The Summit Plummet is an extreme water slide—one of the steepest and fastest in the world. Riders drop 36 m from the start until they hit a run-out at the bottom. If you give yourself a good push at the start, so that you begin your plunge moving at 2.0 m/s, how fast are you moving when you get to the bottom? How fast would you be moving if you skipped the push? The slide is steep and slippery, so assume that you can ignore friction and drag forces.

A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
Julie, who has a mass of 65 kg, is enjoying a day at the local water park with some friends. She waits for her turn at the top of a water slide and then begins sliding down. The topof the water slide is 12 m above the pool and the bottom is 1 m above the pool. How fast is she moving when she reaches the bottom, in m/s? (Round your answer to one decimal place if necessary.)
At UPS, a sorting line is where boxes move from a horizontal belt to a stainless steel ramp then slide down the ramp to a bumper stopper where a person moves them to one of several conveyors depending on the destination. The boxes are moving at 1.2 m/s when entering the slide, which is 3 meters long and inclined at 20° degrees. How fast are the boxes moving when they hit the bumper?
A car traveling at 35 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while driving up a 7° incline. How long will it take for the car to stop after it runs out of gas (if it doesn't use its brakes and there is no friction)? How far will it travel before it stops?
Butch and Sundance are standing on the edge of a cliff, arguing about whether ornot they should jump into the water below. Butch drops a small rock and is able to count to 7-Mississippi (i.e., 7 seconds) before it hits the water. Assume g=10 m/s2.Ignore air resistance.a) If they were to jump, how fast would they be going just before they hit the water?(in m/s)b) How high is the cliff in meters?c) Transform the velocity in a) to mi/hr and the height in b) to feet. Would you jump?
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 13.3 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g=9.80 m/s2. maximum height: At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? earlier time at half maximum height: later time at half maximum height:

A classic wooden coaster has cars that go down a big first hill, gaining speed. The cars then ascend a second hill with a slope of 30°. If the cars are going 25 m/s at the bottom and it takes them 2.0 s to climb this hill, how fast are they going at the top?
A bus bound to San Carlos City is moving up a steep hill in DSB at 30m/s when suddenly the engine stopped. The driver hits the brakes, but they don't work either. The bus starts to accelerate at -3m/s2. How far does it move forward before it starts sliding back down the hill?
