    Free-fall Practice Problems

    1. A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff. It is seen to hit the ground below after 3.50 s. How
    high is the cliff?

    2. Calculate how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State
    Building (380 m high). What was his velocity just before “landing”?

    3. A ball is dropped from a height of 80 meters from the top of a building. Assuming there is
    no air resistance, calculate the following:

     Time taken for the ball to reach the ground.

     Velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground.

    4. A ball is thrown vertically downward with a velocity of 15 m/s from the roof of a building
    that is 22 m high.

     How long does it take to hit the ground below?


     How fast was it going when it hit?

    5. A ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of ( 15 m/s) from the roof of a building
    that is ( 22 m ) high. How long does it take to hit the ground below? How fast was it going
    when it hit?

    6. A ball player catches a ball ( 3.3 s ) after throwing it vertically upward. With what speed did
    he throw it, and at what height did it reach

    7. A coin is tossed vertically upward and reaches a maximum height of (0.9 m) before it
    comes back down. With what velocity was it thrown, and how long was it in the air?

    8. The best rebounders in basketball have a vertical leap that is vertical movement of a fixed
    point on their body (usually sternum off the ground). What is their “launch” speed off the
    ground?

    9. An arrow is shot straight up with an initial velocity of (50 m/s)

     How long are they in the air?


     Find time to reach the highest point.
     How high does the arrow go?
