Chapter 4, Problem 17P
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?

- The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him to move quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0° the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.45 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is 2.10 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he does.) 15.0 m/s 2.10 m 50.0 10.0 m Number i Unitsarrow_forwardA projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 1000 m/s at an angle of 370 above the horizontal.

They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for timearrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle moving in thex-y plane is given by (4.03i + 7.36j) m/s at time t = 3.64 s.

- Problem 7: During a baseball game, a baseball is struck at ground level by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial speed v0 = 36 m/s at an angle θ = 18° above horizontal.
