Chapter 3, Problem 56AP
Antlion larvae lie in wait for prey at the bottom of a conical pit about 5.0 cm deep and 3.8 cm in radius. When a small insect ventures into the pit, it slides to the bottom and is seized by the antlion. If the prey attempts to escape, the antlion rapidly launches grains of sand at the prey, either knocking it down or causing a small avalanche that returns the prey to the bottom of the pit. Suppose an antlion launches grains of sand at an angle of 72° above the horizon. Find the launch speed v0 required to hit a target at the top of the pit, 5.0 cm above and 3.8 cm to the right of the antlion.

When the red kangaroo of Australia is moving at full speed, it can bounce at a speed of 8.5 meters per second, at an angle of
45 degrees above horizontal. Assuming the kangaroo is bouncing on level ground, what is the kangaroo’s hang time in the air during a single bounce?
A ball is dropped from a height 16 m above the ground at t=0.0. Each time it bounces from the ground, its rebound speed is 60% of its impact speed. At the instant the first ball hits the ground, a second ball is released from the same place. Take g = 9.8 m/s2. At what height above the ground will they collide? (Take the ground as y=0.0 m)
Georgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma?
Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut. Set your origin at point A. Neglect air resistance.

- You are part of a car accident investigative team, looking into a case where a car drove off a bridge. You are using the lab projectile launcher to simulate the accident and to test your mathematical model (an equation that applies to the situation) before you apply the model to the accident data. We are assuming we can treat the car as a projectile.arrow_forwardThe vector position of a 3.65 g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r1 = (3î + 3ĵ)t + 2ĵt2 where t is in seconds and r is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.45 g particle varies as r2 = 3î − 2ît2 − 6ĵt.arrow_forwardA mortar is like a small cannon that launches shells at steep angles. A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill. Enemy forces are charging up the hill and it is necessary for the crew to spring into action. Angling the mortar at an angle of 0 65.0° (as shown), the crew fires the shell at a muzzle velocity of 148 ft/s. How far d down the hill does the shell strike if the hill d subtends an angle o = 37.0° from the horizontal? Ignore air friction. d = How long will the mortar shell remain in the air? time: S How fast will the shell be traveling when it hits the ground? speed: m/sarrow_forward
- You need to get into your fourth-floor apartment, but you have forgotten your key to the main ground floor door of the building. You call up to your lazy roommate to come down and let you in, but he says he will throw the keys down to you instead. The window that he throws the keys out of is 13 meters above the ground, and he chucks them with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal. The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s?. How far back from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys?arrow_forwardTwo identical objects with the same initial speed collide and stick together. If the composite object moves with half the initial speed of either object, what was the angle between the initial velocities? 20° O 30° 450 60° 120°arrow_forwardWhen serving, a beach volleyball player strikes the volleyball (mass = 265 g) at a height of 2.4 metres above the ground. The ball follows the standard path of a projectile, first rising as it passes over the net, and then descending. The opponent receives the volleyball 1.1 seconds later at the same height (2.4 metres above the ground), and at a horizontal distance of 13.5 metres from the server. Answer the following questions assuming there is no effect of air resistance. When the ball was received by the opponent, the horizontal component of velocity (in m/s) was? The vertical component of velocity at take-off and impact (in m/s) can be solved by recognizing that the vertical component of velocity at the point of maximum height in the trajectory of motion is (in m/s)?arrow_forward

In practice, a dynamics student that is participating in the race kicks the soccer ball such that the soccer ball will bounce off the far wall of the pit 5 meters below the surface and head towards the target. If the velocity of the ball before striking the wall at point A is v A = 3.02 – 103 m, determine the n-component of the ball's velocity vector (in m) after striking the wall. The size of the ball and the target are negligible relative to the dimensions of the pit, the gravity acceleration must be considered as 10 m and the coefficient of restitution at point A is e = 0.45. 5 т A 10 m 1marrow_forwardA coin slides off the edge of a horizontal table with an initial velocity of 4 m/s horizontally and experiences no significant air resistance.
