(II) (a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.0 m away. What is her “takeoff” speed v0? (b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below. If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in (a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land (Fig. 3–43)?

- (a) If an electron is projected horizontally with a speed of 3.0 * 106 m/s, how far will it fall in traversing 1.0 m of horizontal distance? (b) Does the answer increase or decrease if the initial speed is increased?arrow_forwardA ski jumper starts from rest 50.0 m above the ground on africtionless track and flies off the track at an angle of 45.0°above the horizontal and at a height of 10.0 m above the levelground. Neglect air resistance. (a) What is her speed whenshe leaves the track? (b) What is the maximum altitude sheattains after leaving the track? (c) Where does she land relativeto the end of the track?arrow_forwardA locust jumps at an angle of 55.0 and lands 0.800 m from where it jumped. (a)What is the maximum height of the locust during its jump? Ignore air resistance andassume g = 9.8 m/s2 (b) If it jumps with the same initial speed at an angle of 45.0,would the maximum height be larger or smaller? (c) Calculate the maximum heightand range for this angle.arrow_forward

The dish is on a shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal distance of 2.1 m from this point (Fig. E3.19). If you toss the coin with a velocity of at an angle of 60 ͦ above the horizontal, the coin lands in the dish. You can ignore air resistance. (a) What is the height of the shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and What is the vertical component of the velocity of the quarter just before it lands in the dish.arrow_forwarde45 In Fig. 4-40, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 10.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizon- tal length d = 6.00 m and height d, = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. (a) Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the (b) mag- nitude and (c) angle of its dis- placement from the launch point? Vo A d2 Ball di Figure 4-40 Problem 45.arrow_forward
- A ball was kicked over a 8.0 m wall as shown with a velocity u at an angle of 50° above the horizontal. At the highest part of the trajectory, the ball managed to just go over the wall. It landed into a depression 2.0 m deep. 8.0 m 500 2.0 m De (a) the initial speed of the ball, [2] (b) the velocity of the ball just before it hit the depression, [4] (c) the time of flight of the ball.

If the table is 1.25 m high, what is the toy's velocity just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardBased on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: A poké-ball rolls off Ash’s table with a velocity of 1.93 m/s [horizontally]. The tabletop is 76.5 cm above the floor. If air resistance is negligible, determine how long the poké-ball is airborne the horizontal range (distance) the velocity at impactarrow_forward
- Can you help me with this question? A motocyclist drives his bike off of a 12 m high horizontal ledge. If he is driving at a speed of 22 m/s horizontally, how far from the base of the ledge does he land?arrow_forwardA skier leaves a ski jump at 15.0 m/s at some angle θ. At what speed is he traveling at his maximum height of 4.50 m above the level of the end of the ski jump? (Neglect air friction.)arrow_forwardIn a carnival booth, you win a stuffed giraffe if you tossed a coin into a smalldish. The dish is on the shelf above the point where the quarter leaves yourhand and is a horizontal distance of 2.1 m from this point. If you toss the coinwith a velocity of 6.4m/s at an angle of 600 above the horizontal, the coinlands in the dish. You can ignore air resistance.
