My sable-colored Siberian husky, Samba, loves to run after huge objects (for instance, tree branches). I decide to chunk a 6 foot long stick for her to run after and bring back to me. I throw the stick at 2.42 ft/s in 1.5 s. In feet and to two decimal places, how far away did the stick land
Bob proposed Alice to a marriage on the very top of a 30m building. Alice said yes. Bob then put the ring on Alice’s finger. Alice was very happy. She threw her hands up in the air. Unfortunately, the ring slipped from her finger and fell down due to gravity.Bob set up a camera to record the moment. Thus, he look at the footage and determine that the ring was going out of Alice’s hand with speed of vi =10m/s at an angle of θ=30 . The dimension of the building is given below.
(a) If the ring were to land on the terrace, how long would it take?(b) If the ring were to land on the Lawn, how long would it take?(c) Where should Bob search for the ring? Terrace or lawn? An answer with no support reasoning will recieve no credit.

- A girl is standing at the edge of a cliff 100. m above the ground. She reaches out over the edge of the cliff and throws a rock straight upward with a speed 8.00 m/s. a) How long does it take the rock to hit the ground? b) What is the speed of the rock the instant before it hits the ground? Please type answerarrow_forwardA cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0 m wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?arrow_forwardSasha stands on the ground and tosses a baseball perfectly vertically up to her friend Helge, who catches it by reaching outside the window of his apartment building. She gives the ball an initial speed of vi= 19.7 m/s, and Helge catches it 1.40 s later when it reaches his hands. If Helge were to drop the baseball from rest at this point, what would be its final speed vf when it reaches Sasha’s hands down below? (She catches the ball at the same height from which she tossed it.)For your limit check, investigate what happens to vf as Sasha’s launch speed gets very large (i.e., as vi→∞). This is my question. I am also trying to figure out what formulas I would use to solve it.arrow_forward
- You are playing Hot Rod toy cars with your nephew and niece. Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.0 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it.

- Two friends are tossing balls from the main floor of the auditorium to the balcony. One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the balls at the same height above their feet. The balls are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up]. With what velocity should the girl on the balcony throw her ball at the same moment, so that both balls will be caught by the other person at exactly the same timearrow_forwardHenrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.45 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 36.4 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 7.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance.
