40. II A test rocket is launched by accelerating it along a 200.0-m incline at 1.25 m/s² starting from rest at point A (Figure 3.380). The incline rises at 35.0° above the horizontal, and at the instant the rocket leaves it, its engines turn off and it is subject only to gravity (air resistance can be ignored). Find (a) the maximum height above the ground that the rocket reaches, and (b) the greatest horizontal range of the rocket beyond point A. Figure 3.38 200.0 m 35.0°

A World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain with a speed of 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 3.00 km. The bombardier releases one bomb. (a) How far does the bomb travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance. (b) The pilot maintains the planes original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane when the bomb hits the ground? (c) The bomb hits the target seen in the telescopic bombsight at the moment of the bombs release. At what angle from the vertical was the bombsight set?
A newly established colony on the Moon launches a capsule vertically with an initial speed of 1.50 km/s. Ignoring the rotation of the Moon, what is the maximum height reached by the capsule?
(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)

While strolling downtown on a Saturday Afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.
A particle moves along a path, and its speed increases with time. (i) In which of the following cases are its acceleration and velocity vectors parallel? (a) when the path is circular. (b) when the path is straight. (c) when the path is a parabola. (d) never. (ii) From the same choices, in which case are its acceleration and velocity vectors perpendicular everywhere along the path?
A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity vi=(4.00i+1.00j)m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is ri=(10.0i4.00j)m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20.0 s, its velocity is v=(20.0i5.00j)m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish? (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector i? (c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t = 25.0 s and in what direction is it moving?
