1.) Jason Renie set a world record of 77.0 m for motorcycle jump. Assume that he left the take-off ramp at 12.0° to the horizontal and that the take- off and landing heights are the same. Determine his take-off speed (in m/s). 2.) A model of a helicopter rotor has four blades, each 3.40 m long from the central shaft to the blade tip. The model is rotated in a wind tunnel at 550 rev/min. What is the radial acceleration (in m/s²) of the blade tip? 3.) A tourist in Cebu dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap. What must her minimum horizontal speed (in m/s) be just as she leaves the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, which is 1.75 m wide and 9.00m below the top of the cliff? 4.) In a test of a "g-suit", a volunteer is rotated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.0 m. What must the period (in s) of rotation be so that the centripetal acceleration has a magnitude of 3.0g? Note: Use 9.8 m/s² for the value of g. 5.) A pool ball leaves a 0.60-meter-high table with an…

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?

4. A ball is projected with an initial upward velocity component of 80 ft/sec and a horizontal velocity component of 100 ft/sec. a) Find the position and velocity of the ball after 2sec, 3 sec and 6 sec. b) How long a time is required to reach the highest point of trajectory? c) How high is this point? d) How long a time is required for the ball to return to its original level? e) How far has it traveled horizontally during this tme. Show your results in a neat sketch to show all features cearly.
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.
