Free Fall Problems
(neglect air resistance)
1.  A stone is released (dropped) from the edge of a 100 m high cliff.
	a)  How long does it take the stone to land?
	b)  How fast is the stone going when it strikes the
	     ground?  (final/impact velocity)

2.  A cheerleader leaps straight up from the floor.  She reaches a maximum height of 0.35 m.
	a)  How long is the trip up?
	b)  How long is the trip down?
	c)  What was her “launch velocity”?
	d)  What was her landing velocity?
	e)  What was her total vertical displacement?
	f)  What was her maximum height?

3.  A small child is thrown up in the air by its father.  The child rises to a height of 0.5 m above the fathers hands.  
	a)  How fast was the child going when it left its father’s
	     hands?
	b)  How long was the child in the air?

4.  A bullet is fired straight upward with an initial velocity of 300 m/s.
	a)  How high will it go?
	b)  How long will it be in the air?
	c)  What will its velocity be when it comes back to the
	     earth?
