- garden hose sprays a burst of water horizontally from 1.6 m above level ground. It hits a fence 2.1 m away, horizontally, at a height 0.93 m above the ground. What was the initial speed of the burst of water?arrow_forwardOne 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 10.6 m/s. The first snowball is thrown at an angle of 56◦ 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 2arrow_forwardSuppose the position vector for a particle is given as a function of time by r(t) = x(t)î + y(t)ĵ, with x(t) = at + b and y(t) = ct2 + d, where a = 1.40 m/s, b = 1.50 m, c = 0.117 m/s2, and d = 1.12 m. %3D (a) Calculate the average velocity during the time interval from t = 2.15 s to t = 4.10 s. v = m/s (b) Determine the velocity at t = 2.15 s. v = m/s Determine the speed at t = 2.15 s. m/sarrow_forward
- An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. A child on a bridge, 66 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone?arrow_forwardWhile exploring the canopy of the rainforest in equatorial South America, Anastasia falls from a branch 35.0 meters high. Exactly 1.3 seconds later Joe falls from the same branch. How high above the ground is Joe when Anastasia splats into the mud below?

Treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range, in meters, obtainable by a person if he or she has a take-off speed of 8.2 m/s? Assume the motion is over level ground and the initial velocity makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal.arrow_forward
