58) A rock is thrown directly upward from the edge of the roof of a building that is 58)
66.2 meters tall. The rock misses the building on its way down, and is observed
to strike the ground 4.00 seconds after being thrown. Neglect any effects of air
resistance. With what speed was the rock thrown?

59) A rocket takes off vertically from the launchpad with no initial velocity but a 59)
constant upward acceleration of 2.25 m/s2. At 15.4 s after blastoff, the engines
fail completely so the only force on the rocket from then on is the pull ofgravity.
(a) What is the maximum height the rocket will reach above the launchpad?
(b) How fast is the rocket moving at the instant before it crashes onto the
launchpad?
(c) How long after engine failure does it take for the rocket to crash onto the
launchpad?

volley hits in sharp succession, and cut the knees of Archie’s
unmentionables in a fall I had in endeavouring to combine the duties
of cover-point and the bowler, I heard Grace sigh most distinctly, and
Archie said,—
“Dimsdale, are these acrobatic performances intended to divert
Grace’s attention from run-getting? or are they merely to afford a
little variety entertainment to the lookers-on? If that’s the idea, I think
we can compliment you on a daring and original turn.”
But I repeat that I heard Grace distinctly sigh. Could it be that my
fielding was playing havoc with that relentless bosom? Oh, that this
be so! Our scores were now level. And was it not strange that,
though Grace had been making runs precisely as she pleased, she
suddenly ceased to get them altogether? Instead of playing a
wonderfully aggressive and confident game, she began to vacillate.
Nay, she half-heartedly blocked balls that she had been previously
hitting to the fence. What could it mean? Was it possible that good
fielding was in truth the one weakness of Grace the unsusceptible?
What more likely? Was she not a cricketer to her finger-tips? and is
not sound fielding as likely to appeal to persons of that calibre as the
higher virtues?
“What’s old Grace rotting at?” cried Charlie.
“My opinion is she wants Dimmy to bowl her,” said George.
“Just look how she’s nursing the bowling now,” the Optimist said.
“She might be playin’ Humphreys, the way in which she pokes at
those cuckoos,” said T. S. M.
Grace had now been more than two overs without getting a run. And
the agonized expression that she wore seemed to say quite plainly,
“Oh, Dimmy! why don’t you bowl me?”
Yes, my fielding had done it. But of bowling her I was, alas!
physically incapable. In my anxiety to improve I got worse. Indeed, I
was so totally overborne by the requirements of the situation that I
must have given the match away myself by bowling a wide had not
Grace had the presence of mind to step across her wicket, and
thereby just succeed in covering a ball that looked like hitting the fat
barrister at point. Her face appeared to say, “Oh, Dimmy! do keep off
wides and no balls!”
Next ball, however, she took the liberty, as was her arbitrary fashion,
of settling the business for herself: Grace deliberately knocked down
her wicket. Yes, I repeat it in bald prose: Grace deliberately knocked
down her wicket. As a preliminary, she withdrew her bat far away
from the ball, evidently in the forlorn hope that she would be bowled
outright. But as the ball did not happen to be straight by a good deal,
and seeing that so long as she remained in my own erratic trundling
constituted a source of danger in itself, therefore did she turn round
and reduce the stumps with the back of her bat.
“Why, Grace,” demanded the General Public eagerly, “what in
thunder are you playing at?”
“There’s no declaration law in the Rectory rules,” said Grace. “So a
side can’t declare its innings, don’t you see?”
“Been inadvertently omitted,” said Charlie.
“But what did you want to declare for?” said T. S. M. “You hadn’t
won.”
“Yes, tell us why you wanted to declare,” said Toddles, with his
wickedest expression.
Perhaps it was the sun that made Grace so hot and red; but, be that
as it may, the fact must be put in history.
“’Cause I did,” said Grace.
“A feminine reason, I fear,” said the Rector.
“Well, I think it’s something like this,” said I, with rather more valour
than discretion: “there must be lots of times, don’t you know, when a
girl would like to declare, and she can’t declare, because, according
to the laws of the game, there’s no rule whereby she can declare.
You see it, don’t you?”
“Clear as mud,” said Charlie. “She can declare when she can’t
declare, and she—— Say it again, old chap. Certain to get the hang
of it before the end of the season.”
“O’ course, a girl can’t declare, you know, Charlie,” said Grace.
“Well, why a girl?” asked Toddles, hiding his face in his cap. “And
why should she want to declare? And what is it she wants to
declare?”
“Depends on what you’re playing at,” said Archie darkly.
“I am afraid, gentlemen,” said the Rector, “that you are not entirely
familiar with the rules of the game. I think you may safely leave the
matter with Laura. I’ve always said that she had more purely
technical knowledge than all the rest of us put together.”
“Beg pardon, sir,” said Biffin, “but I’ve allus said the very same about
Miss Laura. Allus back her opinion, I would. Although, begging
pardon, sir, I think she’s fair hout this time.”
“Clean bowled, Biffin, I suppose you mean?” said the Rector.
“Hout, sir, fair hout!” said that ancient villain, chuckling till the score-
book shook.
Meantime the Rector was patting his daughter’s cheek. And almost
simultaneously some person or persons unknown buffeted me
violently in the ribs. My suspicions rested on Toddles.

