A balloon is rising from the earth's surface. The ascent velocity v, = 2 (m/s) is constant. The horizontal
component of the speed of the balloon due to the wind is v, = 4y, where y is the height of the balloon from
the ground. Find the drift distance in the horizontal direction when the balloon rises y = 40 (m).
g = 10 (m/s²)
A) 150 (m)
В) 200 (m)
С) 225 (m)
D) 1600 (m)
E) 960 (m)
A pilot flew his single-engine airplane
60
miles with the wind from City A to above City B. He then turned around and flew back to City A against the wind. If the wind was a constant
20
miles per hour, and the total time going and returning was
1.3
hours, find the speed of the plane in still air.
You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your
friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course
and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is
traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0° W of S. What is the direction of her average
acceleration between those same two times?

- A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69arrow_forwardIn 2070, Adam wins a vacation at the new Moon Country Club. While vacationing Adam hits a golf ball off a cliff 300 meters high with an initial speed of 40 meters per second at an angle of 45° to the horizontal on the Moon(gravity on the Moon is one-sixth of that on Earth). Round all answers to three decimal places. a. Find parametric equations that describe the position of the ball as a function of time, t (round coefficients to three decimal places). b. How long is the ball in the air? c. When is the ball at its maximum height? What is that maximum height? d. When the ball lands, how far is it from Adam(the horizontal distance the ball traveled)?arrow_forwardThe 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! Pom Fbug (t) Ө = 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. d (a) What are the position and velocity of the water droplet as a function of time and the position and velocity of the bug as a function of…arrow_forward
- A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v, = 20.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 53.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. yarrow_forwardYou have been asked to determine if a proposed apparatus to implant ions in silicon to make better semiconductors will work. The apparatus slows down positive He ions that have a charge twice that of an electron (He++). It consists of a circular wire that is connected to a power supply so that it becomes a negatively charged circle. An ion with a velocity of 200 m/s on a trajectory perpendicular to the plane of the circle is shot out from the center of the circle. The wire circle has a radius of 3.0 cm and can have a charge up to 8.0 C. The sample into which the ion is to be implanted is to be placed 2.5 mm from the charged circle. You look up the charge of an electron and mass of the helium and find them to be 1.6 × 10-19 C and 6.7 x 10-27 kg. [Hint: You want the ion to come to rest just as it reaches the sample. Use the potential along the axis of a charged ring and conservation of energy.]arrow_forwardYou are investigating an accident that occurred early on a foggy morning in Oxfordshire. A 2015 Prius Hatchback traveling due north collided in a highway intersection with a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder that was traveling due east. After the collision, the wreckage of the two vehicles was locked together and skidded across the level ground until it struck a tree. You measure that the tree is 11 m from the point of impact. The line from the point of impact to the tree is in a direction 39° north of east. From experience, you estimate that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the wreckage is 0.45. Shortly before the collision, a police officer with a laser speed gun measured the speed of the Prius to be 80 km/h and, according to a witness, the Prius driver made no attempt to slow down. Four people with a total mass of 230 kg were in the Nissan. The only person in the Prius was the 80 kg driver. The Nissan with its passengers had a mass of 2362 kg, and the Prius with its…arrow_forward
- A 25-kg projectile is fired vertically upward from the ground. If the velocity is 35 m/s at 5 m above the ground, determine the maximum height (from the ground) in meters to which it will travel if: a. Atmospheric resistance is neglected b. Atmospheric resistance is measured as Fo = 8.01v? (in Newtons), where is the speed of the projectile at any instant, measured in m/s.arrow_forwardHow would I begin to solve this problem? In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for a rocket's position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t) = (RE3/2 + 3*(g/2)1/2 REt)2/3 where RE is the radius of the Earth (6.38 ✕ 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface (9.81 m/s2). (a) Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). (Use the following as necessary: g, RE, and t. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)arrow_forwardA skier is at the top of a hill with height h. Starting from rest, the skier goes down to a flat area. On this flat area, there is a section of the slope with length D where the snow has melted (there is friction here). After passing the melted section, the skier goes up a smaller hill of height h2. At the top of this hill there is a drop off and the skier launches off of it with a horizontal speed. At what horizontal distance from the base of the jump does the skier land?arrow_forward
