Question
On the set of a new Hollywood movie, a 74.1-kg stunt actor (Max Payne) is tossed straight out of a helicopter hovering (stationary) at a height of 43.4 meters. The stunt actor is thrown from the helicopter at a speed of 4.17 m/s, eventually landing in the water below.
Determine the stunt actor's impact speed and assume negligible air resistance. You can use the approximation that g = 10 m/s2.

- A hot air balloon begins to rise from rest. The lift on the balloon due to the buoyant force is 5000 N. In order to minimize the time until the passenger is reunited with their cell phone, what should the horizontal component of the passenger’s velocity be so that they land directly on their phone which is initially 3 m away in the horizontal direction?arrow_forwardAs illustrated in the figure, consider a soccer player kicking a stationary ball of mass m = 0.5 kg. Assuming that the air resistance is negligible, the ball undergoes a projectile motion (shown in figure). It is recorded that the angle of release of the ball is 0 = 25.2° and the maximum height reached by the ball is h = 4.5 m. If the time during which the foot of the soccer player remained in contact with the ball is At = determine: (a) The speed of release, V, of the ball 0.12 s, (b) The horizontal distance, I, between the initial position of the ball and the landing point (c) The momentum, p, of the ball at the instant of takeoff (d) The magnitude of force, F, applied on the ball by the soccer player Уarrow_forwardAt a pool, a 3.26 kg life ring is thrown by a lifeguard to a struggling swimmer.

- An action figure is placed on a toy car, which is initially at rest. Then the action figure moves through 4 time intervals: The car is pushed until it hits a wall. Then, the action figure slides down a ramp. The action figure flies off of the ramp and hits a wall at the peak of its trajectory, momentarily coming to a complete stop. Finally, the action figure falls into the toybox and comes to rest. Assume that all surfaces, except the final wall, have nonzero coefficients of static and kinetic friction. For each time interval, including the endpoints, determine whether the total work done on the action figure by gravity (?g), normal forces (?N), and friction (?f) is positive, negative, or zero. Neglect drag. The motion of a toy army guy action figure is shown in four different time intervals. The toy is stiff and has a base for standing upright. During interval 1, shown in the upper left, the army guy stands upright upon a car initially at rest. The car is pushed to the right,…arrow_forwardA dated box of dates, of mass 7.1 kg, is sent sliding up a frictionless ramp at an angle of 0 to the horizontal. The figure here gives, as a function of time t, the component Vy of the box's velocity along an x axis that extends directly up the ramp. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the box from the ramp? v, (m/s) 2 t (s) -2 Number T66.24 Unit N the tolerance is +/-2%- Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work 11:55 PM A ENG o search 4/4/2021 ASUS pause break insert delete |home prt sc 13) 2#3 backs 9.

In a laboratory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.15 g, its speed before entering the branch was 212 m/s, and its penetration depth was 17 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick? Number Unitsarrow_forward
