Two elevators operating in parallel shafts, approach each other from positions which are 120 m apart. The upper car has a downward acceleration of 0.5 m/s, and the lower car is being accelerated upward 1.0 m/s. When and where will they pass each other if the lower car starts 1 second after the other? Draw the figure properly.

recall that g = 9.8 m/s2 = 32 ft/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing atthe very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his handat a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity v0 = 40i + 35j + 32k ft/s.Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/s2 due to gravity and that the i vectorpoints down the field toward the endzone and the j vector points to thesideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ballt seconds after it is thrown.(b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the playerin bounds or out of bounds when he receives the ball? Assume theplayer is standing vertically with both toes on the ground at the time ofreception.
