54. c A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at
0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and
falls into a pool (Eig. P3.54).
a. How far from the wall will the water land? 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,
one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

b. Suppose the launcher available shoots projectiles at twice the maximum launch speed you found in part (a). At what maximum angle above the horizontal should you launch the projectile?

- While strolling downtown on a Saturday Afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.arrow_forwardIn a cartoon program, Peter tosses his baby, Stewie, up into the air to keep the child entertained. Stewie reaches a maximum height of 0.873 m above the release point. Suppose the positive y axis points upward, a. With what initial velocity was Stewie thrown? b. How much time did it take Stewie to reach the peak height?arrow_forwardTadeh launches a model rocket straight up from his backyard that takes 4.50 s to reach its maximum altitude.
