A mountain climber stands at the top of a 41.5-m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones vertically downward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone had an initial velocity of -1.40 m/s. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) How long after release of the first stone did the two stones hit the water? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) s...

Much of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is over 12,000 feet high. Although it is a beautiful drive in summer months, in winter the road is closed because of severe weather conditions. Sustained gale-force winds (over 32 miles per hour and often over 90 miles per hour) occur on the average of 0.7 times every 56 hours at a Trail Ridge Road weather station. (a) Let r = frequency with which gale-force winds occur in a given...
