5 Free Fall

The document contains three physics problems involving free fall motion. The first problem asks for the time and velocity of a cliff diver hitting the water after jumping from 100m up with an initial velocity of 5m/s. The second problem asks for the time and final velocity of a sandbag dropped from a hot air balloon 300m up that is rising at 13m/s. The third problem gives the time of 3.41s for a stone to hit water after being dropped down a well and asks for the depth of the well.

Example An object does free fall motion. It hits the ground after 4 seconds. Calculate the velocity of the object after 3 seconds and before it hits the ground. What can be the height it is thrown?

A stone is dropped into a deep well and is heard to hit the water 3.41 s after being dropped. Determine the depth of the well. Given: a = -9.8 m/s2 t = 3.41 s vi = 0 m/s d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2 d = (0 m/s)*(3.41 s)+ 0.5*(-9.8 m/s2)*(3.41 s)2 d = 0 m+ 0.5*(-9.8 m/s2)*(11.63 s2) d = -57.0 m (NOTE: the - sign indicates direction) http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/1dkin/u1l6d.cfm#sol3 Find: d = ??
