Concept explainers
An important piece of landing equipment must be thrown to a ship, which is moving at 45.0 cm/s. before the ship can dock. This equipment is thrown at 15.0 m/s at 60.0° above the horizontal from the top of a tower at the edge of the water. 8.75 m above the ship’s deck (Fig. P3.52). For this equipment to land at the front of the ship, at what distance D from the dock should the ship be when the equipment is thrown? Ignore air resistance.

- A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? Figure P3.16arrow_forwardTrachecktory. Two cannonballs, aptly named a and B, were launched on level ground. a was launched with a velocity of 18.0 [m/s] at 36° with respect to the ground while B was launched with a velocity of 17.6 [m/s] at 48° with respect to the ground. What can you say about a and B's range and time of flight? O a and B have the same range; a has a larger time of flight. O a and B have the same range; B has a larger time of flight. O a and B do not have the same range; B has a larger time of flight. O a and B do not have the same range; a has a larger time of flight.arrow_forwardA landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.54). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedes- trian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model Figure P3.54 to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?arrow_forward
- An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 3.50 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is the diver's speed, in m/s, just before she enters the water? m/sarrow_forwardI'm in high school physics A human archer atop a castle wall shoots an arrow at a velocity of 65 m/s at an angle of 36.9 degrees above horizontal. It lands 5.82 seconds later. How far away from the wall does the arrow land? How high is the wall?arrow_forwardAs a ship is approaching the dock at 45.0 cm/s, an important piece of landing equipment needs to be thrown to it before it can dock. This equipment is thrown at 15.0 m/s at 60° above the horizontal from the top of a tower at the edge of the water, 8.75 m above the ship's deck. For this equipment to land at the front of the ship, at what distance D from the dock should the ship be when the equipment is thrown? PROVIDE ILLUSTRATIONS.arrow_forward
- As a ship is approaching the dock at 45 cm/s, an important piece of landing equipment needs to be thrown to it before it can dock. This equipment is thrown at 15 m/s at 60° above the horizontal from the top of a tower at the edge of the water, 8.75 m above the ship's deck. For this equipment to land at the front of the ship, at what distance D from the dock should the ship be when the equipment is thrown? Air resistance can be neglected. 15.0 m/s 60.0 -45.0 cm/s 8.75 marrow_forwardA daredevil drove his motorcycle up an incline at 30 degree angle with the horizontal and got air borne at the end of the incline at 20 m/s, 11 m above the ground. How far horizontally did he land with his motorcycle on the ground, on a safety net?arrow_forwardA farm truck moves due east with a constant velocity of 9.50 m/s on a limitless, horizontal stretch of road. A boy riding on the back of the truck throws a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.54) and catches the projectile at the same location on the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. (a) In the frame of reference of the truck, at what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can? (b) What is the initial speed of the can relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the can’s trajectory as seen by the boy? An observer on the ground watches the boy throw the can and catch it. In this observer’s frame of reference, (d) describe the shape of the can’s path and (e) determine the initial velocity of the can.arrow_forward
- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.70). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? 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, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?arrow_forwardA quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity vo = 51i +37j + 27k ft/s. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/s² due to gravity and that the i vector points down the field toward the endzone and the j vector points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length. Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it is thrown. The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Assume the player is standing vertically with both toes on the ground at the time of reception.
