- garden hose sprays a burst of water horizontally from 1.6 m above level ground. It hits a fence 2.1 m away, horizontally, at a height 0.93 m above the ground. What was the initial speed of the burst of water?arrow_forwardA projectile is shot at an upward angle of 35.2° with a speed of 11.3 m/s. How far does the projectile move horizontally in 0.595 s? Express your answer in meter to 3 significant figures. Use g=9.81 m/s².arrow_forwardA space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 24.4 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.223 m/s² in the +x direction. After 52.7 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. (a) Number i Units (b) Number Units ûarrow_forward
- You toss an apple horizontally at 8.4 m/sm/s from a height of 2.0 mm. Simultaneously, you drop a peach from the same height. How long does apple take to reach the ground? How long does peach take to reach the ground?arrow_forwardA girl stands on a fishing pier and tosses a pebble into a pond. The pebble is thrown from a height of 2.50 m above the water surface with a velocity of 4.60 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. As the pebble strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down to exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water. After the pebble enters the water, it moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when it struck the water. If the pond is 6.20 m deep, how much time elapses (in s) between when the pebble is thrown and when it strikes the bottom of the pond? 5.195 Xarrow_forwardOn planet #3, you fire a projectile horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff 21.5 m above the ground, with an initial speed of 40.1 m/s. The projectile lands 36.9 m away from the base of the cliff. What is the value of g for planet #3? 21.22 m/s^2 50.78 m/s^2 25.39 m/s^2 128.36 m/s^2arrow_forward
- An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. A child on a bridge, 66 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone?arrow_forwardA projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?arrow_forwardA firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics- based reasoning.arrow_forward
- You are walking around your neighborhood and you see a child on top of a roof of a building kick a soccer ball. The soccer ball is kicked at 50° from the edge of the building with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and lands 20 meters away from the wall of the building. Which equation will allow you to solve for the amount of time the ball is in the air? Hint: look at your givens in the x-direction. Group of answer choices A. vfx2=v0x2+2axΔx B. vfx=v0x+axt C. Δx =v0x t + ½ axt2arrow_forwardA person throws a ball with speed 102 m/s at a 45° angle. How many seconds faster would the ball arrive if the person threw the ball at the same speed and the same distance but made the trip in two identical bumps. Assume that there is no loss of speed at the bounce. Hint: Use R = v2/g * sin(2θ) and t=2*vy(sinθ)/g.arrow_forwardA student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 17.0 m/s. The cliff is h = 51.0 m above a flat horizontal beach, as shown in the figure below. How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (s) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? ( m/s) ( ° below the horizontal)arrow_forward
