Collision Course A useful rule of thumb in piloting is that if the heading from your airplane to a second airplane remains constant, the two airplanes are on a collision course. Consider the two airplanes shown in Figure 4-33. At time t = 0 airplane 1 is at the location (X, 0) and moving in the positive y direction; airplane 2 is at (0, Y) and moving in the positive x direction. The speed of airplane 1 is v1. (a) What speed must airplane 2 have if the airplanes are to collide at the point (X, Y)? (b) Assuming airplane 2 has the speed found in part (a), calculate the displacement from airplane 1 to airplane 2,

- A ball is thrown with an initial speed vi at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball reaches a maximum height R/6. In terms of R and g, find (a) the time interval during which the ball is in motion, (b) the balls speed at the peak of its path, (c) the initial vertical component of its velocity, (d) its initial speed, and (e) the angle i. (f) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but at the angle appropriate for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height. (g) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed but at the angle for greatest possible range. Find this maximum horizontal range.arrow_forwardTwo trains are passing each other on adjacent tracks.
