During a tornado in 2008 the Peachtree Plaza Westin Hotel in downtown Atlanta suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped near the top of the hotel falling 215 meters . A .Ignoring air resistance, how long would it take the piece of glass to hit the ground? B. Ignoring air resistance, what will the velocity of the piece of glass be when it strikes the ground?

Adelivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. the truck makes a left turn and travels 1.25 km west before making another right turn to travel 1.40 km north to arrive at its destination. what is the magnitude and direction of the truck's displacement from the warehouse?

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
