Question
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of v0 and an elevation angle of zero degrees. If the projectile were launched with the same initial velocity from the surface of Earth (g=9.80 m/s2) as from the surface of Mars (g=3.72 m/s2), which of the following would be true?
a. Both the time of flight and the range would be larger on Mars.
b. Both the time of flight and the range would be larger on Earth.
c. The time of flight is greater on Earth but the range would be greater on Mars.
d. The time of flight is greater on Mars but the range would be greater on Earth.
e. The time of flight and the range would be the same on both planets.

- H6. A skier/snowboarder starts at rest at the top of a snowy (friction-free) hill with height h1. After the bottom of this hill there is a small “jump” hill. The top of the jump has height h2 and a curvature of radius R. What is the minimum height of the starting hill, h1min, so that the skier/snowboarder jumps or “catches air” at the top of hill 2? Solve for h1min in terms of h2, R, and g. Hint: if the skier/snowboarder jumps, he/she/they loose contact with the snowy ground.arrow_forwardA boy on a train moving at 20.0 m/s relative to the Earth throws a ball horizontally at a velocity of 30.0 m/s relative to the train. 1.

In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for a rocket's position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t) = (RE3/2 + 3*(g/2)1/2 REt)2/3 where RE is the radius of the Earth (6.38 ✕ 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface (9.81 m/s2). (a) Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). (Use the following as necessary: g, RE, and t. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)arrow_forward
