**Transcription for Educational Website:**---**Question 2:**In Figure 2, someone is throwing a rock off a cliff. Suppose that this person wants the rock to hit the plain without hitting the dam or lake. To accomplish this, what is the minimum speed with which she must throw the rock? How far from the dam does the rock land?---**Figure 2 Explanation:**The diagram depicts a scenario where a person is standing on a cliff that is 20.0 meters high and is throwing a rock horizontally. The rock's initial velocity is shown as \( v_0 \). Below the cliff, there is a lake with a horizontal distance of 100.0 meters to the opposite shore, where there is a dam. The dam is followed by a plain, which is 25.0 meters below the top of the dam.- **Cliff Height:** 20.0 meters- **Lake Width:** 100.0 meters- **Dam Height above Plain:** 25.0 metersThe objective is for the rock to clear the dam and the lake, eventually landing on the plain. The aim is to find the necessary initial speed (\( v_0 \)) for this to happen and to determine how far beyond the dam the rock lands.---

Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

You built a pinball machine that has a banked circular track with radius 0.34 m. The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game. You fire pin balls at a constant speed into the track and adjust the banking angle until it works. The banking angle is 21 degrees. Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s? Hint: I have a video on this problem about swing pendulum but the results are very similar, except a string length was given instead of path radius and tension was present instead of normal force. Assume friction is negligible.
