Why might surface mining be less risky for miners than underground mining?

Aball tossed vertically upward from the ground next to a building passes the bottom of a window 1.8 s after being tossed and passes the top of the window 0.20 s later. the window is 2.0 m high from top to bottom. what was the ball's initial velocity? the unit vector j^ is directed upward. how far is the bottom of the window from the launch position? how high does the ball rise above the launch position?

Part a constants huck finn walks at a speed of 0.60 m/s across his raft (that is, he walks perpendicular to the raft's motion what is huck's velocity (speed and direction) relative to the river bank? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. relative to the shore)

Velocity is a description of both speed and direction, therefore it - a vector - a force arrow - the same as acceleration - a magnitude
