Chapter 4, Problem 49CP
A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at θ = 15.0° above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94). The slope where she will land is inclined downward at ϕ = 50.0°, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included.

A projectile is shot from ground level at 100 ft/s at a launch angle of θ that is between θ and π /2. Assume that the projectile is acted on by gravity, but not air resistance. Then, in a simple projectile-motion model it can be shown that the projectile lands at a distance R(θ) = 625 sinθcosθ ft from the launch point. What is the rate of change of the range with respect to the launch angle? For what angles does the range increase/decrease with increasing launch angle? What angle provides the maximum range, and what is that maximum range?
A projectile is launched from the top of the cliff of height h with initial velocity v0 and launch angle ? with respect to the horizontal. It later hits the ground. Derive an expression for the magnitude and direction angle of the velocity as the object hits the ground in terms of some or all of the variables given in the problem h, v0 , ?, and g.
A Canon launches a target at 40°. My distance of the x value is 4.60m. My distance for the y value is 1.1670 meters. The distance total is 4.746 meters. The problem is asking me to figure out the time of the object in air.I don't have velocity, I know the velocity initial is more than 0 and that the velocity final is zero. If I want to find time, I would need to use a vector diagram of velocity and use the resultant as my velocity. However, I have no idea what the velocity of Y or velocity of X. I only know that the velocity of X is in equilibrium and is constant as well as knowing that velocity final is zero. Oh yeah also velocity initial is velocity of the x value.

- A projectile is fired from the edge of a cliff, with an initial speed of 185 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The projectile rises and then falls into the sea next to the cliff. The height of the cliff measured from the sea level is h. The time of flight of the projectile until it hits the water is 40.0 s. Ignore air resistance. What is the height h of the cliff? What is the maximum height the projectile has reached (measured from the seal level)?

The archer aims the arrow directly ahead, that is to say, parallel with the ground. Bows are drawn to the corner of the mouth when fired. Let's say, for this particular archer, that puts the arrow 1.8 m (about 5.5 feet) above the ground. Assume that we have measured the initial speed of arrows fired by this archer with this bow and it is 100 m/s. (Ignore wind resistance) a) At what point during the arrow's flight will it be moving the fastest? (Be careful here, think about it. You don't need to do any calculations to figure this out.) b) How long will it take for the arrow to hit the ground?c) How far will the arrow travel during this time period?arrow_forwardA skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.8m/s, directed at an angle of 59degrees above the horizontal.

How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches, and when the skateboarder reaches the highest point how far is the point horizontally from the end of the ramp?arrow_forward
