Chapter 4, Problem 81CP
A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at θ = 15.0° above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94). The slope where she will land is inclined downward at ϕ = 50.0°, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included.

- A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.8m/s, directed at an angle of 59degrees above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.0m above the ground. Let the x-axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches, and when the skateboarder reaches the highest point how far is the point horizontally from the end of the ramp?arrow_forwardAlice tosses a snowball from the window of her apartment.

(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. What is the initial x -component of the ball's initial velocity? Express your answer in terms of the variables v0 , θ, ϕ. What is the initial y -component of the ball's initial velocity? Express your answer in terms of the variables v0 , θ, ϕ.

The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground? Recall that the ball will have a final velocity along the y-axis and the x-axis and these components need to be added together with the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the resultant velocity.arrow_forwardA fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below).
