You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km. and 25.0 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.0 south of west. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separatism distance for the two airplanes. (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.54). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.54
You are participating in a summer internship with the Coast Guard. You have been assigned the duty of determining the direction in which a Coast Guard speedboat should travel to intercept unidentified vessels. One day, the radar operator detects an unidentified vessel at a distance of 20.0 km from the radar installation in the direction 15.0 east of north. The vessel is traveling at 26.0 km/h on a course at 40.0 east of north. The Coast Guard wishes to send a speedboat, which travels at 50.0 km/h, to travel in a straight line from the radar installation to intercept and investigate the vessel, and asks you for the heading for the speedboat to take. Express the direction as a compass bearing with respect to due north.
The displacement vectors 42.0 cm at 15.0 and 23.0 cm at 65.0 both start from the origin and form two sides of a parallelogram. Both angles are measured counterclockwise from the x axis. (a) Find the area of the parallelogram. (b) Find the length of its longer diagonal.
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? (In degrees)
A pirate ship is 506 m away from a fort that is being defended by artillery that is sea level. The defensive cannon is capable of firing a cannon ball at 95 m/s. At what angle(s) above horizontal can the cannon fire the cannon ball so that it will hit the pirate ship?
19. What is the optimum angle that can reach the maximum range for a given projectile? Select one: a. 35 degree b. 45 degree c. 55 degree d. 65 degree
A whale dives from the surface of the ocean at an angle of 30° below the horizontal and followed a linear path of 50 m long. How far below the water surface is the whale at this point? 50 m (50 m)/sin 30° (50 m) sin 30° (50 m) cos 30°
The pilot of an airplane carrying a package of mail to a remote outpost wishes to release the package at the right moment to hit the recovery location A. What angle θ with the horizontal should the pilot’s line of sight to the target make at the instant of release? The airplane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 113 m with a velocity of 291 km/h.
Snow is falling vertically at a constant speed of 7.8m/s. a) At what angle from the vertical and b) with what speed do the snowflakes appear to be falling as viewed by the driver of a car traveling on a straight road with a speed of 55km/h?
One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. While your opponent is watching this first snowball, you throw a second snowball at a low angle and time it to arrive at the same time as the first. Assume both snowballs are thrown with the same initial speed 32.1 m/s. The first snowball is thrown at an angle of 57◦ above the horizontal. At what angle should you throw the second snowball to make it hit the same point as the first? Note the starting and ending heights are the same. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2
