Transcribed Image Text:Noninertial frame projectile. A device shoots a small ball horizontally with speed 0.227 m/s from height h = 0.851 m above an elevator
floor. The ball lands at distance d from the base of the device directly below the ejection point. The vertical acceleration of the elevator
can be controlled. What is the elevator's acceleration magnitude a if d is (a) 14.0 cm, (b) 20.0 cm, and (c) 7.50 cm?

- You built a pinball machine that has a banked circular track with radius 0.34 m. The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game. You fire pin balls at a constant speed into the track and adjust the banking angle until it works. The banking angle is 21 degrees. Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s? Hint: I have a video on this problem about swing pendulum but the results are very similar, except a string length was given instead of path radius and tension was present instead of normal force. Assume friction is negligible.arrow_forwardA rocket starts from rest and moves upward from thesurface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accelerationof the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the+y-direction is upward. What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s?arrow_forwardBefore jumping from the bridge, Martin throws his water bottle to a friend standing on the bank of the lake. The bridge is 7.0 m high. The friend is standing on the bank 15.0 m from the base of the bridge with their hand 1.0m above the ground. What speed must Martin throw the bottle horizontally for it to reach his friend's hand?arrow_forward

The average distance from the center of Jupiter to the center of Callisto is 1.95×109 m.1.95×109 m. What is the acceleration ?a of Callisto due to its motion around Jupiter?arrow_forwardIn an article on the use of the sling as a weapon, the author states that a skilled slinger can sling a rock a distance of about 384 m. What is the minimum speed the rock must have when it leaves the sling to travel exactly 384 m? To solve this problem it will be necessary to first determine the required launch angle of the projectile. What launch angle must the projectile have in order to find the minimum speed required to achieve a given horizontal distance?arrow_forward
- The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.54 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.392 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2 30.0 m/s^2 20.0 m/s^2arrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 88 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 60 ft. Determine the distance h by which the ball clears the top of the cliff and the time t after release for the ball to land at B. Also, calculate the magnitude of the impact velocity vg. Neglect air resistance and the small horizontal motion of the ball. Answers: h = i ft t = i sec VB = i ft/secarrow_forwardRecently a space x launch vehicle was coasting at a constant velocity of 15m/s in the + y direction relative to a space station . The pilot of the vehicle fired a special RCS thruster which causes it to accelerate at 8m/s^2 in the +x direction . After 9.1 s the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster . After RCS thruster is turned off find the magnitude of the vehicles velocity in +x direction.arrow_forward
- A projectile is launched with an initial velocity 38 m/s and an angle from the horizontal of 45°. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². Assume the projectile is launched from the surface of the Earth. i.e., at y (0) = 0. then the altitude of the projectile as a function of time is: y(t) = gt² + vo sin(0)t Where vo is the initial velocity. What is the maximum altitude achieved by the projectile?arrow_forwardA small rock is projected from the ground with the velocity with magnitude V0 and direction 53.1 degrees above the horizontal.
