- An industrious chipmunk creates an acorn catapult. This acorn catapult fires a 0.00543 kg acorn at an initial speed of 21.8 m/s. The catapult can be moved to any horizontal distance from the target and it can be set to shoot the acorn at any angle between 14° and 86.6°. The chipmunk will adjust the distance and angle until he gets a shot just right, and he deems a shot to be successful when the target is hit at the moment the acorn reaches its apex d) If the acorn hits the target and bounces back, losing 24.2% of its speed in the collision, what is the magnitude of the change in the acorn's momentum from immediately before the collision to immediately after the collision? e) If the duration of the collision described in part D is 3.01 x 10^-5 s, what is the magnitude of the average force the acorn imparts onto the target?arrow_forwardA boat sets sail from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water.

When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf=31.35m/s at an angle θf=25.5∘ below the horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. Create an expression for the ball’s initial horizontal velocity, v0,x, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity. Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the ball’s initial velocity. Find the angle above the horizontal, in degrees, at which the ball left the bat.arrow_forward
- An engineering student throws a calculator straight up to a COVID-quarantined friend, who is leaning out a window 5.12 m above. The friend catches the calculator 1.43 s later and immediately sanitizes it and her hands. Taking up as the positive direction, find the calculator's velocity v just before it was caught.arrow_forwardDanielle launches a ball off of a platform of height h with velocity vo at an angle 0 above the horizontal. A wall with a ball-sized hole a height H above the floor, with H > h, is a horizontal distance L = 24.0 m away from Danielle. The difference in height between H and h is one-twelfth of L, and the square of the magnitude of the velocity, v, is three-halves of the product gL. H 1 H – h = h 3 L Determine the two values of 0 that ensure the ball passes through the hole. Submit the larger angle as 0, and the smaller angle as 02.arrow_forwardThe citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) kmarrow_forward
- The banded archerfish is a species of fish that lives in mangrove estuaries in Asia and Oceania. It has a unique and highly effective hunting strategy: it shoots an incredibly precise stream of water out of its mouth at almost ten meters per second, knocking insects and other small animals into the water from nearby branches! Pom Fbug (t) Ө = Our hero, a hungry archerfish, has spotted a big, delicious bug sitting on a branch a height ħ above the surface of the water. The archerfish can shoot its water jet at a speed of vo. The archerfish wants to knock the bug sideways off of the branch, so it decides to shoot so that its water jet is moving horizontally at the moment when it strikes the bug. The final goal of this problem is to find the horizontal distance, d, from the branch, and the angle above horizontal, 0, at which archerfish should shoot. d (a) What are the position and velocity of the water droplet as a function of time and the position and velocity of the bug as a function of…arrow_forwardA jetliner is moving at a speed of 245 m/s.

The hole is only 100m away from the tee, and it is also 12m lower. Champion golfer Shooter McGavin hits a 9-iron at an angle of 50◦ with respect to the horizontal, and lands the ball right in the hole. Assume there is no wind or air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s^2. (sin 50◦ = 0.766, cos 50◦ = 0.643, tan 50◦ = 1.19, sin 45◦ = 0.707, cos 45◦ = 0.707, tan 45◦ = 1.00). What is the initial velocity of the ball? How long was the ball in the air? What was the maximum height? If Shooter had misjudged the hole, and hit the ball with the same velocity but at an angle of 45◦ instead, by how much would he have overshot the hole?arrow_forward

The initial velocity of the spider is 0.820 m/s at an angle of 31.0° above the table, and it lands on the magazine 0.0610s after leaving the table. Ignore air resistance. How thick is the magazine?
