A pumpkin is thrown horizontally off of a building at a speed of 2.5 — and travels a horizontal distance of 12 m before hitting the ground. We can ignore air resistance.

What is the vertical velocity when it hits the ground

Awater balloon launcher uses an elastic band with a spring constant of 115 n/m to use thee launcher you stretch thee band back with a balloon n it the water balloons have a mass of 1.3 kg a) if you stretch the band by 0.8 m, what elastic force will the band exert? b) with the band stretched 0.8 m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring? c) if you release the band, it pushes forward. what is the kinetic energy of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band? d) what is the speed of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band?

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 10 mys, its height in meters t seconds later is given by y − 10t 2 1.86t 2 . (a) find the average velocity over the given time intervals: (i) [1, 2] (ii) [1, 1.5] (iii) [1, 1.1] (iv) [1, 1.01] (v) [1, 1.001] (b) estimate the instantaneous velocity when t − 1.
