Chapter 3, Problem 3.70P
CP Bang! A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed υ. However, a wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the firecracker a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. As a result, the firecracker reaches the ground directly below the student. Determine the height h in terms of υ. a. and g. Ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion.

An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.745 m above his mouth.
a. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit? answer in m/s
b. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? answer in degrees
A rock is thrown off a vertical cliff at an angle of 44.5o above horizontal. The cliff is 75.7 m high and the ground extends horizontally from the base. The initial speed of the rock is 18.4 m/s. Neglect air resistance.
A: To what maximum height, in meters, does the rock rise above the edge of the cliff?
B: How far, in meters, has the rock moved horizontally at the moment it reaches its maximum height?
C: How long, in seconds, after being thrown does the rock hit the ground?
D: How far from the base of the cliff, in meters, is the landing point of the rock?
E: How high above the ground, in meters, is the rock 2.42 s before it hits the ground?
F: How far horizontally from the cliff, in meters, is the rock 2.42 s before it hits the ground?
Chinook salmon are able to move through water especially fast by jumping
out of the water periodically. This behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a
salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.26 m/s at
45.0 above the horizontal, sails through the air a distance L before returning
to the water, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight,
horizontal line with velocity 3.58 m/s before jumping out again.
a. Determine the average velocity of the fish for the entire process of
jumping and swimming underwater.
b. Consider the time interval required to travel the entire distance of 2L.
By what percentage is this time interval reduced by the
jumping/swimming process compared with simply swimming
underwater at 3.58 m/s?
