Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.47P
In fighting forest fires, airplanes work in support of ground crews by dropping water on the fires. For practice, a pilot drops a canister of red dye, hoping to hit a target on the ground below. If the plane is flying in a horizontal path 90.0 m above the ground and has a speed of 64.0 m/s (143 mi/h), at what horizontal distance from the target should the pilot release the canister? Ignore air resistance.

A frog sat on a lily pad on the surface of a lake. The frog jumped from the lily pad onto a flat grassy lawn. The nearest edge of the lawn was a horizontal distance 2.41 meters from the lily pad and a vertical distance 0.34
meters above the lily pad. The frog left the lily pad with a speed of 10.4 meters per second and a velocity inclined at an angle of 61 degrees above horizontal. Once the frog was in the air, the only significant force on the
frog was gravity with g = 10 meters per second squared. Calculate the distance a, in units of meters, from the edge of the grassy lawn to the place where the frog landed.

- A snowboarder is initially at a height of 8 m, then slides into a half-U shaped obstacle. This then causes him to be thrown as a projectile, with an inclination angle of 30° starting from the ground.

- Cupid wishes to shoot an arrow through the open window of a tall building. The window is 32.8 meters above the ground and Cupid stands 63.6 meters from the base of the building. If Cupid aims the arrow at an angle of 51.5 degrees above the horizontal, with what minimum speed must he fire the arrow in order for it to enter the window?arrow_forwardTwo friends are playing catch. They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for timearrow_forwardAldrich is flying a drone and drops a package on a target from a height of 9 m.
