A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A racing car is used to test its suspensions and brakes. in a manufacture process. Itis raced and jumped over a ramp. It flies and further on lands at a speed of 44.4m/s. It then slows down at a rate of 15m/s?. How much road is required to bring the car to a complete stop? The car lands 70 meters away from a nearby beach. Will the car run into water?

A MATH 151 student, standing on the ground, gets very frustrated and chunks a TI-84 calculator (that they aren't supposed to be using) upwards with a speed of 84 ft/s. How long after reaching it's maximum height, does it take for the calculator to fall to the ground? OA. none of the listed answers B. -21 seconds O seconds 110.25 seconds A seconds
The rocket sled starts from rest and accelerates at a = 30 + 2t m/s² until its velocity is 400 m/s. It then hits a water brake and its acceleration is a = -0.003v² m/s² until its velocity decreases to 100 m/s. What total distance sf does the sled travel?
Hi. I've tried looking for examples on-line and haven't been able to find any. Grateful for some help direction thanks.
Could someone please explain? Thank you.
23. A company estimates that the marginal cost (in dollars per item) of producing x items is 1.92 – 0.002.x. If the cost of producing one item is $562, find the cost of producing 100 items. 24. A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 22 ft/s². What is the distance traveled before the car comes to a stop? 25. A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. What constant deceleration is required to stop the car in time to avoid a pileup?
An Object is pushed on a flat surface with an initial velocity of 1.2 m/s and speeds up at a rate of 0.60 m/s^2. a) What is the object’s velocity at a distance of 5m? b) How long and how far will the object to attain a velocity of 10.0 m/s?
These are “plug-in-the-number” type activities to familiarize yon with the equations that link the concepts of physics. They are mainly one-step substitutions and are less challenging than the Problem. Calculate the acceleration of a car (in km/h·s) that can go from rest to 100 km/h in 10 s.
