Chapter 3, Problem 35PE
In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m and the acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times the acceleration due to gravity, g. How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)

- I need help with thisarrow_forwardYou fire a ball with an initial speed V0 at an angle (ϕ) above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle (θ) above the horizontal (Figure below). a. Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b. What angle ϕ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance. c. Since there's no air resistance, this is a problem in projectile motion. The goal is to find the point where the ball's parabolic trajectory intersects the incline. It is best to choose the x-axis to be horizontal and direct to the right, the y-axis to be vertical and direct to the up, and the origin to be at the point where the ball is fired. In the projectile equations, the launch angle α0 is measured from the horizontal. What is this angle in terms of (θ) and (ϕ)?arrow_forwardQ1.

- answer neatly thank you In a science experiment, a test object is launched by accelerating it along a 200 meter incline at 1.25 m/s starting from rest at the bottom point of the incline (Point Q). The incline is measure 35° from the horizontal, and the instant the object leaves the incline, the gears were turned off. Ignoring air resistance, a. Compute the maximum height above the ground that the object reaches. b. What is the maximum range of the object beyond Point Q?arrow_forwardI set up my inclined track apparatus at an angle of 15 degrees on a lab bench as shown in the figure above. I then release a billiard ball from rest and let it roll down the track. The distance the ball rolls down the track is 1.0 m and the vertical distance it falls to the floor after leaving the track is 1.2 m. What is the total horizontal distance the ball travels from the point where I release the ball to the point where it hits the floor?arrow_forwardThe range equation. Derive the distance a ball will travel before striking the ground if it is fired at velocity v and angle 0. (Your answer will be in terms of these variables.arrow_forward
