Question
The roller-coaster track shown is contained in a vertical plane. The portion of track between A and B is straight and horizontal, while the portions to the left of A and to the right of B have radii of curvature as indicated. A car is traveling at a speed of 72 km/h when the brakes are suddenly applied, causing the wheels of the car to slide on the track (μk = 0.20). Determine the initial deceleration of the car if the brakes are applied as the car (a) has almost reached A, (b) is traveling between A and B, (c) has just passed B.

- A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone over the edge at an angle 0 above the horizontal. Ignoring the effects of air resistance, which of the following statements must be true? (There may be more than one correct answer). A plot of the horizontal position x vs. time t will have a constant and positive slope The horizontal range of the stone equals vo2sin(20)/g There is no point in the stone's motion in which the stone's speed matches its initial speed. A plot of the vertical velocity component vy vs. time t will have a constant and negative slope When the stone reaches its maximum height, its velocity will be zeroarrow_forwardThe vertical axis of these plots can be x, v or a.

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_forward
- Please answer all question parts: A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 97 m and a takeoff speed 72 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.3 m/s2 at 33° with respect to the horizontal. (Assume that the F-35's initial direction along the deck of the aircraft carrier is the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) (a) What is the initial acceleration (in m/s2) of the F-35 on the deck of the aircraft carrier to make it airborne? (Enter the magnitude.) (b) Write the position (in m) and velocity (in m/s) of the F-35 in unit vector notation from the point it leaves the deck of the aircraft carrier. (Use the following as necessary: t.)

The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 3.21 m/s2 for a distance of 45.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 20.0 m above the ocean. (a) Find the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean. (b) Find the length of time the car is in the air.arrow_forwardThe kingda ka roller coaster in New Jersey is the world's tallest ride of it's kind.
