The cork from a champagne bottle slips through the hands of a waiter opening it, moving with an initial velocity v0 = 15.6 m/s at an angle θ = 77.4° above horizontal. A diner is sitting a horizontal distance d away when this happens. Assume the cork leaves the waiter’s hands at the same vertical level as the diner and that the cork falls back to this vertical level when it reaches the diner. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the cork's initial position.
Part (a) Calculate the time, td in seconds, for the cork to reach the diner.
Part (b) Reacting quickly to avoid being struck, the diner moves 2.00 m horizontally directly toward the waiter opening the champagne bottle. Determine the horizontal distance, d in meters, between the waiter and the diner at the time the cork reaches where the diner had previously been sitting.

- An apple grows on a tree located on a 42° hill with respect to the horizontal. The apple falls, hitting the ground with a downward velocity at 6.87 m/s. The apple's impact velocity can be resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the hill.

The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.351 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 33.2 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.arrow_forwardA student throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 24° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. The target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. Determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from these two expressions: t = d/( v0 cos(θ) ) y(t) = ( v0 sin(θ) ) t - ( g t2 )/( 2 )arrow_forward

The owl is at that time is 4 m west and 10.5 m above the center of the 34 cm diameter nest, and flying east at 3.1 m/s at an angle 29° below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Part (a) Calculate the horizontal position of the mouse when it has fallen 10.5 m, assuming the nest is at the origin of a coordinate system with east being positive.
