2. A newspaper boy throws papers sideways onto the porches of his customers while riding hisbicycle along the sidewalk. The sidewalk is 15 m in front of the porches. The boy throws thepapers at the horizontal speed of 6.0 m/s relative to himself, and rides the bieycie at a speed of4.0 m/s relative to the sidewalk.(a) With what horizontal speed do the papers actually travel relative to the ground?(b) How far in advance of a porch should the boy throw a paper, so that it lands on target?(c) If he waits until he is directly opposite a porch, at what horizontal angle with respect to thesidewalk will he have to throw the paper, to hit the porch?

A person stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a pebble horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 20.0 m/s. The pebble leaves his hand at a height of h = 52.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the pebble leaves the hand.
A person throws a ball with speed 102 m/s at a 45° angle. How many seconds faster would the ball arrive if the person threw the ball at the same speed and the same distance but made the trip in two identical bumps. Assume that there is no loss of speed at the bounce. Hint: Use R = v2/g * sin(2θ) and t=2*vy(sinθ)/g.
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 20.5 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.351 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 33.2 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.
On planet #3, you fire a projectile horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff 76.0 m above the ground, with an initial speed of 31.2 m/s. The projectile lands 71.5 m away from the base of the cliff. What is the value of g for planet #3? 848.50 m/s^2 28.94 m/s^2 14.47 m/s^2 12.05 m/s^2
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 17.0 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.291 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 54.3 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.
(Two-Dimensional Motion) A missile is launched from a fighter jet cruising horizontally at a speed of 280 m/s, at an altitude of 1800 m. The initial velocity of the missile relative to the fighter jet is 160 m/s, in the forward direction. The missile is powered by its own engine, which provides it with a constant, horizontal acceleration of a = g/3 (g = 9.80 m/s2). The vertical motion of the missile, however, is a free fall (as we neglect the effect of air friction). (a) What is the initial velocity of the missile relative to the ground? (b) How long does it take for the missile to reach the ground? (c) If the missile hits a target on the ground, how far ahead of the plane horizontally was the target when the missile was launched. (d) What is the speed of the missile just before hitting the target? (e) What angle does the velocity of the missile make with the ground just before it hits the target?
At a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 50.3 m above a horizontal field and descending at a rate of 3.5 m/s. At this instant, a girl throws a ball horizontally (relative to herself) with an a speed of 12.3 m/s. When the balloon lands on the ground, how far is she from where the ball landed? Express your answer in meters and neglect air resistance.
A woman stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 21.5 m/s. The stone leaves her hand at a height of h = 57.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the stone leaves the hand. Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. Use the following as necessary: t. Assume that x and y are in meters and t is in seconds.
You are to throw a ball with a speed of 13.4 m/s at a target that is height h = 3.50 m above the level at which you release the ball (see the figure). You want the ball's velocity to be horizontal at the instant it reaches the target. (a) At what angle θ above the horizontal must you throw the ball? (b) What is the horizontal distance from the release point to the target? (c) What is the speed of the ball just as it reaches the target?
