- In the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, after being told that Darth Vader is his father, Luke Skywalker falls from a ledge in Cloud City (not on the Earth, so the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is not necessarily 9.81 m/s2). Suppose he falls a distance of 28.5 m in 2.5 s. Assuming he starts from rest, answer the following questions. a. What is Lukes velocity 2.5 s after he starts to fall? b. What is the constant acceleration due to gravity, experienced by Luke, on Cloud City? Use an upward-pointing y axis.arrow_forwardA rock is thrown horizontally off a 56.0-m-high cliff overlooking the ocean, and the sound of the splash is heard 3.60 s later. If the speed of sound in air at this location is 343 m/s, what was the initial velocity of the rock?arrow_forwardA fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity vi=(4.00i+1.00j)m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is ri=(10.0i4.00j)m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20.0 s, its velocity is v=(20.0i5.00j)m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish? (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector i? (c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t = 25.0 s and in what direction is it moving?arrow_forward
- Figure P2.33 shows the y-position (in blue) of a particle versus time. a. What is the average velocity of the particle during the time interval t = 1.00 s to t = 3.50 s? b. Using the tangent to the curve (shown as the orange line in the figure), what is the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 1.50 s? c. At what time is the velocity of the particle equal to zero? FIGURE P2.33arrow_forwardIn three different driving tests, a car moves with constant speed v0. In case 1, the car passes over a mark painted on a horizontal, straight section of road. In case 2, the car passes over a mark painted at the crest of a small hill. In case 3, the car passes over a mark painted at the bottom of a small dip. The hill and the dip are circular in profile, with the same radius (Fig. P4.36). Rank the cases from greatest to least according to the magnitude of the acceleration of the car when it passes the mark. Explain. FIGURE P4.36arrow_forwardDuring the battle of Bunker Hill, Colonel William Prescott ordered the American Army to bombard the British Army camped near Boston. The projectiles had an initial velocity of 45 m/s at 35 above the horizon and an initial position that was 35 m higher than where they hit the ground. How far did the projectiles move horizontally before they hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardA newly established colony on the Moon launches a capsule vertically with an initial speed of 1.50 km/s. Ignoring the rotation of the Moon, what is the maximum height reached by the capsule?arrow_forwardA softball is hit with an initial velocity of 29.0 m/s at an angle of 60.0 above the horizontal and impacts the top of the outfield fence 5.00 s later. Assuming the initial height of the softball was 0.500 m above (level) ground, what are the balls horizontal and vertical displacements?arrow_forward
