HUGE physics test trick!!!!!!! A chupacabra is tossed directly up in the air on Earth. What is the chupacabras velocity and what is her acceleration when she is at the highest point? (Assume the chupacabra is a sphere and that air resistance is negligible.)

highest point= highest point=

(Show your work!)
1. You are standing on a cliff that is 50 m tall. You throw a tomato vertically upward at a velocity of 2 m/s. How long does it take until the tomato hits the ground?

2. A firework is shot straight up in the air with an initial speed of 50 m/s. A) What is the maximum height it reaches? B) How long is it airborne?

3.

A solid metal ball and a hollow plastic ball of the same external radius are released from rest in a large vacuum chamber. When each has fallen 1m, they both have the same (A) inertia (B) speed (C) momentum (D) kinetic energy (E) change in potential energy Justify your answer choice.
