Archerfish are one of the few fish that prey on land insects and other small animals. They do this by shooting a jet of water from their specialized mouths at an insect resting on a leaf or plant stem above the water (see photo). This often stuns the insect, causing it to fall into the water, where it can be eaten. In the drawing, an archerfish is shooting water toward an unsuspecting horsefly at rest on a blade of marsh grass above the surface of a pond. Use the information in the drawing to calculate how high (h) the horsefly is above the water. The initial velocity of the water (vo) is 3.2 m/s, and assume that the projected water reaches its maximum height above the pond's surface when it strikes the horsefly.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Question

Archerfish are one of the few fish that prey on land insects and other small animals. They do this by shooting a jet of water from their
specialized mouths at an insect resting on a leaf or plant stem above the water (see photo). This often stuns the insect, causing it to fall
into the water, where it can be eaten. In the drawing, an archerfish is shooting water toward an unsuspecting horsefly at rest on a blade
of marsh grass above the surface of a pond. Use the information in the drawing to calculate how high (h) the horsefly is above the
water. The initial velocity of the water (vo) is 3.2 m/s, and assume that the projected water reaches its maximum height above the
pond's surface when it strikes the horsefly.

Water leaves a fireman’s hose (held near the ground) with an initial velocity v0 = 23 m/s at an angle θ = 33° above horizontal. Assume the water acts as a projectile that moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the hose nozzle position, as shown. At what horizontal distance d from the building base, where should the fireman place the hose for the water to reach its maximum height as it strikes the building? Express this distance, d, in terms of v0, θ, and g.
An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 4.5 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bushes 82.5 m away attempting to subdue the monkey with a tranquilizer gun. The vet knows that the moment the gun fires, the monkey will be frightened and fall down from the branch. At what angle up from the ground must the veterinarian aim the gun so that the tranquilizer dart will hit the falling monkey? angle: ∘ Given the angle, what is minimum speed at which the tranquilizer dart must leave the gun to still hit the monkey? minimum speed: m/s

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 17.0 m/s. The cliff is h = 47.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. A student stands on the edge of a cliff with his hand a height h above a flat stretch of ground below the clifftop. The +x-axis extends to the right along the ground and the +y-axis extends up from the ground to the top of the cliff. The origin O of the coordinate plane is directly below the student's hand where the base of the cliff meets the flat ground. The student throws a stone horizontally rightward with initial velocity vector v0. The stone falls with a parabolic trajectory, hitting the ground with a velocity vector v that points down and right. Vector g points straight down. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? x0 = m y0 = m (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? v0x = m/s v0y = m/s (c) Write the equations for the x-…

Danielle launches a ball off of a platform of height h with velocity vo at an angle 0 above the horizontal. A wall with a ball-sized hole a height H above the floor, with H > h, is a horizontal distance L = 24.0 m away from Danielle.

H 1 H – h = h 3 L Determine the two values of 0 that ensure the ball passes through the hole. Submit the larger angle as 0, and the smaller angle as 02.
A boat is docked on the southern shore of a swiftly moving river that is 262.0 m wide. The river flows from east to west with a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the shore. There is a dock located upstream on the northern side of the river at an angle of 57.0∘57.0∘ relative to the shore (i.e. north of east). The boat is able to travel at a speed of 6.50 m/s relative to the water. If the boat travels directly to the dock on the northern shore at a constant speed, how long does it take to get there?
