Question
- A rocket was launched to hit the terrorist’ hideout at a velocity of 15 000 ft/s at a target 300 mi away.
- At what angle must it be fired to hit the target?
- How long after it is fired will the target be hit?
- If the terrorist discovered the point to eliminate them 2 minutes after the rocket was launched, will they escape alive? Explain.

- An airplane flies horizontally at a speed of 535 km/h and drops a crate that falls to the horizontal ground below. Neglect air resistance. If the altitude of the plane was 728m, then how far in meters did the crate move as it fell to the ground?arrow_forwardType III.) Imagine that two plains are at rest at Kansas City International Airport (a.k.a MCI). At 11 AM, Plane A leaves MCI and heads north with a speed of 350 miles per hour. At 12:38 PM, Plane B leaves MCI and heads east with an unknown speed. At 1:00 PM the two planes are 900 miles apart. Determine the speed of Plane B.arrow_forward2. Your friend is on the top of a sheer vertical cliff 14 meters high and you are on the ground below. Your friend throws a ball at an angle of 49° above the horizontal, and with an initial speed of 9.2 m/s. How long is the ball in the air? How far from the base of the cliff should you be in order to catch the ball1? Neglect air resistance. (The situation is as shown in Fig. 6.3.) 3. Starting from rest, a 62 g ball rolled down the tube like the one to be used during this experiment and stopped exactly at the exit. The initial and final ends of the tube were 109 Ocm and 101 cm above the floor, respectively. What was the frictional energy loss? If the tube is rotated so that the heights of the ends of the tube are now 124 cm and 88 cm above the floor, what is the exit velocity of the ball? 4. If the ball in the latter part of Problem 3 leaves the tube at an angle of 25° from the horizontal, what is its time of flight and range? 5. What would be the answers to Problem 4 if there were no…arrow_forward
- 21. A rock is dropped from the top of a 45-meter tower and at the same time, a ball is thrown from the top of the tower in ahorizontal direction. Air resistance is negligible. The ball and the rock hit the level ground a distance of 30 meters apart. Thehorizontal velocity of the ball is most nearly:A) 5 m/sB) 10 m/sC) 14.1 m/sD) 20 m/sE) 28.3 m/sarrow_forwardI am having trouble trying to figure out the exact equation to set this up for.
