Chapter 5, Problem 8A
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare with the motion of free fall?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To compare: Thedownward component of the motion of a projectile with the motion of free fall.
Answer to Problem 8A
Thedownward component of the motion of a projectile with the motion of free fall are equal.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A projectile is an object that moves through air or space, and is acted upon by the effect of gravity only.
Now, on the projectile no acceleration acts in horizontal direction while the gravity acts in vertical direction. Hence, the downward component of the motion of a projectile will be acted upon by the gravity only. Also, it is known that the free fall occurs when an object falls freely under the effect of gravity.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the motion of a free fall and the downward component of the motion of projectile are equal.

- 3.63 • Leaping the River II. A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle (Fig. P3.63). The takeoff ramp was inclined at 53.0°, the river was 40.0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp. Ignore air resistance. (a) What should his speed have been at the top of the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank? (b) If his speed was only half the value found in part (a), where did he land?
