To find the instantaneous velocity at any time, draw a tangent to the position vs time curve at thattime and determine the slope of the line. Your numbers may be slightly different from the onesgiven here. At 1.0 s, we get a tangent passing through points with coordinates (0.3 s, 0 m) and(2.5 s, 25 m). This gives a slope of 11 m/s. At 3.0 s, the position vs time graph is a straight line,so the instantaneous velocity will be the same as the average velocity between 2.0 s and 4.0 s, or7.5 m/s. Again, your value may be slightly different if you estimate a different position at 4.0 s.

2-84. v0 = 1.0 m/s downward, and the ball is initially some distance h above the ground. After fallingthat distance h, the ball will strike the ground with some speed v and will rebound (reverse itsdirection of motion) at the same speed if the collision with the ground is elastic. (This conceptwill be introduced in a later chapter.) Since it starts moving back up with the same speed it hadjust before it hit the ground, the time required to return to its starting point a distance h above thefloor will be the same as the time required for it to reach the floor in the first place, and it willarrive at the distance h above the ground with same speed with which it was initially thrown.Thus the downward and upward travel times are each equal to half the total travel time. The speed

of the ball just before striking the ground is 0 ,2tv v g= + where t is the total travel time. Then

x1 = x0 + v0t − 12

gt2 = 15t − 4.9t2. The second stone is thrown 1.00 s later,

so x2 = v0t′, where t′ is the time after the second stone is thrown,so t′ = t − 1.00 s. Thereforex2 = v0(t − 1) − 4.9(t − 1)2

We want the stones to collide at a height of 11 m. Thereforex1 = 15t 0 − 4.9t 2

(b) Since the drops are falling at a constant rate, the median height is the distance fallen by a dropin half the time needed for it to hit the ground. Calling this time τ, we have

τ = 1 (2 / )2
