(28) In 2010, an advertisement for a particular sports car had the for- mer Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher perform a stunt with the car. Driving into a tunnel, Schumacher spiraled around its inner surface before driving out of the tunnel, once again at ground level. What should the minimum speed of the car be to safely per- form this stunt, if the 100-m-long tunnel is 6 m in diameter, and Schumacher is seen exiting the tunnel two seconds after the start of the stunt? What is the next higher safe speed? Can any speed higher than the minimum lead to a safe stunt?

!, Suppose that a young Peter Parker wanted to clear a cubic building that is 30 x 30 x 30 m when he is exactly 30 m away from the closer side. What is the minimum speed that he must jump at (if he can launch at a 60 degree angle above the horizontal) in order to just barely clear the building?
The amusement ride shown is initially travelling on a circular path in a horizontal plane about O with v = 5 ê ft/s and r = 30 ft. The length of the cable is then decreased by a constant rate of 2 ft/s. Determine the speed of the cart after 3 seconds.
You are on a planet that has an acceleration due to gravity of g = 7.0 m/s? and want to jump safely into the methane lakes below after leaping from a 11.2 meter high-cliff. If there is a ledge right at the bottom of this cliff that you want to avoid, so as to land safely in the liquid methane, that is 1.13 m wide, and assuming your initial velocity is directed entirely along the x-axis, how fast (in m/s) do you need to be running in order to land in the liquid methane?

A golf ball is hit from the edge of a small cliff in such a way that it goes through a basketball hoop as shown in the figure below. The golf ball is launched with an initial speed v, = 10 m/s at an angle 0 such that cos(8) = 3/5 and sin(8) = 4/5. The basketball hoop is at the same height as the small cliff, which is equal to H = 12 m, and you may approximate the acceleration due to gravity as g = 10 m/s². H
A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150m with a maximum speed of 32.0 m/s. With what maximum speed can it go around a curve having a radius of 75.0 m?
The banded archerfish is a species of fish that lives in mangrove estuaries in Asia and Oceania. It has a unique and highly effective hunting strategy: it shoots an incredibly precise stream of water out of its mouth at almost ten meters per second, knocking insects and other small animals into the water from nearby branches! Pom Fbug (t) Ө = Our hero, a hungry archerfish, has spotted a big, delicious bug sitting on a branch a height ħ above the surface of the water. The archerfish can shoot its water jet at a speed of vo. The archerfish wants to knock the bug sideways off of the branch, so it decides to shoot so that its water jet is moving horizontally at the moment when it strikes the bug. The final goal of this problem is to find the horizontal distance, d, from the branch, and the angle above horizontal, 0, at which archerfish should shoot. d (a) What are the position and velocity of the water droplet as a function of time and the position and velocity of the bug as a function of…
A particle travels around a circular path having a radius of 50 m. If it is initiallytraveling with a speed of 10 m/s and its speed then increases at a rate of a (v) = (0.05v) m/s 2 , thendetermine the magnitude of the particle’s acceleration four seconds later.
A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has an 8.00-m radius, at how many revolutions per minute are the riders subjected to a centripetal acceleration equal to that of gravity?
Suppose you are an intrepid interplanetary explorer and you've landed on the remote planet, Gorzag. Your task is to determine the free-fall acceleration on the surface of Gorzag, which has no atmosphere. All you have is a space rock, a stop watch, and a laser range finder (a tool to measure distance). You find a nearby cliff and make the following measurements: the height of the cliff is 55m, and when you drop the rock off the cliff it takes 40s for the rock to hit the ground below. Show your work.
A projectile is fired from a point 50 meter from a tall cliff at 75 m/sec and at angle of 50 degrees above the horizontal. It will strike the cliff at a point h above the cliff base. What is h? What is the final speed of the projectile when it hits the cliff in the problem above?
A roadrunner is cruising at 11 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 30 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away. If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, how far horizontally from the cliff will it hit the valley (flat) below?
