Free Fall Problems:

1. A balloonist drops his camera from a height of 100 m while his balloon is ascending at
5 m/s. With what velocity will the camera impact the ground?
B) How long did it take to reach the ground?

2. A trampolinist leaves the surface of the trampoline moving upward at 3 m/s. What
will be her maximum displacement?

3. A cannonball is fired vertically upwards at 100 m/s. How long will it take to return to
the cannon?
b) What is its maximum displacement?

4. A rock is thrown downwards from the edge of the Grand Canyon. With what velocity
will it hit the donkey-riding tourist who is 40 m below?

5. A sandwich is thrown upwards by a street vendor to a person in the third floor window
of a building. If the vendor releases the sandwich from 2 m above the ground and the
third floor window is 10 m above the ground, at what velocity will the sandwich be
moving when it is caught?

6. A rock is tossed upwards at 15 m/s from a height of 1 m above the ground, what will
be its velocity when it is 6 m above the ground?
