- A golfer tees off from a location precisely at i = 35.0 north latitude. He hits the ball due south, with range 285 m. The balls initial velocity is at 48.0 above the horizontal. Suppose air resistance is negligible for the golf ball. (a) For how long is the ball in flight? The cup is due south of the golfers location, and the golfer would have a hole-in-one if the Earth were not rotating. The Earths rotation makes the tee move in a circle of radius RE cos i = (6.37 106 m) cos 35.0 as shown in Figure P6.47. The tee completes one revolution each day. (b) Find the eastward speed of the tee relative to the stars. The hole is also moving cast, but it is 285 m farther south and thus at a slightly lower latitude f. Because the hole moves in a slightly larger circle, its speed must he greater than that of the tee. (c) By how much does the holes speed exceed that of the tee? During the time interval the ball is in flight, it moves upward and downward as well as southward with the projectile motion you studied in Chapter 4, but it also moves eastward with the speed you found in part (b). The hole moves to the east at a faster speed, however, pulling ahead of the ball with the relative speed you found in part (c). (d) How far to the west of the hole does the ball land? Figure P6.47arrow_forwardA truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P3.48). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon leaves the hood of the truck with an initial speed vi = 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola, with its vertex at the initial location of the projected watermelon and with the equation y2 = 16x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?arrow_forwardA roller coaster moves 2.00 102 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0 below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coasters displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.arrow_forward
