A ball is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of 20.0 meters per socond from the top of a tower 60.0?

Initial vert velocity is zero\n\nfor free fall\n\nd=Vixt + 0.5xgxt^2, d=60, Vi=0, g=9.81\nt=(60/(0.5x9.81))^0.5\nt=3.497487084 s\n  \n\nIf there is no air resistance, horizontal velocity doesn't change

So far, you have a starting position and an ending position.  If this were a physics question, you'd also need numbers like the mass of the ball and the initial launch velocity.\n\nIn general the equation of motion is given by\n\ns = s0 + v0t + at^2\n\nwhere you need or have the final position (which we have), initial position (which we have), initial speed (which we're looking for, gravity (a known constant), and the time in flight (which we can find using other equations).  Generally, things will go up and down parabolically, not in a straight line, so we need more information about this to answer your question.\n\nNow if you're just looking at a straight line path, then you can use some trig to find at least the angle to the ball (you can't find the speed if you're assuming straight line travel).  In this case, if the person is 1.7 m, and he is standing 5.8 m from the basket that is 3.05 m away, you have a right triangle where the horizontal leg is 5.8 m and the vertical leg is 4.1 m (the difference between the height of the basket and the player, assuming that the ball is thrown from 1.7 m above the ground).  Using the tangent function, you can find that angle:\n\ntan x = opposite side / adjacent side\n= 4.1 / 5.8\n= 0.7069\nx = 35.26 degrees\n\nBut again, laws of motion dictate that the ball follow a parabola to the basket.  But at least we can say that the launch angle has to be at least 35.26 degrees.

An egg is pretty aerodynamic, so we can neglect friction. Thus, a falling object satisfies the equation\n\ns(t) = -0.5*g*t^2+v0*t+s0\n\nwhere g is 9.82 m/s^2, v0 is the start velocity (in this case, 0) and s0 is the start height (in this case, 3 metres).\n\nSo, letting s(t)=0 and solving for t, we get\n\n0 = -0.5*g*t^2 + 3\n\nt = sqrt(6/g) = 0.78 seconds.

Yes, Kaplan is correct.  While the ball is being thrown it is accelerating (not necessarily at 15 m/s2) up to a velocity of 15 m/s.  Once the ball is released the only force acting on it is gravity at -9.8 m/s2.

the first after collision moves in an opposite direction and the second ball moves towards the direction of collision\nfirst ball moves with a velocity of  16.66cm/s\nsecond ball with 66.66cm/s

mass doesn't matter here, just the acceleration\nv=u+at\na=(v-u)/t\na=(9-0)/0.15=60 m/s^2

you have your units wrong, do you mean 5m/s or 5m/s^2 and you mean 20m from the ground?\nIf acc=5 when height=20 speed= 14.14 in upwards direction (using 2ax=v^2-u^2)\nIf initial speed is therefore -14.14m/s then at t=1 speed=-4.34m/s so it is still going upwards\nt=2 speed= 5.45m/s it is now going down. Both last results worked out using v=u + at\n(Sorry I assumed you meant 5m/s^2 straight up, you need the angle at which it accelerates aswell)

I'll give you a head start, and we'll see if you can figure it out from there:\n\nFirst, the givens:\n\nd = height from the ground to the point at which the two balls are released = 122.5 meters\n\nv1 = initial velocity of the first ball = 0\nv2 = initial velocity of the second ball\nt1 = time ball 1 is dropping (seconds)\nt2 = time ball 2 is dropping (seconds)\nt2 = (t1)-2 seconds\n\na = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/sec^2\n\nFor both balls:\n\nd = vt + at^2\n\nFor the first ball, v1 = 0, so d = at1^2\n\nFor the second ball, d = v2t2 + at2^2\n\nThe distance in both case is the same, so:\n\nat1^2 = d = v2t2 + at2^2\n\nOkay, so here you go:  You have the basic equations,so solving is trivial arithmetic:\n\nd = 122.5 meters = (9.8 m/sec^2) (t1)^2\n\nand solve for t1.  Once you know t1, then you know that t2 is two seconds less, so with that value you can solve:\n\nd = 122.5 meters = v2t2 + (9.8 m/sec^2)(t2)^2\n\nI leave the rest to you!  (And I have calculated the answer if you want to check it)

