A boat is moving to the right with a constant deceleration of 0.3 m/s2 when a boy standing on the deck D throws a ball with an initial velocity relative to the deck which is vertical. The ball rises to a maximum height of 8 m above the release point and the boy must step forward a distance d to catch it at the same height as the release point. Determine (a) the distance d, (b) the relative velocity of the ball with respect to the deck when the ball is caught.

A ball is launched with an initial velocity of Vo = 4.5 m/s from point P at a 30° sloped surface with an angle of 0. The ball lands at point B, which is 0.6 m higher than point A. Determine the launch angle 0 of the ball, the impact velocity at B (vB), the angle vg makes with the horizontal and the duration of the flight. Also determine the radius of curvature of the path and the rate of change of the speed of the ball at point C, where its trajectory makes an angle of 60° with the negative x-axis. g 9.81 m/s-.arrow_forward

(b) The 30-g bullet is fired horizontally into the 400-g block which rests on a smooth surface. After the bullet becomes embedded into the block, the block moves to the right 0.39 m before momentarily coming to rest. Determine the speed (v), of the bullet.

A 60-kg engineering student decides to bungy jump from the famous Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown. The bridge is 43 m above the river and the operators choose a 30-m long cable for her (i.e. she will free-fall the first 30 metres). After the cable is taught, her downward acceleration is given by 9.81 – 6.4s m/s? where s is measured from point B as shown on the right. Assume her initial velocity at A is zero.
