You and your friend are taking a hot air balloon trip over chicago and you find that you are not able to get the balloon into the air fast enough. Being impatient, your friend cuts loose one of the sandbags, with mass 73 kg, which was weighing you down. After 3.3 s, the sandbag hits the ground and your other friend on the ground uses a walkie talkie to tell you that the sandbag almost landed on them. From what height, y (in meters), did your friend in the balloon cut the sandbag loose? Assume g = 9.79 m/s2.

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

Spaceship Malfunction. You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000), which has a total mass of 51000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship's storage module, and has a mass of 8500 kg. The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion. (a) Assuming you received the distress call 20 minutes before the jettisoned storage module passed by your ship at a speed of 650 m/s, what is the speed of the damaged craft? (b) How far away is the Galaxy Explorer 5000 when its storage module passes by?…
A tourist at a rim of a canyon yells "hello!" toward the opposite side. She hears the echo "hello" four seconds later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how far away was the canyon wall that produced the echo?
An airplane takes 5 hours to travel a distance of 5400 miles with the wind. The return trip takes 6 hours against the wind. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.
You go to the roof of the twelve story building and look over the edge to the reflecting pool 170 feet below. You drop your book over the edge at the same instant that azmira chucks his book straight down at 48 feet per second . By how many seconds does his book into the water?
Problem 5: An athlete crosses a 28 m wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 0.85 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance 39 m downstream from his starting point. Randomized Variables w = 28 m d = 39 m Vs = 0.85 m/s

A child accidentally runs into the street in front of an approaching vehicle. The vehicle is traveling at 65 kph. Assuming the road is level and f = 0.35, at what distance must the driver first see the child to stop just in time?
An ultrasound doppler meter is used to detect motion for an alarm system. The unit emits an ultrasound signal and its echo is detected back at the same unit. If the unit emits a frequency of 100 MHz and is only able to detect a change in frequency of the reflected sound greater than 8.0 kHz, what is the maximum speed that an intruder can travel at relative to the unit whilst remaining undetected?
