Free Falling

The document presents three physics problems involving projectile motion. Problem No.5 focuses on a tennis ball thrown upwards, asking for its maximum height and total time in the air. Problems No.6 and No.7 involve a coin flipped and a beanbag thrown, respectively, requiring calculations of velocity, initial speed, and height reached.

Problem No.

A tennis ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 22.5 m/s. It is caught at the same distance above the ground.
a. How high does the ball rise?

b. How long does the ball remain in the air? Hint: The time it takes the ball to rise equals the time it takes to fall.

Problem No.6

You decide to flip a coin to determine whether to do your physics or English homework first. The coin is flipped straight
up.

a. What is the velocity of the coin at the top of its trajectory?


b. If the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it, what was its initial speed?

c. If you catch it at the same height as you released it, how much time did it spend in the air?
Problem No. 7

You throw a beanbag in the air and catch it 2.2 s later at the same place at which you threw it.

a. How high did it go?

b. What was its initial velocity?
