- A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 18.0 below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and unfortunately the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline for a distance of 30.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 45.0 m above the ocean. Ignore air and road resistance forces.A. . What is the velocity when the car hits the water?arrow_forwardAt the lowest point of the waterfalls, water is moving at a speed of 40.0 meters per second. If the waterfall's height is 22.7 m. What is the water's velocity at the maximum height of the falls? A 36.89 m/s B 22.24 m/s 17.29 m/s D 14.93 m/s E) 33.99 m/sarrow_forward4. At the construction site of a tall building, a worker is in an elevator descending at a constant downwards velocity of 5 m/s. When the elevator is 40 meters above ground level, her friend, standing at ground level, tosses a wrench straight upward with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Take the time when the wrench is tossed as t = 0. For this problem, use g = 10 m/s². a. Draw a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Quantities that are different should be given different symbols, for example y, and Yw. b. Graph the velocities versus time of the elevator and the wrench on the same graph. Label axes of the graph (with units). C. At what time does the wrench and the elevator have the same velocity? 20 10 -10 -20 3 4 time (s) d. Which object (the wrench or elevator) is higher when their velocities are the same? By how much is one object higher than the other at this time? (s/u) kaarrow_forward
- A ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 1 m and lands 5 m away. a. What is the time of flight of the ball? b. What is the initial velocity of the ball?arrow_forwardA rubber ball rebounds to 0.72 of the height from which it has dropped. It is first dropped from aheight of 6 meters onto level ground. a. After 2 bounces, what height does it rebound? Draw a sketch to help you. b. After how many bounces does it first rebound to a height less than 1 meter? (deals with sequences and series)arrow_forward3.) 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 to answer the following questions. You can use a spreadsheet but show your sample calculations. 3a.) Calculate the height, y(t), and velocity, vy(t), at 0.50 second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Show your results in a table and put the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m). 3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50 second intervals. Label the height and the speed at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height. Include the velocity vectors for 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. Include this velocity vector in your diagram.arrow_forward
