Suppose a Chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.45 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.12 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory. Vox = m/s Voy = m/s Can the fish make this jump? (Remember that a Chinook salmon can jump out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s.) O Yes O No
A diver runs off a platform with an initial horizontal velocity of 1.16 m/s in the positive x-direction. The platform is at a vertical height of 8.90 m above the water. How much time is the diver in the air before he strikes the water? O 1.77 s O 1.83 s O 3.21 s O 2.49 s O 1.35 s O 2.99 s
A ball is launched vertically upward from ground level at 15.0 m/s. What is its height when its speed is 5.0 m/s? O 10.2 m the ball never has a speed of 5.0 m/s 26.8 m 4.85 m 14.1 m
Mt. Asama, Japan, is an active volcano complex. In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed far from the crater. Suppose that one such rock was launched at an angle of θ = 57.6 degrees above horizontal, and landed a horizontal distance d = 880 m from the crater, and a vertical distance h = 940 m below the crater. a) what is the initial speed of the rock in m/s? b) how long in secs was the rock in the air?
A ping pong ball rolls at a speed of 0.60 m/s toward the edge of a table which is 0.80 m high. The ball rolls off the table. a) How long is the ball in the air? b) How far out from the point directly below the edge of the tabletop does the ball hit the floor?
A plane needs to drop supplies off to victims of natural disasters around the world. The first stop is for flood victims but they must drop the box so it lands perfectly on a target.
