconds

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.
