304-I: Kinematic Equations 7: Real world kinematics in two directions
Topic Cluster: Kinematics
Topic: Forward and Backwards Kinematics Quantitative
Objective: Solve real world problems with an object moving at a constant acceleration in two directions, including pop-up problems; interpret results for relevant information
Someone throws their shoe so that
it lands on the roof.
If the roof is 8 meters tall
and they throw their shoe at a speed
of 20 meters/second,
how much time does it take the shoe to reach the roof.
(assume the shoe and roof are magnetic, so the shoe
sticks to the roof the moment it arrives.)
If a roof is 12 meters tall,
how fast does someone need to throw
a pizza directly upward so it lands on the roof?
