3. 15. A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 6.6 m/s, directed at an angle of 58° above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.2 m above the ground. Let the x axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. (a) How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches? (b) When the skateboarder reaches the highest point, how far is this point horizontally from the end of the ramp?
The LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) radio navigation system was widely used until the 1990s when it was superseded by the GPS system. In the LORAN system, two radio stations located at A and B transmit simultaneous signals to a ship or an aircraft located at P. The onboard computer converts the time difference in receiving these signals into a distance difference |PA| = |PB|, and this, according to the definition of a hyperbola, locates the ship or aircraft on one branch of a hyperbola (see the figure). coastline 430 mi transmitting stations P B Suppose that station B is located 430 mi due east of station A on a coastline. A ship received the signal from B 1,200 microseconds (us) before it received the signal from A. (a) Assuming that radio signals travel at a speed of 980 ft/µs, find an equation of the hyperbola on which the ship lies. (Use x as the axis along the coastline, and center your coordinate system between A and B. Values should be in miles.) (b) If the ship is due north of B,…
The citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) km
Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle ? with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(?)) and y = h + (v0 sin ?)t - 16t2.Let h=6, v0=63.25, and ?=0.79. What is the range of the projectile (i.e., how far does it travel? Round your answers to two decimal places).
Oasis B is 10 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 23 km in a direction 15.0° south of east and thenwalks 33 km due north. If it is to then walk directly to B, (a) how far and (b) in what direction (relative to the positive x-axis within the range (-180°, 180°]) should it walk?
A plane is moving horizontally at a constant speed of 1000 kilometers/hour and at a fixed height of 450 meters. The pilot then spotted the target below, and then launch a missile to hit a target on the ground. The question is (assuming that the target is exactly 450 meters below the plane), what is the angle that is needed for the missile to hit the target and the speed of the missile when it barely touches the target?
A secret agent skis off a slope inclined at θ = 31.5 degrees below horizontal at a speed of v0 = 14.7 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the other side of the gorge is h = 18.4 m below the edge of the upper slope. What is the maximum width, w, of the gorge (in meters) so that the agent clears it?
Determine the vector magnitudes and directions for the relative velocities VA/B and VB/A, given these magnitudes and directions for the vectors VA and VB:(a) VA: magnitude 70km/h ; direction 30°VB: magnitude 50km/h ; direction 125° (b)VA: magnitude 70km/h ; direction 30°VB: magnitude 50km/h ; direction 225° (c) VA: magnitude 70km/h ; direction 30°VB: magnitude 50km/h ; direction 340° (d)VA: magnitude 70km/h ; direction 135°VB: magnitude 50km/h ; direction 60°NOTE: The direction is the angle (degrees) from the positive horizontal axes in an anticlockwise direction.
(a) You are standing on one side of a river and a tree is directly across from you. You then walk adistance d along the river and determine that now the tree is at an angle θ. How wide is the river?A plane travels north at speed v0 for a time t0 and then travels east at 12v0 for a time 3t0. (b) How farto the north did the plane travel? How far to the east? (c) What is the total distance the plane is awayfrom its initial position?
Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles 30° and 60° with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure. The speed of A is 100/3 m/s. At time t = Os , an observer in y – axis finds B at a distance of 500 m .This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A If at t = to , A just escapes being hit by B , to in seconds is, B -30°
the muzzle velocity of a new cannon. It was 289 m/s. Now the cannon is deployed and the military engineers have determined the walls of the fort are 1609 meters away. If the artillery crew aims for 1611 m, the cannonball should hit the center of the wall. At what angle should the artillery crew fire the cannon to hit the walls? (Ignore the height of the cannon and assume the cannonball is fired from ground level. Also, you will need 2sinθcosθ = sin(2θ).)[Using the range equation is UNACCEPTABLE. You must solve the problem from scratch showing all of your work along the way.]
Oasis B is 8.0 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 20 km in a direction 15.0° south of east and thenwalks 31 km due north. If it is to then walk directly to B, (a) how far and (b) in what direction (relative to the positive x-axis within the range (-180°, 180°]) should it walk?
