Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 26RCQ
Try this with your friends. Hold a dollar bill so that the midpoint hangs between a friend s fingers and challenge him to catch it by snapping his fingers shut when you release it. He won’t be able to catch it! Explanation: From d=Vi gt2, the bill will fall a distance of 8 centimeters (half the length of the bill) in a time of 1/8 second, but the time required for the necessary impulses to travel from his eye to his brain to his fingers is at least 1/7 second.

- Figure 8.14 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.arrow_forward2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, 0, y and g. Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for timet (in terms of v., 0.,y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and Equation 4).arrow_forwardDraw a phase portrait for an oscillating, damped spring.arrow_forward
