: A farm truck travels due east with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s along a horizontal road. A boy riding in the back of the truck tosses a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.40) and Figure P3.40 catches it at the same loca- tion in the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. Ignore any effects of air resis- tance. (a) At what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can, relative to the moving truck? (b) What is the can's ini- tial speed relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the can's trajectory as seen by the boy? (d) What is the shape of the can's trajectory as seen by a stationary observer on the ground? (e) What is the initial velocity of the can, relative to the stationary observer?

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park.Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.70). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wideenough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
An airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of ℎ=145 m as shown in the figure. If the ball lands on the ground a horizontal distance equal to the height ℎ from the release point, calculate the speed ? of the plane. Neglect any effects due to air resistance, and use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edgewith a speed of 18.0 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown inFigure P3.7. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? (b) Whatare the components of the initial velocity? (c) Write the equations for the x- and ycomponents of the velocity of the stone with time, (d) Write the equations for theposition of the stone with time, using the coordinates in Figure P3.7. (e) How longafter being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) With whatspeed and angle of impact does the stone land?
A rescue plane flying horizontally at 252 km/hr in still air spots a survivor in the ocean 180 m directly belowwhen it releases an emergency kit. Air resistance slows the descent such that the kit falls with a constant verticalacceleration of 6.00 m/s2 downward. Due to the shape of the kit, air resistance in the horizontal direction isnegligible. How far from the survivor does the kit land in the water?
A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.59 m/s at an angle of 77.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.80 m above the table?

A student standing on a cliff throws a pebble from a vertical height of d = 8.0 m above the level ground with velocity vo = 19 m/s at an angle = 23° below the horizontal, as shown. It moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the nebble.

Part (b) If the pebble had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different?

When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce, on the theory that the ball arrives at its target sooner that way. Suppose that, after the bounce, the ball rebounds at the same angle θ that it had when it was released (as in Fig. P3.64), but loses half its speed. (a) Assuming that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle θ should the ball be thrown in order to go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upward at 45.0° with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the times for the one-bounce and no-bounce throws.
