6. Kinematics and Dynamics

a. Using a powerful air soft gun, a pellet is shot directly upward for 40m/s. After 2seconds,
another ball is shot directly upward for 30m/s. Assume no air movement.

Q1. Will the balls meet in the air?

Q2. If yes, at what height did they come in contact to each other?
 b. Sakuragi is 6ft and 4 inches tall. If he shot a ball 1.5ft above his head 40° inclined with velocity
of 5ft/ and the ring is 10ft tall,

Q1. How far from the ring should Sakuragi shoot?

Q2. If Captain Gori should stop the ball having 7.5ft vertical span, can he stop the ball and how far/near
should Gori be?

c. In Schrodinger’s experiment, the cat’s location is given by the equation

x (t) =4t3–3t2+4t+8. What is the acceleration and velocity after 4 seconds?

 d. A ball is to be kicked horizontally on top of a building 100m tall and 5m/s velocity.

Q1. How far did the ball fall from the base of the building?

Q2. How much time did the ball take in that fall?

e. Car A is moving 200m/s max along a street where Car B is parked just by the crossing. If the 2
cars should race when starting from the point where Car A passed car B, by what distance will
Car B pass Car A if Car B accelerates 10 m/s with max velocity of 250m/s.