Most pros have an initial ball speed of around 150 mph

Well gosh....  \n\nsince the only linear unit mentioned in the question is 18 ft/s  let's assume that the 60 is going to give us acceleration in ft/sec^2 \n\nSo, the position function for this is the second integral of the acceleration function, right? \n\nso...  the first anti-derivative of 60t is  30t^2   which gives the velocity, so at the end of the boost phase, our rocket is moving 30 * 3 * 3 = 270 ft/s \n\nand the second antiderivative is 10t^3  right?  \n\nSo, the position at time T is 10 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 270 feet.  (odd coincidence, but there you are...) \n\nNow, the rocket begins a SECOND acceleration by gravity of -32 ft/s negative 'cause we're accelerating DOWN now... ....   but this time the acceleration is constant,  so \n\nV = gt   and s = 1/2  a  t^2 so, we're slowing from 270 feet per second to zero at the top...  and  t = v/g = 270 / 32 = 8.44 seconds and the height we coast to is the 270 we had at the end of boost plus   1/2  *  32  * 8.44 * 8.44 = 1140 feet.  \n\nThe parachute is going to open after 14 seconds...   so, 14-8.44 is 5.56 seconds of free-fall (and we'll ignore air resistance again) so, we go from zero to something in 5.56 seconds....   and position is 1140 - ( 1/2  * g  * t^2 ) again...   so, the parachute opens at \n\n1140 - (1/2  * 32  * 5.56 * 5.56 )  = 645 feet. \n\nad the velocity is  gt = -32 * 5.56 = -178 feet per second...  \n\nNow, for the NEXT five seconds, we slow under the effect of the parachute   to  -18 ft/sec -- so,  we slow by 160 feet per second in five seconds, so the acceleration of the parachute is (oddly) 32 feet/second squared (huh, how odd is that? )  \n\nSo, the distance traveled during that phase is Vo t + 1/2 at^2  \n\nSo, we have (-160 * 5) + (1/2*32*5*5) =  -800 + 400 = 400 feet.  \n\nand from 400 feet up, we continue down at 18 ft/s for an additional  22 seconds...  \n\nand the rocket lands at t = 22 + 5 +  14 + 3  = 44 seconds \n\nAnd yes, I dropped a bunch of decimal points.  Your original data was only to two significant digits....

Analyze the forces at the top of the loop:\n\nThe force of gravity pulling the ball downward,\nthe upward centrifigal force keeping the ball on the track,\nand the force of the track pushing the ball downward.\n\nThe answer to the question is when the centrifigal force is exactly equal to the weight, so the force of the track equals zero.\nmg=mw^2R\nw is the angular velocity\nw=sqrt(g/R)\n\nOnce you know the angular velocity, compute the equivalent linear velocity by mutlipying by R\n\nthen use mgh=1/2mv^2\nto compute h\n\nWhere is point Q?\n\nj

If there is no wind speed, no other gravitational pulls present, no magnetic interference, and you throw it perfectly perpendicular up, then it will fall at the same place.\n\nIf you are riding in the passenger seat of a car going 20 mph, and you throw a ball out your window straight out, the ball will have an initial forward speed of 20mph.\n\nThe same concept applies in your question.  Let's say when you look up, the earth is rotating to the left.  When you throw the ball in the air, its initial direction will go a little to the left, but you won't notice it cause you are going a little to the left as well.\n\nHopefully that helps a little bit.  It's a little hard to explain without pictures.

For a back row spike I found 26.7-27.6m/s (mean).  Sorry, but that was all I could find!  I was going to do a study on it - but then I switched out of biomechanics into exercise physiology.  You could do it by calculating time elapsed between contacting the ball and the ball reaching the floor.  You would have to know the height at which the ball was contacted and how far it traveled horizontally from the point of contact.  They you find the hypotenuse using Pythagorean theorem and divide this number by the time to get an estimated velocity.

Assuming that the energy of the ball remains constant (i.e. no air resistance), the speed will be the same. The VELOCITY, however, will be -35 m/s.\nSpeed and velocity are NOT the same!

If they are thrown with the same MAGNITUDE of velocity, and you are either not counting air resistance or are assuming that they all have the same drag parameters, then the MAGNITUDES of the final velocities will all be the same.  The actual velocities of the ones thrown up and down will be exactly the same while the one thrown horizontally will have a horizontal component an a lesser vertical component.  Still, all magnitudes will be the same.\n\nIf however, they are thrown at different speeds, then it will be the one that is thrown the hardest If you are counting air resistance and the balls have different drag parameters, then you have not provided enough info to tell.\n\nAnd if by final velocity you mean after they have come to rest on the ground, then obviously they all have a velocity of 0.  Typically this is not referred to as final though.
