Here you are designing a motorcycle stunt where the motorcycle leaves a ramp at an angle θ and lands on another ramp of the same height. You need to know where to place the second ramp. You will make a mathema1cal model to predict the range (i.e., to predict how far the motorcycle will land from the first ramp).
An ant undergoes three successive displacements: ?⃗1=3.00 m,20.0 degrees south of east ?⃗2=2.00 m,north ?⃗3=7.00 m,35.0 degrees west of south a) Carefully sketch and label the three displacements with their tails at the origin. Use a coordinate system in which the positive x-axis is east and the positive y-axis is north. b) Calculate the x-and y-components of each of the displacements. c) Use the results of part b) to calculate the distance between where the ant begins and where it ends. d) What fourth displacement (magnitude and direction) is necessary to return the ant to its initial position?
In the homecoming game, the field goal kicker attempts to make a 47 yard (43 m) field goal. He kicks with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 60° The field goal posts are 3 m high. Does he make the field goal? Explain your answer. Edit View Insert Format Tools Table 12pt v Paragraph v |BIU
A rock was thrown horizontally from a 100.0 m high cliff. It strikes the ground 90.0 m from the base of the cliff. a) At what speed was it thrown? b) How long did it take to hit the ground. c) Neglecting wind resistance, which component of velocity is affected by gravity VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL? d) Sketch the trajectory of the rock as it falls to the ground and include the velocity vector at the beginning, midway down, and just before striking the ground. e) After you determine the total time in the air, you can then determine the final vertical velocity vector combined with the horizontal velocity determined earlier. Use these vectors to determine the resultant velocity vector just before landing. Recall using Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the velocity vector and trigonometry for the angle below the horizontal that the resultant vector strikes at.
