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.

Question

### Problem 6:

A volcano in Hawaii is erupting and spewing out rocks and debris at a speed of 880 feet per second at an angle of 60° from the horizontal, from a height of 4091 feet. Will a rock thrown from the volcano hit a cow half a mile away?

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram illustrates a volcano on the left side, from which a projectile (rock) is being ejected. The projectile follows a curved, parabolic path. On the right side of the diagram, there is a drawing of a cow positioned where the rock might potentially land. The cow is depicted in a humorous manner at a distance that represents half a mile from the volcano.

The problem involves analyzing the trajectory of the rock to determine if it will reach the cow's position. This requires understanding the concepts of projectile motion, including initial speed, launch angle, and the effects of gravity on the rock's path.

Pool players often pride themselves on their ability to impart a large speed to a pool ball. In the sport of billiards, event organizers often remove one of the rails on a pool table to allow players to measure the speed of their break shots (the opening shot of a game in which the player strikes a ball with his pool cue). With the rail removed, a ball can fly off the table, as shown in the figure. h d The surface of the pool table is h = 0.750 m from the floor. The winner of the competition wants to know if he has broken the world speed record for the break shot of 32 mph (about 14.3 m/s). If the winner's ball landed a distance of d = 5.15 m from the table's edge, calculate the speed of his break shot vo. Assume friction is negligible. m/s
