- An object falls from rest from the top of a cliff. Another object is thrown downward from the same height 1.80s later with an initial speed of 35.0 m/s. (a) If both objects hit the ground simultaneously, how high is the cliff? (Ans.: 36 m) (b) If, while the objects are airborne, an earthquake opens a hole 20 m deep in the ground, with what speed will the second object hit the bottom? (Ans.: 48.2 m/s)arrow_forwardConsider a grey squirrel falling from a tree to the ground. Use a coordinate system in which positive is downward for this problem. a) Find the squirrel’s velocity, in meters per second, just before hitting the ground when it falls from a height of 1.3 m. Ignore air resistance. b) The squirrel softens its landing by bending its legs when it touches the ground, thereby stopping itself over a distance of 7.6 cm. Assuming a constant rate of deceleration, find the squirrel’s acceleration during this process, in meters per second squared.arrow_forwardHobbyists build a compressed air powered cannon which is able to launch a pumpkin a horizontal distance of 2700 ft.

- A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocityvi (4.00i +1.00j) m/s at a point in the ocean whose displacement from a certain rock is ri(10.0i - 4.00j) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20.0 s, its velocity is v (20.0i - 5.00j) m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration? (b) What is the direction of the acceleration with respect to the unit vector i? (c) Where is the fish at t = 25.0 s if it maintains its original acceleration and in what direction is it moving?arrow_forwardMars has an average acceleration due to gravity of 3.72 m/s2. Find the value of acceleration due to gravity at an altitude of 1000 km.arrow_forwardAn Osprey can fly horizontally (not diving) at a maximum speed of 70.0 km/hr. The bird takes off from rest at the edge of a cliff, heading east, and accelerates at a rate of 1.21 m/s2. The osprey can decelerate at higher rate of 2.43 m/s2. The Osprey can reach top speeds of about 84 mph. When doing so, it does not flap its wings. Rather, it relies on its gravitational force to accelerate it downwards. a. Assuming that it starts from rest, and assuming that drag forces are slim, how long will it take for the osprey to reach its top speed? b. How far does it travel during this time? c. Near the top speed, drag forces become important, and in fact the terminal velocity is determined by the drag force. Assuming that the osprey's body can be modeled as a cylinder, with its cross-sectional area equal to that of a circle with radius of 10 cm, what is the coefficient of drag C for a hawk?arrow_forward
