- This is part of a lesson plan for the calculus class I am taking. The solution is in the textbook, but I do not understand where they came up with the answers. I am looking for a different way to solve it so I can try to understand for my test.arrow_forwardStewie threw a ball onto a building with a flat roof, as shown in the diagram above. The ball left her hands with a speed of v0 = 14.8 m/s, at an angle of θ = 75 degrees above horizontal. Assume air resistance and other sources of friction were negligible, so the ball moved only under the influence of gravity, with g = 9.81 m/s2. The roof has a height of hR = 6.6 meters, and the ball left Stewie's hands at a height of hB = 1.8 meters above the level ground. Stewie was standing a distance of d1 =2.9 meters from the building. How far, in meters, did the ball land from the nearest edge of the building? (This is the distance d2 in the diagram above.)arrow_forwardDae-hyun, a man of mass 72 kg, steps from a table 92 cm to the floor below. Assume that his velocity is zero as he leaves the table. As he lands, he bends his knees so that he decelerates to a final speed of zero over a distance of 35 cm. (a) What is Dae-hyun's speed just as he starts to hit the floor? Type your answer here (b) As he decelerates, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on him by the floor? Assume constant acceleration. x10 to the power of Type your answer here Type your answer here (You may need to involve some kinematics to solve this one!) m/s N on Dae-hyun.arrow_forward
- I don't understand your answer. so you started answer question b before question a ? also isn't the initial velocity should be V0 = 25 m/s ?arrow_forwardTarzan grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree when he is running at 9.3 m/s. a. How high (in m) can he swing upward? (Enter your answer with respect to the ground.) (Answer in m) b. Does the length of the vine affect this height? (Yes or No)arrow_forwardA rock is thrown straight downward near the Earth’s surface with initial velocity of 20m/s down. Assuming it doesn’t reach the ground, after 4 seconds its speed will be aboutarrow_forward
- You have put a sonar device at the top of a frictionless inclined plane, as shown in the diagram below. That device allows you to measure the distance an object is from the device, as well as the speed and the acceleration of that object. If we decide that the origin (h = 0) is at the sonar device, we want to know what the height change is as we slide down the incline. 0 For an angle below the horizontal of 6.46, we see that our object has slid a distance 1.13 m, as measured along the incline itself. Calculate the height change in meters - and report your answer as a negative number. (This value would be useful for calculating the change in gravitational potential energy, as we will do in the lab.) h=o 10% O i 26 QUATU 99+ hp X 55 83°F 3:11 PM 10/16/2022 Ctrl 0arrow_forwardAt the Earth's surface, a projectile is launched straight up at a speed of 7.5 km/s. To what height will it rise? Ignore air resistance. 2.87e+06 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. marrow_forwardHere we go again (yes, this set of questions is starting to feel like Groundhog Day). You AGAIN wake up in a strange room, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 2.48 m, and observe that it hits the floor 0.284 s after you drop it. In this case you suspect you are in deep space, far from any planet or star, and that your rocket is accelerating due to the push of its own engines under the floor. In this case, what must the acceleration of your rocket be? 30.7 m/s^2 30.7 m/s^2 123.0 m/s^2 61.5 m/s^2arrow_forward
