Chapter 25, Problem 9P
The first radio broadcast was made on January 13, 1910. It was a live performance at New York City’s Metropolitan Opera House. Since that time, how far has that radio broadcast traveled in light-years? In the solar neighborhood there is, on average, one star system per 400 cubic light-years. How many star systems could have heard those opera singers? (Note: The volume of a sphere =

3.63 • Leaping the River II. A physics professor did daredevil
stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across
a river on a motorcycle (Fig. P3.63). The takeoff ramp was inclined at
53.0°, the river was 40.0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0 m lower
than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp.
Ignore air resistance. (a) What should his speed have been at the top of
the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank? (b) If his speed
was only half the value found in part (a), where did he land?

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down, 5.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 25.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? Ignore air resistance.
