Chapter 2, Problem 40AP

Two objects, A and B, are connected by hinges to a rigid rod that has a length L. The objects slide along perpendicular guide rails as shown in Figure P2.40. Assume object A slides to the left with a constant speed v. (a) Find the velocity vB of object B as a function of the angle θ. (b) Describe vB relative to v. Is vB always smaller than v, larger than v, or the same as v, or does it have some other relationship?

Consider the motion of a baseball. It has an initial position (Xo Yo) = (0,3.5) feet when it is hit at an angle of 60° with an initial speed of 78 ft/s. Assume the x-axis is horizontal, the positive y-axis is vertical, the ground is horizontal, and only the gravitational force acts on the object. a. Find the velocity and position vectors, for t≥ 0. b. Determine the time of flight and range of the object. c. Determine the maximum height of the object. a. The velocity vector is v(t) =, for t≥ 0. The position vector is r(t) = ([ for t≥ 0. b. The projectile remains in the air for (Round to two decimal places as needed.) seconds. The projectile travels feet. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. The maximum height of the object is feet. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay= (2.80 m/s^3)t, where the +y direction is upward. a) What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? b) What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?
