Particles 1 and 2 of equal mass are thrown vertically upwards at the same initial velocity vo in a constant gravitational field. Particle 1 is under a negligible air resistance fr = 0 while Particle 2 experiences a resistance of the form fr = mov, where m is the particle's mass, a is a positive constant, and v is the particle's velocity at any point in time. Show that the ratio (t2/t1) of the times required for the particles to reach maximum height is given by t2 = 1- avo + O 2g avo ti 2g where O denotes higher order terms. In the limit a → 0, your result for t2 must approach t1.

A particle is subject to uniform gravity and the linear resistance force -mKv, where K is a positive constant and v is the velocity of the body. Initially the particle is projected with speed u in a direction making an angle a with the horizontal. Which of the following is TRUE about the subsequent motion? O It has a vertical asymptote at x = u u cos(a/K) O It has a vertical asymptote at x = (u/K) cos a. O When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is (2u/g) sin(2a). O When u.K/g is small, the range is (u²/g) sin(2a). When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is 2u sin(a/g).
A 0.26-kg rock is thrown vertically upward from the top of a cliff that is 31m high. When it hits the ground at the base of the cliff, the rock has a speed of 33 m/s.A) Assuming that air resistance can be ignored, find the initial speed of the rock. Answer is 22 m/sB)Find the greatest height of the rock as measured from the base of the cliff.

A ball is thrown straight up in the air with an initial speed of 10 m/s. Ignore air resistance and take g = 10m/s2. What is the speed of the ball when it reach 5 m above the ground? O m/s 5 m/s 5/2 m/s 10 m/s 10/2 m/s
A 60 kg skydiver falls, beginning at rest. This isn't an ordinary skydive though, because it's taking place on an alien planet where g = 8 m/s2. The drag force on the skydiver is given by FD = -0.14 v (N). Calculate the speed of the skydiver after they have fallen for 322 s, in m/s. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
As you drive your car along a country road at night, a deer jumps out of the woods and stands in the middle of the road ahead of you. This occurs just as you are passing from a 55-mi/h zone to a 50-mi/h zone. At the 50-mi/h speed-limit sign, you slam on the car’s brakes, causing them to lock up, and skid to a stop inches from the startled deer. As you breathe a sigh of relief, you hear the sound of a police siren. The policeman proceeds to write you a ticket for driving 56 mi/h in 50-mi/h zone. Because of your preparation in physics, you are able to use the 25-m-long skid marks that your car left behind as evidence that you were not speeding. What evidence do you present? You must use work/energy methods to solve this problem!The coefficientsof friction between car tires and dry concrete are (s=1.0, k=0.80).

You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building. Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 23.90⁢ m/s2 or travel faster than 19.3 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? minimum travel time: ?
A pilot flew his single-engine airplane 60 miles with the wind from City A to above City B. He then turned around and flew back to City A against the wind. If the wind was a constant 20 miles per hour, and the total time going and returning was 1.3 hours, find the speed of the plane in still air.
