A 0.500-kg potato is fired at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal from a PVC pipe used as a “potato gun” and reaches a height of 110.0 m. (a) Neglecting air resistance, calculate the potato’s velocity when it leaves the gun. (b) The gun itself is a tube 0.450 m long. Calculate the average acceleration of the potato in the tube as it goes from zero to the velocity found in (a). (c) What is the average force on the potato in the gun? Express your answer in newtons and as a ratio to the weight of the potato.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

A very bored 318 kg bear decides to jump across a stream. The stream is 6 m wide and the east bank of the stream is 1m higher than the west bank (where the bear starts). The bear can jump with an initial velocity vi = (4m/s, 4m/s , and decides to start from 3m in the air, halfway up a sturdy tree. If the origin is at the bear's foot (up in the tree), write an equation describing the coordinate of the bear while it is in the air. Use the following table as a reference. Note that it may not be necessary to use every variable.
