Question
Dock diving is a great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 8.82 m/s at an angle of 28°with respect to the surface of the water. (Assume that the +x axis is in the direction of the run and the +y axis is up.)
(a) If Sheba begins at a height of 0.76 m above the surface of the water, through what horizontal distance does she travel before hitting the surface of the water? Answer In m please
(b) Write an expression for the velocity of Sheba, in component form, the instant before she hits the water. (Express your answer in vector form.)
(c) Determine the peak height above the water reached by Sheba during her jump. ? m

Read Itarrow_forwardA golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by x = 17.0t and y = 4.20t − 4.90t2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using the unit vectors î and ĵ. (Give the answer in terms of t.) = m By taking derivatives, do the following. (Give the answers in terms of t.) (b) obtain the expression for the velocity vector as a function of time = m/s(c) obtain the expression for the acceleration vector as a function of time = m/s2(d) Next use unit-vector notation to write expressions for the position, the velocity, and the acceleration of the golf ball at t = 3.24 s. = m = m/s = m/s2arrow_forwardA golf ball is hit upward, with an initial velocity of 47 meters per second, at an angle of 25° with respect to the horizontal. The ball is hit from a height of 8 meters above the ground. The horizontal distance x from the starting point and the height y above the ground of the ball t seconds after it is hit are given by the parametric equations below. x=(v0cosθ)t y=−4.9t^2+(v0sinθ)t+h Here v0 is the initial velocity, θ is the initial angle with respect to the horizontal, and h is the initial height. Use the equations to answer the following questions. (a)How long is the ball in the air before it first touches the ground?Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. _____ seconds (b)What is the horizontal distance the ball travels before it first touches the ground?Round your answer to the nearest whole number. _____ metersarrow_forward
- Dock diving is great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 9.02 m/s at an angle of 25.0° with respect to the surface of the water. Sheba begins at a height of 0.840 m above the surface of the water. What is her total time of flight up until the instant before she hits the water? Express your answer in seconds.arrow_forwardYou want to know the height of a cliff so you throw a rock off the edge with an initial speed of 24.7 m/s inclined at an angle 31.2° above the horizontal. You have a friend that records that it takes 4.6 s for the rock to hit the bottom of the canyon after it is thrown. For the following questions, call up the positive y direction and make the positive x direction horizontal and towards the direction the rock is thrown. If you ignore air resistance, what is the y component of the velocity of the rock right before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardYou can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building with a velocity v at an angle 0 with respect to the horizontal. Let the building be 54.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be 9.10 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 10.5 m/s. Choose your coordinates such that the positive y-axis is upward, and the x-axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where the ball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball's maximum height above the ground and the time it takes to reach the maximum height. maximum height above ground time to reach maximum height (b) Repeat your calculations choosing the origin at the base of the building. maximum height above ground time to reach maximum heightarrow_forward
- A plane flies 488 km east from city A to city B in 41.0 min and then 883 km south from city B to city C in 1.20 h. For the total trip, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the plane's displacement, the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of its average velocity, and (e) its average speed? Give your angles as positive or negative values of magnitude less than 180 degrees, measured from the +x direction (east).arrow_forwardCalculate the y-component of the acceleration vector a1, which has a magnitude of 26 m/s2 and has an angle below the positive x-axis of 29 degrees.arrow_forwardA placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 26.1 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 18.9 m/s at an angle 8 above the ground. Between what two angles, 0₁ and 02, will the ball clear the 3.05-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec 8=1/(cos 8) and sec²0-1+tan²0.) Marrow_forward
