-20. Two cyclists, Mike and Josh, simultaneously started toward each other
from two towns d = 24 km apart. Josh rode at vj = 25 km/h, and Mike
%3D
at UM = 15 km/h. The moment they start, a fly also starts from Josh
towards Mike and after reaching Mike, immediately returns towards
Josh. The fly continues back and forth motion between the cyclists till
the cyclists meet. Air speed of fly is UF = 30 km/h and the wind blows
always towards Mike with a constant velocity u = 10 km/h. Find the
total distance s flown by the fly.

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, the speed of the keys just before it reached the ground is 36.2 m/s the height of his room from the ground is 66.4 m c.

- . When we estimate distances from velocity data, it is some- times necessary to use times fo, f1, fz, fz, ... that are not equally spaced. We can still estimate distances using the time periods At; = ti – ti-1. For example, on May 7, 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour was launched on mission STS-49, the purpose of which was to install a new perigee kick motor in an Intelsat communications satellite. The table, provided by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use these data to estimate the height above the earth's surface of the space shuttle Endeavour, 62 seconds after liftoff.
