A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

Try the following experiment away from traffic: where you can do it Safely. With the car VOU are driving moving slowly on a Straight, level road, shift the transmission into neutral and let the car coast. At the moment the car comes to a complete slop, step hard on the ln.ike and notice what you feel. Now repeal I he same experiment on a fairly gentle, uphill slope. Explain the difference in what a pet son tiding in the car feels in the two cases. (Brian Popp suggested the idea for this question.)
Towns A and B in Figure P4.64 are 80.0 km apart. A couple arranges to drive from town A and meet a couple driving from town B at the lake, L. The two couples leave simultaneously and drive for 2.50 h in the directions shown. Car 1 has a speed of 90.0 km/h. If the cars arrive simultaneously at the lake, what is the speed of car 2?
In Bosnia, the ultimate test of a young nuns courage used to be to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in 1993; rebuilt in 2004) into the River Neretva, 23 m below the bridge. (a) How long did the jump last? (b) How fan was the jumper traveling upon impact with the river? (c) If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how long after the jumper took off did a spectator on the bridge hear the splash?
A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.5(H) m/s2 while moving down an inclined plane 9.00 m long. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where it comes to rest after moving 15.0 m on that plane. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane? (b) During what lime interval does the ball roll down the first plane? (c) What is the acceleration along the second plane? (d) What is the balls speed 8.00 m along the second plane?

Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effect of extreme acceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating form rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s and was brought jarringly back to rest an only 1.40 s. Calculate his (a) acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g(9.80m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.