“Mr. Guy Boothby has come to great honours now. His

him several times in England, and he added to my already

PHAROS, THE EGYPTIAN.

“This powerful novel is weird, wonderful, and soul-thrilling.
Mr. Boothby succeeds in making it almost real, and its
marvels and mysteries almost credable. There never was
in this world so strange and wonderful a love story and Mr.
Guy Boothby’s admirers will probably agree that the
most marvellous fiction he has ever produced is ‘Pharos,

(EACH VOLUME UNIFORM.)

HOUGH Mr. Joseph Hocking’s novels have

been (by the Spectator) compared to Mr. Baring-
Gould’s and (by the Star) to Mr. Thomas
Hardy’s—next to whom it placed him as a writer of
country life—and by other journals to Mr. Hall Caine and
Mr. Robert Buchanan, they are, one and all, stamped
with striking and original individuality. Bold in conception,
pure in tone, strenuously high and earnest in purpose,
daring in thought, picturesque and life-like in description,
worked out with singular power and in nervous and
vigorous language, it is not to be wondered at that Mr.
Hocking’s novels are eagerly awaited by a large and ever
increasing public.

Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, 3s. 6d.

THE MAN AND HIS KINGDOM.
Illustrated by J. Ambrose Walton.

A stirring romance of modern communism and political

intrigue, in which the author has brought his peculiar skill
in the weaving of sensational incident to bear upon a plot
and a Scenario, which might have fascinated Anthony
Hope himself.

MYSTERIOUS MR. SABIN.

Illustrated by J. Ambrose Walton.

“One of the brightest and best managed yarns we have

read for many a day. We can recommend Mr. Sabin to all
who like a thoroughly robust mystery tale.”—Sheffield
Independent.
“A distinctly clever and interesting story of state-craft and
intrigue.... Full of dramatic incidents and surprises.”—St.
James’s Gazette.

AS A MAN LIVES.
Illustrated by Stanley L. Wood.
“If you feel the need of a stimulant of this kind (an exciting
story), I can recommend you a singularly stirring
sensational novel.”—Truth.
“A deeply interesting volume. The story is a strangely
exciting one.”—Manchester Courier.

FALSE EVIDENCE.
A leading London playwright applied for permission to
dramatise this story, and the thrilling character of the plot

been called for.

THE PEER AND THE WOMAN.

A most exciting story, which is so thrilling that it is
impossible to lay down the book until finished. The
mystery thickens with each succeeding chapter, and it is
not until the very last that the clever plot is revealed.

[A] The Daily Chronicle has since investigated
this and conclusively proved it to be a fable. It
seems that human excellence still has altitudes to
scale.
[B] It should be noted that at the Oval it is
invariably “a crowd.” At Lord’s it is correct to say
“a company.”
[C] This incident of the toss seems so impossible
that in the nature of things it ought to be quite
true. As a matter of fact, it is quite true, having
actually come within the writer’s experience.
Artistically, though, the accident of its occurrence
makes it neither the more defensible nor the less
incredible. Art ought not to subscribe to the Press
Association.
