Chapter 4, Problem 10CQ
Zack is driving past his house in FIGURE Q4.1O. He wants to toss his physics book out the window and have it land in his driveway, If he lets go of the book exactly as he passes the end of the driveway, should he direct his throw outward and toward the front of the car (throw 1), straight outward (throw 2), or outward and toward the back of the car (throw 3)? Explain.

Several people stand on a bridge over a river. The bridge is not level, so the people are all different heights above the river. Each person throws a stone to the river.
a) The first person is 26.8 m above the river and throws her stone with a speed of 16.6 m/s at an angle of 6 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). How long does it take her stone to hit the water, in seconds?
b) The second person is 19.0 m above the river and throws his stone with a speed of 17.1 m/s at an angle of -21.4 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the range of his stone, in meters?
c)The third person is 9.1 m above the river and throws their stone with a speed of 6.5 m/s at an angle of 9.3 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the speed of this stone (in m/s) just before it strikes the river?
A game requires that two children each throw a ball upward as high as possible from
point O and then run horizontally in opposite directions away from O. The child who travels the
greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground wins. If child A throws a ball
upward with a speed of v1 = 59 ft/sec and immediately runs leftward at a constant speed
of vA = 14 ft/sec while child B throws the ball upward with a speed of v2 = 56 ft/sec and
immediately runs rightward with a constant speed of vB = 16 ft/sec, which child will win the
game? Calculate the distances sA and sB that each child travels while the respective ball is in the
air.
A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18.0 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in Figure P3.23. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? (c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time. (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in Figure P3.23. (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land?

The cannon releases him at the same height as the net. His initial velocity is 18.3 m/s in a direction 40.0° above the horizontal. a) For how much time will he be in the air? b) How far does he travel horizontally? c) What is the velocity upon impact? The circus manager from the previous question wants to make the stunt more dramatic by firing the stuntman through a hoop 9.0 m high then land in a safety net at the same height as the cannon. The cannon’s angle is changed to 45.0° and the velocity is increased to 21.0 m/s.

- You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.5 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun?arrow_forwardRecently a space x launch vehicle was coasting at a constant velocity of 15m/s in the + y direction relative to a space station . The pilot of the vehicle fired a special RCS thruster which causes it to accelerate at 8m/s^2 in the +x direction . After 9.1 s the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster . After RCS thruster is turned off find the magnitude of the vehicles velocity in +x direction.arrow_forwardYour little sister is running to the park in your neighborhood at a speed of 3.90 m/s when you suddenly realize she left her favorite playground ball behind. You throw her ball horizontally out the window of your apartment which is at a height of 45.0 m above the street and directly above the sidewalk. You throw the ball 8.00 seconds after she has passed below your window and she catches the ball! a) Ignoring air resistance, what is the initial speed that you must throw her ball so she can catch it just before it reaches the ground? b) What is the angular frequency of the pendulum?arrow_forward

You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?arrow_forwardYour first task in solving any projectile problem is to determine which case you are dealing with, and that lets you know what equations to use. Case 2 has its own special equations. Case 3 usually involves determining the vertical and horizontal components of the launch velocity. If you know the horizontal velocity and time, R=Vht works for any case of equation.arrow_forward
