An eagle dives toward the ground with a constant velocity of 4.70 m/s at 57.0° below the horizontal. The Sun is directly overhead and casts a shadow of the eagle directly below it. What is the speed (in m/s) of its shadow on level ground?

A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? Figure P3.16
A falcon dives toward the ground with a constant velocity of 4.75 m/s at 59.0° below the horizontal. The Sun is directly overhead and casts a shadow of the falcon directly below it. What is the speed (in m/s) of its shadow on level ground?
A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train travel- ing along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s. The student throws a ball into the air along a path that he judges to make an initial angle of 60.0° with the horizontal and to be in line with the track. The student’s professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. How high does she see the ball rise?

A 11 m tall streetlight is positioned 16 m away from a vertical wall. Timothy throws a tennis ball directly towards the wall with a speed of 16.6 m/s. Assuming that the ball travels on a perfectly horizontal path 1.5 m above the ground, at what rate is the shadow of the ball moving up the wall when it is 2 m from the wall?
In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. The top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. You have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. The ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. You throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground and at an angle of 48.0° above the horizontal. Part A What minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence? Express your answer with the appropriate units. % = 13.3 m S Submit Previous Answers ✓ Correct Part B For the initial velocity calculated in the previous part, what horizontal distance beyond the fence will the rock land on the ground? Express your answer with the appropriate units. d = μA Value m ?
A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
You are walking through your neighborhood and you see a boy on the roof of a building kicking a soccer ball. The soccer ball is kicked 41 ° from the edge of the building with an initial velocity of 13 m / s and lands 65 meters from the wall. How tall, in meters, is the building the child is standing on?
A ball is thrown vertically from the ground and 3 ft away from one side of the building at a rate of 52.1 ft/s. After 0.51second, a boy inside the building sees the ball passing thru the window, then reaches its maximum height, and finally fall back towards the ground. The boy’s eyes are aligned to the center of the window and his viewing angle equal to 60 degrees subtends the entire height of the window. Determine the height of the window. Draw free body diagram.
Suppose you adjust your garden hose nozzle for a fast stream of water. You point the nozzle vertically upward at a height of 1.8 mm above the ground. When you quickly turn off the nozzle, you hear the water striking the ground next to you for another 2.9 s. What is the water speed as it leaves the nozzle?
In tennis, one of the primary ways to win a point is by making the ball bounce twice on your opponent's side of the court. A tennis player hits a ball at a velocity of 50 m/s at a 0 degree angle from 1m high. When the ball bounces it reflects its velocity angle perfectly and loses 30% of its speed. How long does the other player have to return the ball before the second bounce?
3.48 The sphere of diameter D of Fig. P3.48 is traveling with a velocity V of 1.2 m/s in 20°C atmospheric air. If Re = VD/v is less than 4 × 10“, the boundary layer around the front of the sphere is completely laminar. Determine if the boundary layer is com- pletely laminar on a sphere of diameter: (a) 1 cm (b) 1m Boundary layer V Fig. P3.48
