A skateboarder is attempting to skate through a vertical loop of radius r = 7.5 m. He skates down a ramp and is launched into the loop by an inclined plane that makes an angle of θ = 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal. a. If the skateboarder begins from rest how high does the ramp he starts from have to be so that he does not fall at the top of the loop? Give your answer in meters.

The surface of a pool table is h=0.710 m from the floor. The winner of a competition wants to know if he has broken the world speed record for the break shot of 32 mph (about 14.3 m/s). A. If the winner’s ball landed d=4.95 m from the table’s edge, calculate the speed of his break shot v0. Assume friction is negligible. B. At what speed v1 did his pool ball hit the ground? Image is attached below. Please show all work.
A pendulum has a length l (the rope is massless). The mass of the object suspended from the pendulum is m. With rope horizontal θ = 90o When it makes an angle of degrees, we first leave the object at no speed. Any friction can be neglected. Gravitational acceleration g. Give your answers in terms of l, m and g. When = 0o, what is the tension in the rope?
QC A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other A wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tan- gentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the Figure P7.8 Problems 8 and 69. tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tan- gent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheel's angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant).
To celebrate the start of October, you want to win a pumpkin catapult contest, which requires you to build a catapult and launch a pumpkin from it. You build your catapult so that it releases the pumpkin when the catapult arm is exactly vertical, as shown in the picture. a. Assume the pumpkin is launched when the catapult arm isexactly vertical from a height of R = 3 m, as shown. For how long is the pumpkin in the air? b. What is the pumpkin’s speed just before it hits the ground?

This is a Dynamics of Rigid Bodies subject. Thank you. A projectile is launched upward at an initial slope of 4 vertical and 3 horizontal. The ground sloped downward such that the projectile hits the ground at a point 2 m lower than that of the origin. The maximum height of the flight is attained at a horizontal distance of 8 m away from origin. a. What is the initial velocity of the projectile?b. What is the total horizontal distance travelled by the projectile?c. What is the maximum height attained by the projectile measured from the origin?
A youth of mass m = 22 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the upper bar of the swing set to the seat is L = 4.2 m. The child is attempting to swing all the way around in a full circle. a. At what minimum speed, in meters per second, must the child be moving at the top of the circular path in order to make a full circle? b. Assuming the child is traveling at the speed found in part a, what is their apparent weight, Wa in newtons, at the top of their path (At the top, the child is upside down) c. If the velocity at the bottom is the same as the velocity at the top from part a, what is the child's apparent weight, in newtons, at the very bottom of the path?
A friend is holding a potato gun at a 40 degree angle from the very bottom. It sends out a potato which travels a horizontal distance of 850m. a. How long does it take the potato to hit the ground? b. Your friend has unfortunately not so much as held the potato gun as wedged it in the ground, supporting it vertically but not horizontally. As a result, the bottom end that they hold doesn't move, but the top of the gun moves backward in a circle due to the torque of the recoil. If the potato gun is 2 meters long, and your friend's face is also about 2 meters above the ground, so that it collides with the potato gun once the gun has become vertical, then how quickly is the gun moving when it hits your friend's face?
Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of 2.0 km and a mass of 0.50 × 10¹3 kg hits the earth (6.0 x 1024 kg) with an impact speed of 4.4 x 10 m/s. ▾ Part A What is the earth's recoil speed after such a collision?
