A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.85 m high 29.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 18.2 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.

You need to get into your fourth-floor apartment, but you have forgotten your key to the main ground floor door of the building. You call up to your lazy roommate to come down and let you in, but he says he will throw the keys down to you instead. The window that he throws the keys out of is 13 meters above the ground, and he chucks them with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal. The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s?. How far back from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys?
If the car's speed were not reduced by any structural effects or by friction, how long would it take to complete the race? What is the speed of the car at the end of the race?
Let us consider the fall of a pole vaulter as a projectile once he releases the pole. The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees. Enter the horizontal distance that the athlete will travel with the indicated conditions, add the units in the result
An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target. If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall? Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s: V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)

Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
The act of bowling a ball can be rather involved, but in its simplest form the bowler swings her arm in a roughly circular arc, releasing the ball just a moment after it passes through the bottom of the arc. By the time the ball is at the bottom of the arc, its speed is not changing anymore. A decent bowler can make the ball travel the length of the 60-ft alley in about 2.1 s. Ignore the (small) friction between the ball and the lane, so the ball travels at constant speed, once released. Calculate the speed of the ball moving across the alley when the bowler releases it? Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. In what direction is the ball accelerating when it’s at the bottom of the swing and the bowler has not yet released it? If the bowler has 2-ft-long arms, estimate the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. Estimate the total force on the 14-lb ball. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. Estimate…

You are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding an island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 105 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct…

The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him to move quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0° the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.45 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is 2.10 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he does.) 15.0 m/s 2.10 m 50.0 10.0 m Number i Units
Hank throws the ball with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle which is 35 degrees up from north. He releases the ball from a height of 1.6 m above the field. There is a wind moving to the west at 4.6 m/s. What is the final speed of the ball when it lands?
