A golf ball is launched into the air at an angle. Its horizontal speed is 30 m/s and its vertical speed is 20 m/s. What is its horizontal speed after three seconds? You can ignore friction and air resistance.
A slanted roof rises at 35° above the horizontal, and the straight-line distance from the top of the roof to the bottom edge is 4.5 m. The roof is covered with ice, so it offers no friction to objects sliding on it. A piece of ice at the top suddenly breaks loose and begins to slide down from rest.(a) How long will it take for the ice to reach the bottom edge of the roof?(b) How fast will the ice be traveling just as it reaches the bottom edge?
An elevator, which weighs 8 tons with its load, is descending with a speed of 900 ft/min. Ifthe load on the cables must not exceed 14 tons, what is the shortest distance in which the elevator can be stopped?

- You throw a baseball straight upward with speed v0. When the ball returns to the point from where you threw it, how does its speed compare to v0 (a) in the absence of air resistance and (b) in the presence of air resistance? Explain.arrow_forward1.You are in a plane that flies horizontally with speed 900 km/h (250 m/s) when an engine falls off. Neglecting air drag, assume it takes 25 seconds for the engine to hit the ground. (a) How high was the plane flying? (b) What is the horizontal distance that the engine covers before hitting the ground? (c) If the plane somehow continuous to fly as if nothing had happened, where is the engine relative to the airplane at the moment the engine hits the ground?arrow_forwardA toad with mass of 280 g leaps into the air to catch a fly. If the toad's jump was at an angle of 35 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and with an initial velocity of 5.1 m/s, what is its speed (in m/s) when it reaches its maximum vertical displacement?arrow_forward
- A plane is initially at rest on the ground. The minimum speed for the plane to take off is 50 meters/sec and the runway is 2 km long. What should be the minimum acceleration of the plane so that it has a successful take off?arrow_forwardA ball is throw hoard from the ground with initial velocity vi= 14 m/s and reaches height of h above the ground before falling back down. Take the upwards direction to be positive. Neglect air resistance. (C) Enter an expression for the maximum height, h, the ball reaches in terms of vf, vi, and a. (D) Calculate the value of h, in meters. (E) Enter an expression for the time it takes for the ball to trace from the ground to the top, delta t, in terms of vi, vf, and a.arrow_forwardSCSU physics and astronomy student club has a recently established tradition of pumpkin drop, from the top of Wick Science Building to the "moat" below street level. Although the "experimental data" have not been made public, there have been rumors of the drop took 2.20 seconds, i.e. falling from rest with negligible air drag. Based on the rumor, how tall is the building from the "moat" to the roof? Ignore air drag or any rotation of pumpkins. Hint: You may assume final position to be zero.arrow_forward
- A large rock is dropped from rest from the edge of a cliff that is 20 m above the surface of the ocean. How long does it take for the rock to hit the water? (Ignore air resistance and assume g=10 m/s2)arrow_forwardA roadrunner is cruising at 14 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 45 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away. If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, what was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the valley?arrow_forwardYou are standing on your balcony in an apartment building. You tossed a coin straight upwards at 4 m/s. Assume the coin leaves your hand at 4 m above ground, how long will it take to strike the ground? Ignore air drag. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.arrow_forward
- Olivia is gazing out a window from the tenth floor of a building when a bucket (dropped by a window washer) passes by. She notes that it hits the ground 1.5 s later. Determine the floor from which the bucket was dropped if each floor is 5 m high and the window is in the middle of the tenth floor. Neglect air friction.arrow_forwardA person driving on I-82 glanced at his phone to read a very important text message. When he looked back up at the road, he saw that the traffic ahead had come to a standstill and he immediately slammed on his brakes. His car created 96.5 m long skid marks before rear-ending another car. Unfortunately, a passenger in the rear-ended car was seriously injured, thus requiring an investigation by the State Patrol. The State Patrol has no proof of distracted driving, however they want to determine if a citation for speeding should be issued. A State Patrol investigator used a 3.9 kg drag sled to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the tires of the car. The drag sled’s spring scale read 28 N when it was pulled along the ground at a constant speed. Use Newton’s Second Law and kinematics to estimate the minimum value of the car’s speed when the driver locked the brakes. (answer: about 83 mi/hr) Note: You do not need the mass of the car to answer this…arrow_forwardA person driving on I-82 glanced at his phone to read a very important text message.
