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?

- A projectile is fired from point O at the edge of a cliff, as shown in figure 1, with an initial velocity components v0x = 60.0 m/s and v0y = 175 m/s. The projectile rises and then falls into the sea at point P. The time of flight of the projectile (the time it spends in the air) is 40.0s and the projectile experiences no appreciable air resistance in flight. a) Find the height of the cliff. b) Find the speed of the projectile just before it hits the water at point P.arrow_forwardPlease answer f and g.arrow_forwardIn the vertical jump, an Kobe Bryant starts from a crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat Kobe as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. Note: this isn't the entire story since Kobe can twist and curl up in the air, but then we can no longer treat him as a particle. Hint: Find v0 to reach y_max in terms of g and y_max and recall the velocity at y_max is zero. Then find v1 to reach y_max/2 with the same kinematic equation. The time to reach y_max is obtained from v0=g (t), and the time to reach y_max/2 is given by v1-v0= -g(t1). Now, t1 is the time to reach y_max/2, and the quantity t-t1 is the time to go from y_max/2 to y_max. You want the ratio of (t-t1)/t1 Note from Asker: I am generally confused on how to manipulate the formulas, so if you could show every step that would be great, Thank You.

- Consider the a person holding a vacuum cleaner (idealized as Bar AB). The point where the person holds the handle (point A) is constrained to move along the vertical and has a velocity of 0.12 m/s downwards and is increasing its speed at a constant rate of 0.4 m/s2. This is in order to move the tail end (Point B) of the cleaner. The tail end of the ceaner has a velocity of 0.0840 m/s to the right and the vacuum cleaner has a angular velocity of 0.0586 rad/s.

- An object slides on a flat, frictionless surface. At t = 0 s, it is at position x i= 0.1 m, with a velocity v i x= 0.1 m/s, subject to an acceleration a x= 1.6 m/s2. At t= ? s , the object's velocity is v x= 2.7 m/s and its position is x m. Find the object's position in meters at time t. You may or may not need to solve for the time in order to do this. The system will not recognize units, so do not attempt to enter them. The system is also not good with significant figures, so round to one decimal place at the end.arrow_forwardA student begins at rest and then walks north at a speed of v1 = 0.55 m/s. The student then turns south and walks at a speed of v2 = 0.53 m/s. Take north to be the positive direction.
