At a local pumpkin patch, Savannah is hired to create a Hallowe'en gourd launcher. Savannah wants to launch a 1.29 kg gourd (decorated as an "Angry Bird") at a large pumpkin (decorated as a "pig") which sits on top of a h = 1.77m tall hay bale as shown in the figure. Assume that the gourd undergoes projectile motion and that it hits the pumpkin ("pig") with a velocity of v = 5.04x + 0y m/s . (You may assume the initial height of where the gourd is launched from to be negligible.) What was the angle above the horizontal at which the gourd was launched?

A 68.5-kg astronaut is doing a repair in space on the orbiting space station. She throws a 2.25-kg tool away from her at 3.20(m)/(s) relative to the space station. With what speed and in what direction will she begin to move?
Three dimensions. Three point particles are fixed in place in an xyz coordinate system. Particle A, at the origin, has mass mA. Particle B, at xyz coordinates (2.00d, 3.00d, 4.00d), has mass 4.00mA, and particle C, at coordinates (–2.00d, 4.00d, –1.00d), has mass 4.00mA. A fourth particle D, with mass 2.00mA, is to be placed near the other particles. If distance d = 7.80 m, at what (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z coordinate should D be placed so that the net gravitational force on A from B, C, and D is zero?
Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims that it will maintain a constant thrust of 11.4 N11.4 N until the engine is used up. Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range‑finder to meaure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 12.4 m12.4 m . He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 16.9 m16.9 m . If the rocket has a mass of 0.763 kg0.763 kg , how much work is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?
A 3.5 kg rifle fires an 11 g bullet with a velocity of 575 m/s. (a) What is the recoil velocity of the rifle? (b) If the shooter holds the rifle firmly against his shoulder, what will be the recoil velocity? Assume the mass of the shooter is 45.0 kg. Perform the GRESA in solving.
A wheel consists of eight spokes and a rim. Each of the spokes has a mass of 0.40 kg and a length of 0.30 m, which is also the radius of the wheel. The rim is a thin ring with a mass of 1.0 kg. An arrow of mass (m) and velocity (v0) is shot into the wheel and gets stuck. The arrow hits the point where the angle (θ = 45). The wheel is at rest at the start and it rotates friction-free around the exhibition centre. Find the moment of inertia of the wheel. Find the spin of the system. What will be the angular velocity of the wheel when the arrow is stuck? How does the angular velocity change when the mass and velocity of the arrow change? Please answer clean and tidy in word format.
Maya is an astronaut, floating in space. Their rocket is powered by throwing rocks out of a hole in the back of a spaceship. The total inertia of Maya and their rocket is 368 kg. Maya also has two 25kg rocks on board. They are initially at rest. Maya throws the first rock, and then they are moving with a velocity of 15 m/s. Then Maya throws the second rock and they are now moving with a velocity of 39 m/s. What is the velocity of the first rock Maya threw moving through space? What is the velocity of the second?
When a basketball player takes a standing shot, a coordinate system Oxy is formed with the center of the ball as the origin (see figure). Denoting the center coordinate of the basket as (x, y), the shot's height as H₁, and the ball's speed as vo, prove that the shot angle a must satisfy the subsequent relationship to make a shot: tan α = v² gx 1 + 1 - (+2) 2g v² y то H₁ H₂
Hello, here is my question A projectile of mass m = 8.00 grams is fired horizontally at 135 m/s at a stationary target with mass M = 950 grams hanging vertically from a rigid, massless rod of length 25.0 cm. The projectile goes completely through the target and emerges with a horizontal speed of 75.0 m/s. (a) Find the speed of the target when the projectile first exits the target. (b) Find the maximum angle the rod makes with the vertical. (c) If the projectile took 2.00 milliseconds to pass through the target, what was the magnitude of the average contact force between the projectile and the target? Thank you!
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 124 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of m = 13.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at Vj = 1.20 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vpf of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? Ub.f = m/s

Three point particles are fixed in place in an xyz coordinate system. Particle A, at the origin, has mass mA. Particle B, at xyz coordinates (2.00d, 1.00d, 2.00d), has mass 2.00mA, and particle C, at coordinates (-1.00d, 2.00d, -3.00d), has mass 3.00mA. A fourth particle D, with mass 4.00mA, is to be placed near the other particles. In terms of distance d, at what (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z coordinate should D be placed so that the net gravitational force on Afrom B, C, and Dis zero?
A magician tosses a ball (m = 0.300 kg) with initial velocity v = 25.0 m/s at a15.0° angle from the horizontal. To ensure that he can follow the ball’s movement, he moves his right handvertically so that it is always at the same height as the ball. After 0.100 seconds, he casts a rubber-likeelastic string from his right hand to instantly grab onto the ball. The string immediately sticks to the balllike gum, but does not impart any momentum onto it. The string then behaves like a spring that is initiallyunstretched, pulling the ball back with a force constant of k = 4.40 × 10−3 N/m. How far from the magicianwill the ball land?
