Suppose an astronaut landed on a planet where g = 19.6 m>s2. Compared to earth, would it be easier, harder, or just as easy for her to walk around? Would it be easier, harder, or just as easy for her to catch a ball that is moving horizontally at 12 m>s? (Assume that the astronaut’s spacesuit is a lightweight model that doesn’t impede her movements in any way.)
You aim a rifle horizontally in a perfectly flat field while your friend holds a bullet at the same height as your rifle. You fire the rifle and your friend simply opens her hand simultaneously, allowing the bullet to drop. Your friend claims that both bullets hit the ground at the same moment. Do you agree? Justify your answer. Ignore air resistance.
Consider the following statement: When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet leaves the barrel and doesn't drop at all for the first 75 meters of flight. Is this statement true?
On a carousel, the outer row of animals is 20 feet from the center. The inner row of animals is 10 feet from the center. The carousel is rotating at 2.5 revolutions per minute. What is the difference, in feet per minute, in the linear speeds of the animals in the outer and inner rows? Round to the nearest foot per minute.
