P40. A train slews down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 90.0
km/hr to 50.0 km/hr in the 15.0 s it takes to "round the bend". The radius of
the curve is 150 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed
reaches 50.0 km/hr. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at
the same rate.
You practice shooting at a target that is placed 22 m away from and 2 m below the nozzle of your toy gun, which has a barrel of length 0.6 m. You find out that you can hit the target when you fire upwards at an angle of 30⁰. What is the acceleration of the toy bullet in the barrel ?
Buster wants to demonstrate constantly-accelerated motion by letting a frictionless ice cube slide down an inclined plane. The ramp is L= 1.5 meters long. Buster can control the angle θ that the plane makes with the floor. He plans to release the ice cube from rest at the top of the ramp. If Buster wants the time the ice cube takes to completely slide down the ramp to bet= 2.0 s, what angle θ should the ramp make with the floor?

- You're playing a cartoony racing video game, with a character on a motorcycle. You drive your character off a ledge at 15 m/s. The next ledge for the character's bike to land on is 25 m away (horizontally) and 12 m below. Assume the video game has realistic physics coded into it, except that acceleration due to gravity is only 8.0 m/s^2. a) will your character land on the next platform? b) whether they land or not, find their velocity (magnitude and direction) as they either land on or pass through the 12 m below position.arrow_forwardThe acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet depends on the mass and size of the planet; therefore, other planets will have accelerations due to gravity other than 9.8 m / s2. Imagine an astronaut standing on an alien planet, which has no atmosphere, and throws a stone with a velocity of 7.35 m / s in a horizontal direction, dropping it at a height of 1.40 m above the surface of the planet. The rock hits the surface at a horizontal distance of 9.50 m from the astronaut. Find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, in m / s2, on this alien planet.arrow_forwardA golfer is trying to hit their ball over a 20 m tree.
