- 44. A metal ramp 6.00 m long is tilted 10.0° and is used to load and unload a moving van. Suppose a 20.0 kg box is pushed up the ramp and it slides with a friction coefficient of 0.30. The ramp can be viewed as a "machine" where the useful output is the potential energy gain of the box and the input is the physical work done by the person doing the pushing. (a) Determine the efficiency of the ramp. (b) Determine the ratio of the force needed to lift the box without the ramp to the force needed to push it along the ramp (this is called the mechanical advantage).arrow_forwardAn Orc archer below a 54 meter high tower (different height from the wall from problem 3) fires his crossbow at 45 m/s at a 53.1 degree angle from horizontal. What is the closest that the orc can stand to the tower to exactly hit a target on the top of the tower? What is the farthest that the orc can stand to the tower to exactly hit a target on the top of the tower? What is the highest point (above the tower, not the ground!) that the orc’s arrow can reach firing at this velocity and angle?arrow_forwardA projectile is fired from an angle of 35degrees above the horizontal with a speed of 180m/s. Calculate the height to which it rises, the time of flight, and the horizontal range.arrow_forward
- A ball is launched from the top of an 24.8 m tall building at an angle = 26.0° above horizontal with a speed of 2.85 m/s. What is the ball's horizontal distance (in m) from the building at the time it reaches the ground? Use g = 9.81 m/s?). (These are my steps but I don’t know what to do next. The outcome should be 6.1. I did 2.13*2.562 and got 5.46. Don’t know what I did wrong)arrow_forwardThe velocity of a small plane is 230km/h [N35E] when the wind is blowing at 75km/h [W25S]. Determine the velocity of the plane relative to the ground. (170km/h [N22E])arrow_forwardAn airplane has an air speed of 267 miles per hour and a compass heading of 140°. A steady wind of 54 miles per hour is blowing in the direction of 183°. What is the plane's true speed relative to the ground? What is its compass heading relative to the ground? W. 270° ... The groundspeed is miles per hour. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) 270 240 300 320 072 N, 0° 340 1 opz 081 091 S, 180° 09 90 1 100 120 140 E, 90°arrow_forward
- An arrow is shot from a height of 1.95 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 33 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 3.85 s later. What is the height H of the cliff in m? What is the maximum height reached by the arrow along its trajectory in meters? What is the arrow's speed just before hitting the cliff in m/s?arrow_forwardA plane flies directly West at a velocity of 250.km/hr if there is no wind. What will be the plane’s resultant velocity to an observer on the ground if the plane encounters a constant 40.0km/hr wind from the East ?arrow_forwardA basketball is thrown at 20m/s at an angle of 65 degrees above the horizontal. The ball leaves the thrower's hand at a height of 1.8m. At what height will it strikes a wall 10 m away? What would the height be if "Vo" were 30m/s?arrow_forward
- You are stationary on the ground and are watching a bird fly horizontally towards you at a rate of 1 m/s. The bird is located 20 m above your head. How fast does the angle of elevation of your head change when the horizontal distance between you and the bird is 50 m? (Leave your answer as an exact number.)arrow_forwardYour bow can fire arrows at 70 ??. You shoot an arrow straight up into the air. After 1 second, you shoot anotherarrow into the air.a) If you are shooting the arrows from 2 m above the ground, how far above the ground do the arrowscollide? (Answer: 251 m)arrow_forwardAgent Tim, flying horizontally at a constant 350 km/h in a low-flying helicopter, wants to drop a small explosive onto a master criminal's automobile which is traveling at a constant 225 km/h on a level highway 95.0 m below. At what distance behind the automobile should Agent Tim be when the bomb is released? Include a complete diagram of the situation.arrow_forward
