Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.8CYU
Check Your Understanding You probably recall that, neglecting air resistance, if you throw a projectile straight up, the time ii takes to reach its maximum height equals the time it takes to fall from the maximum height back to the starting height. Suppose you cannot neglect air resistance, as in Example 8.8. Is the time the projectile takes to go up (a) greater than, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the time It takes to come back down? Explain.

You are staying in a hotel on the 4th floor (12 m from the ground) with a balcony overlooking a pool. You think about how awesome (and stupid) it would be to jump off the balcony into the pool. There is an 2.9 m high fence surrounding the pool, 4 meters from the balcony. Assuming you are a point particle and neglecting air friction, at what minimum horizontal speed would you need to jump off the balcony with to clear the fence. Assume g=10m/s/s.
Check Your Understanding You probably recall that, neglecting air resistance, if you throw a projectile
straight up, the time ii takes to reach its maximum height equals the time it takes to fall from the
maximum height back to the starting height. Suppose you cannot neglect air resistance, as in Example
8.8. Is the time the projectile takes to go up (a) greater than, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the time It
takes to come back down? Explain.
Marbles of mass mm are thrown from the edge of a vertical cliff of height h at speed v0.
a)Neglecting air resistance, how fast (in terms of m, h, and v0) will these marbles be moving when they reach the bottom of the cliff if they are thrown straight up?
b)Neglecting air resistance, how fast (in terms of m, h, and v0) will these marbles be moving when they reach the bottom of the cliff if they are thrown straight down?
c)Neglecting air resistance, how fast (in terms of m, h, and v0) will these marbles be moving when they reach the bottom of the cliff if they are thrown horizontally away from the cliff?
