On your way back from the lake, you’re worst friend is driving and trying to post some stupid selfies toInstagram. Just then, you look up to see a train approaching the crossing near the Roadhouse Grilltravelling at 30 m/s, 60 m from the train crossing.

Check Your Understanding If the two golf shots in Example 4.9 were bunched at the same speed, which shot would have the greatest range? When we speak of the range of a projectile on level ground, we assume R is very small compared with the circumference of Earth. If, however, the range is large, Earth curves away below the projectile and the acceleration resulting from gravity changes direction along the path. The range is larger than predicted by the range equation given earlier because the projectile has father to fail than it would on level ground, as shown in Figure 4.17, which is based on a drawing in Newton's Principia. If the initial speed is great enough, the projectile goes into orbit. Earth's surface drops every 8000 m. In 1 s an object falls 5 m without a resistance. Thus, if an object is given a horizontal velocity of 8000 m/s (or 18,000 mi/hr) near Earth's surface, it will go into orbit around the planet because, the surface continuously falls away from object Thu is…
