The track at Akron’s Derby Downs, where the national championship is held, begins with a 55-ft-long section tilted 13° below horizontal.a. What is the maximum possible acceleration of a car moving down this stretch of track?b. If a car starts from rest and undergoes this acceleration for the full 55 ft, what is its final speed in m/s?arrow_forwardGaetano shoots a basketball from a height of 6.5 ft with an initial vertical velocity of 17 ft/s.

The edge of the roof is 14.0 m above the ground, and the snowball has a speed of 7.0 m/s as it rolls off the roof. PROVIDE ILLUSTRATIONS. a. How far from the edge of the barn does the snowball strike the ground if it doesn't strike anything else while falling? b. A man 1.9 m tall is standing 4.0 m from the edge of the barn. What is the vertical clearance between the man and the snowball.arrow_forwardErza is running her wagon on straight road while chasing Natsu at 200.0 kph. After driving for some time, Erza approaches a curve causing her to tum 180.0 deg then drives straight again. Assume that the curved part of the roadis an arc of a circle with radius of 13.00 m. Speed is constant throughout the travel. A. What is the acceleration's magnitude, in m/s^2, 6.981 s after leaving the curve? B. What is the angular speed, in rpm, while on the curve?arrow_forward

- A miniature quadcopter is located at xi = −2.50 m and yi = 2.70 m at t = 0 and moves with an average velocity having components vav, x = 1.70 m/s and vav, y = −2.50 m/s. What are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate (in m) of the quadcopter's position at t = 3.10 s? a. x-coordinate (m) b.y-coordinate(m)arrow_forwardChinook salmon are able to move through water especially fast by jumping out of the water periodically. This behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.26 m/s at 45.0 above the horizontal, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 3.58 m/s before jumping out again. a. Determine the average velocity of the fish for the entire process of jumping and swimming underwater. b. Consider the time interval required to travel the entire distance of 2L. By what percentage is this time interval reduced by the jumping/swimming process compared with simply swimming underwater at 3.58 m/s?arrow_forwardA long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 20.0° to the horizontal and at a speed of 11.0 m/s. a.
