The banded archerfish is a species of fish that lives in mangrove estuaries in Asia and Oceania. It has a unique and highly
effective hunting strategy: it shoots an incredibly precise stream of water out of its mouth at almost ten meters per second,
knocking insects and other small animals into the water from nearby branches!

Our hero, a hungry archerfish, has spotted a big, delicious bug sitting on a branch a height ħ above the surface of the water.
The archerfish can shoot its water jet at a speed of vo. The archerfish wants to knock the bug sideways off of the branch, so it
decides to shoot so that its water jet is moving horizontally at the moment when it strikes the bug. The final goal of this
problem is to find the horizontal distance, d, from the branch, and the angle above horizontal, 0, at which archerfish should
shoot.

- In 1939 or 1940, Emanuel Zacchini took his human-cannonball act to an extreme: After being shot from a cannon, he soared over three Ferris wheels and into a net (see the figure). Assume that he is launched with a speed of 26 m/s and at an angle of 50°. (a) Treating him as a particle, calculate his clearance over the first wheel. (b) If he reached maximum height over the middle wheel, by how much did he clear it? (c) How far from the cannon should the net's center have been positioned (neglect air drag)?arrow_forwardI need help with this HW problemarrow_forwardWhile traversing a two-lane highway, the driver observes a girl, 60 m ahead, at the edge of the traveled way of the opposite direction about to cross the road. The lane width of the traveled way is 3.5 m. The vehicle is 2 m wide and 3 m long. The speed of the vehicle is 75 kph and the walking speed of the girl is 1.5 m/s. The vehicle is traveling along the centerline of the traveled way. Asssume that the driver's PR time is 0.8 sec and the coefficient of friction between the vehicle tires and the pavement is 0.4. a. If the roadway is level, will the girl be able to corss the road safely? b. If the roadway has down grade of 0.5%, what is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement required so that the driver won't hit the girl? c. Using the original coefficient of friction between vehicle tires and the pavement, at what roadway grade is the vehicle traversing such that the vehicle was just able to stop without hitting the girl?arrow_forward
- Problem 2: In baseball the pitcher will throw baseballs horizontally and to account for gravity, the pitcher will stand upon a raised mound. Take the pitcher's release point to be 1.2m above the ground and they will hit a spot 0.7m above the ground at a distance 20m away. a) Draw ST vs t, sy VS t, Uz VS t,, Vy vs t, a vs t,, and ay vs t, graphs of the baseball's motion b) from Kinematic Equations on the first page Prove that the velocity needed is = 9(Asz)² V24sy symbolically by starting c) If the pitcher was playing on Mars (g = 3.7m/s, negligible air resistance) how fast would they have to pitch?arrow_forwardA particle is moving with the given data. Find the position of the particle. a(t) = 2t + 9, s(0) = 6, v(0) = = -8 s(t)arrow_forwardThe velocities of the particles at an instant are VA = 5m/s and VB = 7m/s, with the angle between them at 37.5o.

- In 2004 two Martian probes successfully landed on the Red Planet. The final phase of the landing involved bouncing the probes until they came to rest (they were surrounded by protective inflated “balloons”). During one of the bounces, the telemetry (electronic data sent back to Earth) indicated that the probe too off at 25.0 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees and landed 110 m away (and then bounced again). Assuming the landing region was level, determine the acceleration due to gravity near the Martian surface.arrow_forwardHere is my problem: From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 15.4 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 18.0 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 26.7 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance. I think I have the correct steps.. but can't seem to get the right answer. I would like someone to walk me through how to solve this.arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle is given by v = {16t’i + 4t°j + (5t + 2)k} m/s, where t is in seconds. If the particle if at the origin when t = 0, determine the z-coordinate position %3D of the particle when t = 2 s.arrow_forward
- Why is (j + k) = i?I see that i x i = 0, that makes sense. But I thought that j x k = i? not j + k.arrow_forwardOn the roof of a 24 meter high building there is a cannon. The barrel of the cannon is 4.0 meters long and forms the angle ? = 30° up from the horizontal. When the cannon is fired, the cannon ball leaves the muzzle the cannon barrel with the initial speed of 360 km/h regardless of the angle of the barrel. Suppose you find yourself in one area which, with the exception of the building you are standing on, is completely flat. How long does it take for the bullet to hit the ground?arrow_forwardA golf ball is hit at an angle of 40° above horizontal with a speed of 55 m/s.
