Question
An airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of h as shown in the figure. If the ball lands on the ground a horizontal distance equal to the height h from the release point, find the speed v of the plane in terms of h and g. Neglect any effects due to air resistance. Note that this type of question is to be solved symbolically, ie, using only the symbols h and g, instead of plugging in numbers.

- Hi, I have one more follow-up question regarding a similar problem where I need to find the height: In a rollercoaster ride a passenger car at the top of the first hill is travelling at 3.5 m/s. The carthen descends on rails to the bottom of the slope and then goes up the second hill where the speed is 10 m/s. Find the difference in height between the first and second hill. (Result 4.47m) Attached is the formula I tried to use, however, I get a different result so I am definitely doing something wrong. Online I didn't find a similar problem so I am asking here as a last chance. Can you help?arrow_forwardHow would I begin to solve this problem? 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_forwardThis problem will involve deriving a formula or two for a projectile launched from one height and angle and landing at a different height on Earth. Begin with a projectile launched at angle 0 above horizontal from a height y₁ with initial velocity Vo. The projectile lands at a point with height y₂. These are the given quantities: vo, 0, y₁, y2 and g. Construct formulae for each of the following, as. a function of given quantities the horizontal distance traveled. the maximum height reached. the time taken. the angle of impact. (find the final velocity components first).arrow_forward
- You have put a sonar device at the top of a frictionless inclined plane, as shown in the diagram below. That device allows you to measure the distance an object is from the device, as well as the speed and the acceleration of that object. If we decide that the origin (h = 0) is at the sonar device, we want to know what the height change is as we slide down the incline. 0 For an angle below the horizontal of 6.46, we see that our object has slid a distance 1.13 m, as measured along the incline itself. Calculate the height change in meters - and report your answer as a negative number. (This value would be useful for calculating the change in gravitational potential energy, as we will do in the lab.) h=o 10% O i 26 QUATU 99+ hp X 55 83°F 3:11 PM 10/16/2022 Ctrl 0arrow_forwardIn my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0. The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ. Any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this problem for quite a while and I am not making progress.arrow_forwardAn object is moving in a circle of radius 10 cm centered on the origin in the xy-plane at a constant speed of 5 m/s.
