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. P3.54). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedes- trian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model Figure P3.54 to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

While traversing a two-lane highway, the driver observes a girl, 60 m ahead, at the edge of the traveled way of the opposite direction about to cross the road. The lane width of the traveled way is 3.5 m. The vehicle is 2 m wide and 3 m long. The speed of the vehicle is 75 kph and the walking speed of the girl is 1.5 m/s. The vehicle is traveling along the centerline of the traveled way. Asssume that the driver's PR time is 0.8 sec and the coefficient of friction between the vehicle tires and the pavement is 0.4. a. If the roadway is level, will the girl be able to corss the road safely? b. If the roadway has down grade of 0.5%, what is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement required so that the driver won't hit the girl? c. Using the original coefficient of friction between vehicle tires and the pavement, at what roadway grade is the vehicle traversing such that the vehicle was just able to stop without hitting the girl?

Some cats can be trained to jump from one location to another and perform other tricks. Kit the cat is going to jump through a hoop. He begins on a wicker cabinet at a height of 1.722 m above the floor and jumps through the center of a vertical hoop, reaching a peak height 3.130 m above the floor. (Assume the center of the hoop is at the peak height of the jump. Assume that +xaxis is in the direction of the hoop from the cabinet and +y axis is up. Assume g = 9.81 m/s2.) (a) With what initial velocity did Kit leave the cabinet if the hoop is at a horizontal distance of 1.550 m from the cabinet? (Express your answer in vector form. Give your answer to at least two decimal places for each vector component.) v0 =?m/s (b) If Kit lands on a bed at a horizontal distance of 3.580 m from the cabinet, how high above the ground is the bed?In m
A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 95 mph at angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them. If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical speed)?

A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 20.3 mm above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.6 mm above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 57.0 mm wide. For help with math skills, you may want to review: Vector Magnitudes For general problem-solving tips and strategies for this topic, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Different initial and final heights. a. How fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order to just clear the river and land safely on the opposite side? Express your answer in meters per second. b. What is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side? Express your answer in meters per second.

In my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0. The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ. Any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this problem for quite a while and I am not making progress.
