CP A test rocket starting from rest at point A is launched by accelerating it along a 200.0-m incline at 1.90 m/s2 (Fig. F3.43). The incline rises at 35.0C above the horizontal, and at the instant the rocket leaves it, the engines turn off and the rocket is subject to gravity only (ignore air resistance). Find (a) the maximum height above the ground that the rocket reaches, and (b) the rocket’s greatest horizontal range beyond point A.

- You throw a ball from the balcony onto the court in the basketball arena. You release the ball at a height of 8.00 m above the court, with a initial velocity equal to 8.70 m/s at 35.0∘ above the horizontal. A friend of yours, standing on the court 11.0 m from the point directly beneath you, waits for a period of time after you release the ball and then begins to move directly away from you at an acceleration of 1.60 m/s2. (She can only do this for a short period of time!) If you throw the ball in a line with her, how much time ? wait after you release the ball should she wait to start running directly away from you so that she’ll catch the ball exactly 1.00 m above the floor of the court? t-wait=arrow_forwardA disappointed Romeo throws a pebble, with a speed of 16.3 m/s, horizontally from a balcony. It falls 4.14 s before hitting the ground below. Neglect air resistance. a) How high is the balcony from the ground below,b) how far does the pebble travel before striking the ground, and c) at what speed and angle does the pebble hit the ground?arrow_forwardOn a hot summer day, a young girl swings on a rope above the local swimming hole (Figure 1). When she lets go of the rope her initial velocity is 2.35 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. Figure Vo 35.0⁰ < 1 of 1 ▼ Part A If she is in flight for 0.618 s, how high above the water was she when she let go of the rope?

- A bird flies in the ry -plane with a velocity vector given by ở = (a – Bt²) î+ytî, 1.6 m/s³ and y = 4.0 m/s². The positive y -direction is vertically with a = 2.4 m/s, B = upward. At t = 0 the bird is at the origin. (a) Calculate the position and acceleration vectors of the bird as functions of time. O for the first time after (b) What is the bird's altitude (y -coordinate ) as it flies over x = t = 0?arrow_forwardAn Olympic diver is on a diving platform 5.20 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is the diver's speed, in m/s, just before she enters the water? m/sarrow_forwardA secret agent skis off a slope inclined at θ = 28.3 degrees below horizontal at a speed of v0 = 17.4 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the other side of the gorge is h = 11.9 m below the edge of the upper slope. a.)What is the maximum width, w, of the gorge (in meters) so that the agent clears it?arrow_forward
- An airplane traveling horizontally 1600 m above the ocean at 68.2 m/s must drop a box of rescue supplies to sailors stranded on a remote island. 3. How many seconds before being directly above the sailors should the pilot release the box of rescue supplies? (Air resistance is negligible.) a. Time = b. Given the drop time above, what is the horizontal distance between the airplane and the stranded sailors when the box of rescue supplies must be released? (Air resistance is negligible.) Distance =arrow_forwarda long jumper leaves the ground at 45 degrees above the horizontal and lands 6.0 m away. what is his takeoff speed V0?arrow_forwardJuliet is standing in front of a wall and Romeo is at a window above her at a height of 3.61 m from the ground. Juliet tosses a box of candy straight up with speed 7.50 m/s from a height of 1.53 m above the ground. Ignore any effects due to air resistance. To receive full marks, you must include a diagram showing the physical situation and your choice of coordinate system. (a) Will the box reach Romeo? O Yes O No (b) If so, what is the box's speed when it reaches Romeo? If not, what initial speed must the rock have to reach Romeo? m/sarrow_forward
- esc A hot air balloon is ascending straight up at a constant speed of 7.90 m/s. When the balloon is 10.0 m above the ground, a gun fires a pellet straight up from ground level with an initial speed of 38.0 m/s. Along the paths of the balloon and the pellet, there are two places where each of them has the same altitude at the same time. How far above ground level are these places? Enter the answers in the ascending order.
