A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 100 m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.)

(a) Find the distance (in meters) of the stone above ground level at time t.

h(t) = −4.9t2+100

(b) How long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(c) With what velocity does it strike the ground? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

(d) If the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 6 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Two balls are placed, one above the other, and dropped from a height of 1.47 m. The bottom ball has a mass which is 7 times the mass of the top ball. They are dropped from rest. When the balls strike the floor, they have a head on, elastic collision with one another. (Assume that the bottom ball strikes the floor, instantly reverses direction, and then collides with the top ball, which is still travelling downward.) How high will the...
