2.0 Kinematics of Linear motion is defined as the studies of motion of an objects without
considering the effects that produce the motion. There are two types of motion:
Linear or straight line motion (1-D) with constant (uniform) velocity with constant (uniform) acceleration, e.g. free fall motion
Projectile motion (2-D) x-component (horizontal) y-component (vertical)

Solution :The parcels velocity = planes velocity
thus
a. The vertical displacement is given by
Thus the flight time of the parcel is
1s m 50 == uux

Use gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81 m s21. A basketball player who is 2.00 m tall is standing on the floor
10.0 m from the basket, as in Figure 2.13. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle above the horizontal, at what initial speed must he throw so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? The basket height is 3.05 m.
ANS. : 10.7 m s1

the ground,c. the maximum height reached by the apple from the
ground.ANS. : 4.90 s; 170 m; 40.4 m
3. A stone is thrown from the top of one building toward a tall building 50 m away. The initial velocity of the ball is 20 m s1at 40 above the horizontal. How far above or below its original level will the stone strike the opposite wall?
