Problem Statement: You decide you are done with physics class and you run away
to join a traveling circus. The circus is putting on a new act which involves launching
someone out of a cannon, “the human cannonball," however, the cannon is mounted
atop a moving train. The human cannonball will be launched in front of the train
from atop the train. Just before landing in harms way, a trapeze artist will swoop the
cannonball up before they are hit by the train. The ring mistress of the circus learns
that you studied physics and decides she wants you to do some calculations for the
safety of the human cannonball. You can't seem to escape your physics class even in
the circus.
Suppose the human cannonball is launched with speed vo and launch angle 0. At the
moment they launch, the train which had been moving with speed Vtrain, begins to
accelerate with acceleration a.
NOTE: This problem involves understanding relative motion between the ground's
stationary reference frame and the train's…
Starting at 48th Street, Dylan rides his bike due east on Meridian Road with the wind at his back. He rides for 20 min at 15 mph. He then stops for 5 min, turns around, and rides back to 48th Street; because of the headwind, his speed is only 10 mph.a. How long does his trip take?b. Assuming that the origin of his trip is at 48th Street, draw a position-versus-time graph for his trip.
I'm only asking for help on parts a-c.
