1. Wile E Coyote falls from a cliff 1000 m tall, as he passes an altitude of 700 m, what is his speed? His entire fall is in a vacuum, so neglect air resistance. a) 35 m/s e) 77 m/s b) 44 m/s c) 54 m/s d) 63 m/s

Step 1
Step 1: The coyote falls from a height of 1000 m to 700 m, so the distance he falls is 1000 m - 700 m = 300 m. Show more…

Wile E. Coyote is standing at the top of a 300 m cliff. Road Runner startles him, and he falls to the canyon below. Assume that the only acceleration is due to gravity: 9.8 m/sec2 downward. (a)Write down equations for the position and velocity of the poor coyote. (b)How much time passes before he hits the ground? (c)What is his velocity after 4 seconds?

A 3.0-kg cylinder falls vertically from rest in a very tall, evacuated tube near the surface of the earth. What is its speed after the cylinder has fallen 6.0m? 8.0 m/s 120 m/s 13 m/s 26 m/s 11 m/s

An object of mass 2 lb is dropped from a height of 100 ft above the ground. Calculate the velocity of the object when hitting the ground. It is assumed that the air-resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity, drag constant is 4, and absolute value of the gravitational acceleration is 32 ft/sec². (a) 4√(1 + e⁴⁰) ft/sec. (b) 4√(1 + e⁻⁴⁰) ft/sec. (c) 4√(1 + e⁴⁰⁰) ft/sec. (d) 4√(1 + e⁻⁴⁰⁰) ft/sec.
