An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.2 m/s. A child on a bridge, 82 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? m
A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 23 m/s at an angle θ = 16 ° below horizontal. The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. A) With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground? B) If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different? If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different?
You throw a ball from the ground level at an angle of 0 = 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball lands on top of a cliff that has a height of h=10.0 m. When you release the ball, it is traveling at a speed of 25.0 m/s. How long does it take for the ball to land on top of the cliff?
A juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 4.62 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball upward with an upward speed of v 0 so that it just reaches the ceiling. At the instant when the first ball is at ceiling, the juggler throws a second ball upward with 4v 0 /3 velocity. At what distance above the juggler’s hand do they pass each other?
1. While hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, you come to the top of a cliff that is 76.8 m high. You throw a stone from the cliff, giving it an initial velocity of 24.6 m/s at 39 above the horizontal. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone land? 2. During a war between two countries, a shell is fired from a canon perched horizontally on a cliff that is 41m above a ground. The speed of the shell is 74.6 m/s and it is fired horizontally (a) Determine the horizontal range of the shell. (b) Determine the velocity of the shell as it strikes the ground. A gym teacher is fired from a cannon into a net (as part of a circus act) that is situated 4.0 m above the cannon and some distance from it. The cannon is elevated at 46.02 to the horizontal and the teacher's speed at launch is 23.9 m/s. 3. (a) Find the horizontal distance from the cannon where the net needs to placed in order for the teacher to land in it. (b) Calculate the teacher's velocity as he lands in the net. 4. Messi…

Problem 6: An airplane takes off and flies upward at an angle of 23° with a constant speed of 256 m/s. While the plane is flying upward, a piece of the engine falls off when the plane reaches a height of 880 m. (While not part of the problem, assume the plane eventually lands safely.) Part (a) How long does it take the piece of the engine to reach the ground? Give your answer in seconds. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. t = Part (b) What is the horizontal distance covered by the piece of the engine before it lands? Give your answer in meters.

A rocket is fired at a speed of 86.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an 7.92- Im high wall, which is located 16.0 m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall? Number i Units

A fish swimming in a horizontal place has velocity v = (4.01 +1.0))m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a rock is = (10.0-4.0)m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20 sec its velocity is v = (20.01-5.0/)m/s. A) What are the components of the acceleration? B) What is the direction of the acceleration with respect to unit vector ? C) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t=2.5 s, and in what direction is it moving? 4) A stone is thrown straight
A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 20.1 m/s at an upward angle of 48.2°. A player 53.9 m away in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at that instant. What must be his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground? Neglect air resistance.Use g=9.81 m/s². Number i Unit m/s
Your little sister is running to the park in your neighborhood at a speed of 3.90 m/s when you suddenly realize she left her favorite playground ball behind. You throw her ball horizontally out the window of your apartment which is at a height of 45.0 m above the street and directly above the sidewalk. You throw the ball 8.00 seconds after she has passed below your window and she catches the ball! a) Ignoring air resistance, what is the initial speed that you must throw her ball so she can catch it just before it reaches the ground? b) How far down the sidewalk from the window is your sister when she catches her ball?
