1D Freefall: Numerical Problems

Mikaela Fudolig Physics 71 lecture

Example 1
A rock is dropped from a height of 2.0 meters above the ground.
When will it reach the ground? What is its speed upon reaching the ground?

Example 2
A rock is thrown downwards, giving it an initial speed of 1.0 m/s. If it hits the ground with a speed of 15 m/s, from what height was it thrown?

Example 3
You throw a ball upwards from a height 1.0 m above the ground, and then observe it until it falls to the ground with a speed of 20 m/s.
With what initial speed was it thrown? How long did it stay in the air?

Example 4
You throw a ball upwards from a height of 2.0m above the ground, and observe that it comes to a complete stop when it is 3.0m above the ground.
What is the total time of flight of the ball?

Example 5
In order to hit the head of the person on the ground, when should you release the egg?
