1. Billy, a mountain goat, is rock climbing on his favorite slope one sunny spring morning when a rock comes hurtling toward him from a ledge 40.0 m above. Billy ducks and avoids injury. a) How fast is the rock traveling when it passes Billy? b) How does this speed compare to that of a car travelig down the highway all the speed limit of 25 m/s (equivalent to 55 mi/h)?

2. How long is Tina, a ballerina, in the air when she leaps straight up with a speed of 1.8 m/s?

3. At six Flags great adventure amusement park in New Jersey, a popular ride known as "free fall" carries passengers up to a height of 33.5 m and drops them to the ground inside a small cage. How fast are the passegengers going at the bottom of this exhilarating journey?
 
1. Depends on the shape of the rock
2. Depends how high she jumped
3. Is the ride frictionless? What is the shape of the cage?

Best non-answer ever.
