FREE FALLING BODIES:
A ball is thrown upward from the basketball court with the
velocity of 12 m/sec. One second later another ball is
thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 24 m/sec.
When will the balls be at the same level?
How far above the floor will the balls be at the same
level?
Determine the time the second ball traveled until
the balls are at the same level.
When will the balls be at the same level?

Distance above the floor that the balls
will be at the same level

S=12m/sec (1.325 sec)−4.905 m/sec (1.325 sec)2
S=7.29m Answer.
Time the second ball travelled until the
stones are at the same level
t 2=t −1
t 2=1.325−1
t 2=¿ 0.325 sec Answer.
MOTION CURVES:
An automobile is to travel a distance from A to B of 540 m., in exactly 40 seconds. The auto
accelerates and decelerates at 1.8 m/sec²., starting from the rest at A and coming to rest at
B. find the maximum speed.

¿ Eq . 4 :
540=v t 1 + v (40−2t 1)
540=v t 1 + 40 v−2 v t 1
540=40 v −v t 1
540=v ( 40−t 1)
¿ Eq .1 :
