Problem 2: You are firing a cannon from the back of a train. The train isheading due east at a speed of 20 m/s. Your cannon is pointed north at anangle of 30° above the horizontal and fires with a muzzle velocity of 30m/s.There is also a wind blowing directly from the north-east (so it is pushing inthe south-west direction) which gives a total acceleration of 0.5 m/s?. If youfire your cannon, determine where the cannonball will land in relation to thelocation you initially fired from.EXTRA CREDIT: Determine where the cannonball will land in relation to thelocation that you are when it lands (you are on a moving train, so the placeyou are located when the cannonball lands will be different than where youwere when you fired it).

A sailboat moving in the direction shown is tacking to windward against a north wind. The log registers a hull speed of 6.7 knots. A "telltale" (light string tied to the rigging) indicates that the direction of the apparent wind is 33° from the centerline of the boat. What is the true wind velocity vw? 6.7 knots 430 330 Vw knots Answer: vw = i
An industrious chipmunk creates an acorn catapult. This acorn catapult fires a 0.00543 kg acorn at an initial speed of 21.8 m/s. The catapult can be moved to any horizontal distance from the target and it can be set to shoot the acorn at any angle between 14° and 86.6°. The chipmunk will adjust the distance and angle until he gets a shot just right, and he deems a shot to be successful when the target is hit at the moment the acorn reaches its apex d) If the acorn hits the target and bounces back, losing 24.2% of its speed in the collision, what is the magnitude of the change in the acorn's momentum from immediately before the collision to immediately after the collision? e) If the duration of the collision described in part D is 3.01 x 10^-5 s, what is the magnitude of the average force the acorn imparts onto the target?
Two friends are playing catch, indoors, with a baseball, where the ceiling height is 6.15mm. The first friend releases the ball at a height of 3.15mm with a velocity of 21.8m/sm/s, and the second friend catches it at the same height. Neglect the diameter of the baseball. What is the maximum vertical component of the velocity, in meters per second, such that the baseball does not hit the ceiling?
A baseball is thrown from an outfielder to the second baseman on a level field. The ball is in the air for a time At = 3.50 s and travels a horizontal distance of 92.0 m %3D before being caught at the same height it was thrown from. Ignore air resistance. a) What are the x- and y-components of the ball's initial velocity? b) What is the maximum height of the ball? c) When is the ball traveling at an angle of 0 = -26.0°?
For a forensics experiment, a student decides to measure the muzzle velocity of the pellets from his BB gun. She points the gun horizontally. On a vertical wall a distance 47.3 m away from the gun, a target is placed. The shots hit the target a vertical distance 0.10 m below the gun's barrel. What is the initial speed of the pellets?

A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 650 m/s. The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's- eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.029 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's-eye? Number i eTextbook and Media Units #
Problem 7: During a baseball game, a baseball is struck at ground level by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial speed v0 = 36 m/s at an angle θ = 18° above horizontal. Let the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system be the ball's position the instant it leaves the bat. Air resistance may be ignored throughout this problem. a) Express the magnitude of the ball’s initial horizontal velocity v0x in terms of v0 and θ. b) Express the magnitude of the ball’s initial vertical velocity v0y in terms of v0 and θ. c) Find the ball’s maximum vertical height hmax in meters above the ground. d) Enter an expression in terms of v0, θ, and g for the time tmax it takes the ball to travel to its maximum vertical height. e) Calculate the horizontal distance xmax in meters that the ball has traveled when it returns to ground level.
Water in a river flows with a component downstream (x-direction) of 6 m/s and a component across the stream (y-direction) of 4 m/s. A boat is attempting to cross the river. The velocity of the boat relative to the water is 20 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees with respect to the x-axis. Determine the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.
SITUATION 9. A small projectile is fired vertically downward into a fluid medium with an initial velocity of 60m/s. Due to the drag resistance of the fluid the projectile experiences a deceleration of a = -0.4v³m/s², where v is in m/s. Determine the projectile's velocity and position 4 s after it is fired.
The drawing shows an exaggerated view of a rifle that has been 'sighted in' for a 91.4-meter target. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is Vo = 309 m/s, there are the two possible angles 0₁ and 02 between the rifle barrel and the horizontal such that the bullet will hit the target. One of these angles is so large that it is never used in target shooting. Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identity may be useful: 2 sine cose = sin 20.) (a) Number (b) Number Units Units 91.4 m O
Kilauea is a current active Hawaii volcano. Recently she ejected large red-hot rocks some the size of refrigerators! Suppose a rock is ejected from the volcano with a speed of 25 m/s and at an angle of 35° above the horizontal, as shown above. The rock strikes the ground at an altitude 20.0 meters lower than its starting point at the level of the cinder cone. Ignoring air resistance and using a coordinate system whose origin is located at the launch point as shown below, answer the following; Vo = 25 m/s 35° -20 m a. At what time, tstrike , does the rock strike the ground? Hint: since you know the initial and final values of y you can use the y-equation to find the time of impact ----BUT you will have to make use of the quadratic formula (make life easier and use g=10) b. What is the velocity vector of the rock at the point of impact? Now that you know t, from part a, you can find the velocity vector from i = öx+ öy , where vz = v;cos0î, and vy= (v;sin0 – gt)
