- In 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 ss in the air (their "hang time"). Treat Kobe as a particle and let ymaxymax 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 To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2ymax/2 moving up to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. You may ignore…arrow_forwardAn Olympic long jumper is capable of jumping 8.0 m.Assuming his horizontal speed is 9.1m/s as he leaves the ground, how long is he in the air and how high does he go? Assume that he lands standing upright—that is, the same way he left the ground.arrow_forwardAn Osprey can fly horizontally (not diving) at a maximum speed of 70.0 km/hr. The bird takes off from rest at the edge of a cliff, heading east, and accelerates at a rate of 1.21 m/s2. The osprey can decelerate at higher rate of 2.43 m/s2. The Osprey can reach top speeds of about 84 mph. When doing so, it does not flap its wings. Rather, it relies on its gravitational force to accelerate it downwards. a. Assuming that it starts from rest, and assuming that drag forces are slim, how long will it take for the osprey to reach its top speed? b. How far does it travel during this time? c. Near the top speed, drag forces become important, and in fact the terminal velocity is determined by the drag force. Assuming that the osprey's body can be modeled as a cylinder, with its cross-sectional area equal to that of a circle with radius of 10 cm, what is the coefficient of drag C for a hawk?arrow_forward
- A 440g beanbag slides up a cornhole board (if you’ve never played cornhole before, the board is basically a ramp). The board is tilted 10.◦ from the hori- zontal. The beanbag initially is moving with a speed of 1.21 m/s directly up the ramp. It stops at a displacement 0.35m from where it was initially, and then slides back down 1. How does the magnitude of the acceleration of the bean bag on the wayup compare to the acceleration of the beanbag on the way down? Explainyour reasoning.2. What is the coefficient of friction between the bean bag and the ramp?3. What is the bean bag’s speed when it reaches its initial starting point onits way down?arrow_forwardTwo 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_forwardYou’re at the top of a mountain, which slopes down at a 45 degree angle below the horizontal. You throw a pebble horizontally from the top of the slope, with an initial speed of 10 m/s. How much time does the pebble spend in free-fall before hitting the sloping ground? (Round to the nearest integer number of seconds.)arrow_forward
- A Canon launches a target at 40°. My distance of the x value is 4.60m. My distance for the y value is 1.1670 meters. The distance total is 4.746 meters. The problem is asking me to figure out the time of the object in air.I don't have velocity, I know the velocity initial is more than 0 and that the velocity final is zero. If I want to find time, I would need to use a vector diagram of velocity and use the resultant as my velocity. However, I have no idea what the velocity of Y or velocity of X. I only know that the velocity of X is in equilibrium and is constant as well as knowing that velocity final is zero. Oh yeah also velocity initial is velocity of the x value.arrow_forwardThe best rebounders in basketbal have a vertical leap of about 119.76 cm. What is their initial "launch" speed off the ground?
