Physics: Speed, Distance and time Assignment

Problem Set 1

1. A tiger leaps horizontally from a 12 m high rock with a speed of 4.5 m/s. How for from the base of the rock will she land?
2. A diver running 16 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water 3.0 s later. How high was the cliff and how for from its base did the diver hit the water?
3. You Toss an apple horizontally at 9.5 m/s from a height of 1.8 m. Simultaneously, you drop a peach from the same height. How long does it take the peach to reach the ground?
4. An arrow fired horizontally at 41 m/s travels 23 m horizontally before it hits the ground. From what height was it fired?
5. A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 50. m tall and lands 45 m from the base. What was the ball's initial speed?
6. A bowling ball is rolled off the top of a cliff with an initial horizontal velocity of 6.0 m/s (E), if the cliff is 100. m above the ground, determine
   1. the ball's time of flight
   2. the ball's range
7. Ms. Swanson throws a tomato horizontally out of an open window with a velocity of 3.0 m/s. If the window is 10. m above the ground, how far away from the building
