    The document provides 6 problems involving free fall motion. The problems involve calculating: 1) The speed and height of a ball dropped from a building that takes 2.8 seconds to hit the ground. 2) Whether a classmate could catch a peso bill dropped through their fingers, given the bill's length, average human reaction time, and assumptions about constant acceleration due to gravity. 3) The maximum height reached and time of flight for a stone thrown straight up with an initial speed of 15 m/s, and the maximum height if on the moon with 1/6 earth's gravity.

    Activity 8

    Free fall Motion

    Solve applying the equations for free fall motion

    1. A student drops a ball from the top of a building. The ball takes 2.8 s to reach the ground.
    a. What was the ball’s speed just before hitting the ground?
    b. What is the height of the building?

    2. You can perform a popular trick by dropping any peso bill (Ex. 500 peso bill )lengthwise
    through the thumb and forefinger of a classmate. Tell your classmate to grab the peso bill as
    fast as possible and he/she can keep the money if he/she catches it. The length of the peso
    bill is 15.7 cm and the average human reaction time is about 0.20 s. Will your classmate catch
    the bill and keep the money?

    3. a) A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial speed of 15 m/s. What maximum height
    will the stone reach before falling back down?
    b) What would be the maximum height of the stone if the boy and the stone were on the
    surface of the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is only ⅙ that of the Earth’s?

    4. In the figure below, a student at the window on the second floor of a dorm sees his Physics
    teacher walking on the sidewalk beside the building. He drops a water balloon from 18 m
    above the ground when the teacher is 1 m away from the point directly beneath the window. If
    the teacher is 1.7 m tall and walks at a constant velocity of 0.450 m/s, would the water balloon
    hit her? If not, how close does it come?
    5. A pollution-sampling rocket is launched straight upward with rockets providing a constant
    acceleration of 12 m/s² for the first 1,000 m of flight. At that point the rocket motors cut off
    and the rocket itself is in free fall. Ignore air resistance.
    a). What is the rocket’s speed when the engines cut off?
    b) What is the maximum altitude reached by this rocket?
    c) What is the time it takes to get to its maximum altitude?

    6. The Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia and the Willis Tower (formerly Chicago Sears Tower)
    have heights of about 452 m and 443 m respectively. If objects were dropped from the top of
    What would be the difference in the time it takes the objects to reach the ground?
