Bart Jumps Springfield Gorge on his skateboard. Springfield Gorge us 50m wide, and Bart has constructed a 1.0 m Hugh ramp inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Air resistance is neglected. Homer had calculated that he can jump the gorge if the ramp is inclined to 45°, and he attains a speed of 20m/s. Will Homer make it? If not, how far short of the other side is he when he drops below the level of the ground?

One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 5.60 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 6.90 m high, forming a 1.30 m Ngh railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.

A roofer kicks a round, flat rock that has been thrown into the roof by a neighborhood child. The rock slides straight up the incline with an initial speed of 15 m/s. The coef. of friction between the rock and the roof is 0.40. The rock slides 10.0 m up the roof to its peak. It crosses the ridge and goes into free fall, following a parabolic trajectory above the far side of the roof, with negligible air resistance.

At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. What force would the vaulter exert on the pole (in magnitude)?arrow_forwardThe act of bowling a ball can be rather involved, but in its simplest form the bowler swings her arm in a roughly circular arc, releasing the ball just a moment after it passes through the bottom of the arc. By the time the ball is at the bottom of the arc, its speed is not changing anymore. A decent bowler can make the ball travel the length of the 60-ft alley in about 2.1 s. Ignore the (small) friction between the ball and the lane, so the ball travels at constant speed, once released. Calculate the speed of the ball moving across the alley when the bowler releases it? Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. In what direction is the ball accelerating when it’s at the bottom of the swing and the bowler has not yet released it? If the bowler has 2-ft-long arms, estimate the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. Estimate the total force on the 14-lb ball.
