When a bullet is fired, does gunpowder only travels back towards the shooter

An object is dropped from a tower, 400 ft above the ground. the object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is s(t)equals400 minus 16 t squared. determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. the velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is nothing ft/s.

You will be galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. (refer to the walk-through video to locate the online lab within the online textbook).

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
