Question
Three-dimensional motion Consider the motion of the following objects. Assume the x-axis points east, the y-axis points north, the positive z-axis is vertical and opposite g, the ground is horizontal, and only the gravitational force acts on the object unless otherwise stated.
a. Find the velocity and position vectors, for t ≥ 0.
b. Make a sketch of the trajectory.
c. Determine the time of flight and range of the object.
d. Determine the maximum height of the object.
A golf ball is hit east down a fairway with an initial velocity of
⟨50, 0, 30⟩ m/s. A crosswind blowing to the south produces an
acceleration of the ball of -0.8 m/s2.

- 4. Swims across Lake Erie are officially sanctioned by the Lake Erie Open Water Swimming Association. Your friend on the swim team wants to swim across the lake. The plan is that your friend will swim to Presque Isle starting at a location at Long Point, Ontario which is 24 miles due north of Presque Isle. You will be navigating a boat with a GPS. Your friend can maintain a speed of 1.80 mph in still water. All during the swim you observe that objects drifting in the water are moving at 0.70 mph to the east due to the current. a. What bearing should you maintain? That is what direction should you point the boat to reach Presque Isle? Give your answer relative to a compass direction (i.e., 30° north of west). Hint, you want your net velocity vector to be straight south. b. How long did it take your friend to swim across Lake Erie? c. What is the addition amount of time that your friend will need to swim compared to if there was no current (assume your friend swims at a constant rate)?arrow_forwardAn airplane takes off and flies upward at an angle of 21° with a constant speed of 262 m/s.
