You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.83 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 3.10 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (see the figure below). Calculate the space behind the waterfall to determine if it will be wide enough for a 1.0 m pedestrian walkway.

You are required to build a pulley system to pull heavy storage boxes across a frictionlessfloor. The boxes must be pulled across the floor to the wall. The pulley is placed 15 feet highon the wall. You are able to pull the rope through the pulley at a rate of 3 ft/s. This meansthe hypotenuse is changing at a rate of 3 ft/s. Round your answers to three decimals. a.) How fast is the box moving across the floor when the box is 12 feet away from the wall? b.) At what rate is the angle between the rope and the floor changing at the same time?

Shown is a graph of the motion of the blades of a blender that is starts empty and is initially turned off. Then the power is turned on at thehighest speed setting, some ice cubes are added, and the blades slow down. The blades are 3.0 cm long.a. When the blender is empty and running at high speed, how much time is required for a blade to turn by 90°?b. How many revolutions does a blade complete between 15 and 20 seconds?c. How fast is the tip of a blade moving when the blender is running empty?
F. What is the speed at the halfway point?

Joe was assigned to an expedition to the Arctic by the government to find the wrecks of a ship that has been lost for 100 years. During his first day, he decided to explore the area riding a snow mobile, He traveled 185 miles south from the base camp and then turned and drove 70 miles west. After finding nothing, Joe decided to return to the camp.a. In what direction must he drive to go back to camp?b. Joe noticed that his snow mobile's gas level is only a quarter full. He estimates that he can still travel for 150 miles with the remaining gas. Will his snow mobile's gas be enough to reach camp?c. If the gas was not enough, how much distance will Joe have to walk to reach the base camp?
A. using your measured distance (35 inches) your average time of motion (drop times 2.04s,1.78,2.26,1.59,1.87 and 1.91)and the constant acceleration equation (x=1/2 at^2)calculate the acceration of the atwood machine. B. using m2-m2/m1+m2(9.8)=20/40=0.5x9.8=4.9 and the masses (60,70g) calculate the expected acceleration. C. what quanatiative compariosn is most appropriate between your results (percent difference or error)?
