- While 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_forwardThe lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him to move quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0° the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.45 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is 2.10 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he does.) 15.0 m/s 2.10 m 50.0 10.0 m Number i Unitsarrow_forwardProfessional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?arrow_forward
- A man stands on the roof of a 15.0-m-tall building and throwsa rock with a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 33.0 above the horizontal.Ignore air resistance.

The pass is released 5.0 ft above the ground. Assume the receiver is stationary and will catch the ball if it reaches him. Will it be a complete pass? If not will it fall short or ''fly'' to the receiver?arrow_forwardThree identical balls are thrown from the top of a building all with the same initial speed. The first is thrown horizontally, the second at some angle above the horizontal, and the third at some angle below the horizontal, as shown below. Neglecting air resistance, rank the speeds of the balls afrom fastest to slowest. (a) 1,2,3 (b)2,1,3 (c) 3,1,2 (d) all the three ball strike the ground at the same speed.arrow_forward
- 1. A ball is launched with an initial speed of vo = 20 m/s at the origin of the coordinate system with a launching angle of 0 = 45° in terms of the horizontal axis. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find the two components, vox and voy, of the initial velocity. (b) What is the speed of the ball in y-direction (v,) when it reaches its highest position of its trajectory? (c) Find the maximum height of the ball in y-direction, ymax: f10 m If the air resistance is negligible, use conservationarrow_forwardTwo identical balls are thrown vertically upward. The second ball is thrown with an initial speed that is twice that of the first ball. How does the maximum height of the two balls compare? The maximum height of the second ball is four times that of the first ball. The maximum height of the second ball is two times that of the first ball. The maximum height of the second ball is eight times that of the first ball. The maximum height of the second ball is 1.41 times that of the first ball. The maximum heights of the two balls are equal.arrow_forwardAntlion larvae lie in wait for prey at the bottom of aconical pit about 5.0 cm deep and 3.8 cm in radius. When asmall insect ventures into the pit, it slides to the bottom and isseized by the antlion. If the prey attempts to escape, the antlionrapidly launches grains of sand at the prey, either knockingit down or causing a small avalanche that returns the preyto the bottom of the pit. Suppose an antlion launches grainsof sand at an angle of 72° above the horizon. Find the launchspeed v0 required to hit a target at the top of the pit, 5.0 cmabove and 3.8 cm to the right of the antlion.arrow_forward
