For sport, a 12 kg armadillo runs onto a large pond of level, frictionless ice. The armadillo’s initial velocity is 5.0 m/s along the positive direction of an x axis. Take its initial position on the ice as being the origin. It slips over the ice while being pushed by a wind with a force of 17 N in the positive direction of the y axis. In unit vector notation, what are the animal’s (a) velocity and (b) position vector when it has slid for 3.0 s?

For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut. Set your origin at point A. Neglect air resistance.arrow_forward

Assume the water acts as a projectile that moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the hose nozzle position, as shown. Using v0, θ, and g, write an expression for the time, tmax, the water travels to reach its maximum vertical height. tmax =arrow_forwardA golf ball is hit from the ground (elevation is zero) and takes off with a launch speed of 55 m/s and a launch angle of 25 degrees. The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s2 downward (negative y direction). The wind resistance is proportional to velocity and is defined by constant k = 0.014 N / (m/s). The mass of the golf ball m = 46 grams. 1) Determine the horizontal x1(t) and vertical y1(t) positions as a function of time ignoring air / wind resistance in both the x and y directions. 2) Determine the horizontal x2(t) and vertical y2(t) positions as a function of time including air / wind resistance in both the x and y directions. 3) For the case ignoring wind / air resistance, calculate how long the ball is in the air (in seconds) and how far away the ball lands from where it was hit (in meters).arrow_forward

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_forwardProblem 8: A person is standing on top of a building.
