69) A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable

A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.2 m have been recorded. If a frog jumps 2.2 m and the launch angle is 45, find (a) the frogs launch speed and (b) the time the frog spends in the air. Ignore air resistance.
3) You throw a ball straight up. The ball leaves your hand at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s (~45 mph). Ignore air resistance and use g = 10.0 m/s2. You can use a spreadsheet but show a sample calculation for the velocity and the position at t = 1.5 s. 3a.) Calculate and make a table of the height, y(t), and y-velocity, vy(t), at 0.50-second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Your table should have the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m) Remember to add the ysubscripts when the motion is along the y-axis. 3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50-second intervals. Label the time, y-coordinate,and the velocity at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height.Include the instantaneous velocity vectors at each time and location of the ball. 3c.) Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground and the final velocity of the ball just as it hits the ground.…
A 'polish cannon' is used to launch a tennis ball upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 60 m above the ground. The tennis ball rises, then falls and hits the ground. Ignore air resistance. If the initial velocity of the ball is 37.9 m/s, then the total amount of time until the ball strikes the ground is closest to Group of answer choices A) 8.5 s B) 9.7 s C) 9.4 s D) 9.1 s E) 8.8 s
rocket, on an unknown planet, launches straight upward. Starting from rest, the rocket accelerates until it reaches 25 m/s then maintains that velocity until its boosters shut off. It eventually falls back to the planet. ASSUME: Starting at t = 0, the rocket accelerates upwards a total distance of 10 m, where it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s The moment it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s, it travels 30 m upward at a constant speed, then the engines cut off. The moment the engines cut off: the rocket is in free fall From the time it initially launches (t = 0) to the time it lands back on the planet is 7 s The acceleration due to gravity is constant on this planet. HOWEVER you may not assume g = 10 m/s2 Air resistance is negligible DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on this planet
I need help with this problem A student in Physics 211 decides to do an experiment. They travel to a city and climb to the roof of a building that is 3.0 x 102 m tall. Then, at the same instant, they drop one rock while a second rock is thrown downward with an initial speed of 16 m/s. Assume both rocks experience negligible air resistance while falling. How much EARLIER does the thrown rock strike the ground? A) 1.1 s B) 1.5 s C) 1.4 s D) they land exactly at the same time
You throw an object directly up into the air and then catch it when it comes back down. It hits your hand at a speed of 7 m/s on the way down. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Use a kinematic approach.
An object slides off a frictionless, horizontal table from a height of 1.40 m above the floor. Itstrikes the floor a distance of 1.88 m from the base of the table.a) Calculate the speed with which the object leaves the table.b) Calculate the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the object just before it strikes the floor.
An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.65 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 7.4m/s from a height of 1.55m above the ground. a) will the rock reach the top? b) if so what is its speed at the top? if not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top? c) find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 7.4 m/s and moving between the same two points. d) does the change in speed of the downward moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations? e) why does this agree or not agree.
1.) A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 2.50 s. You may ignore air resistance, so the brick is in free fall. (a) How tall, in meters, is the building? (b) What is the magnitude of the brick’s velocity just before it reaches the ground? (c) Sketch a − t, v − t, and y − t graphs for the brick's motion. 2.) Suppose the block in Problem No. 1 has a rubber bottom, and the ramp is made of concrete. The approximate friction coefficients of rubber on dry concrete are μs = 0.9 and μk = 0.68. At what angle α will the block start to slide down the incline?
