Your brother slides his glass of milk horizontally at a speed
m
of 0.8 at a frictionless table which is 1.3 m tall. You tried
to catch it but missed such that the glass followed a curved
path before it crashed on the floor. How far away from the
edge of the table did the glass hit the floor?
A cannon is on the edge of a vertical cliff 50 m high. The cannon then fires horizontally giving the cannon ball a speed of 420 m/s. What is the speed of impact (in m/s) of the cannon ball?
A board 2.5 m long leans against a vertical wall. It starts to slide down the wall. The
instant the bottom end is 2 m from the base of the wall, the top end is moving down
the wall at the rate of 2 m/s. At that moment, how fast is the bottom sliding along
the horizontal ground.

- A small rocket is launched straight up. When at a height of 5.0km and velocity of 200.0m/s, it releases its booster and enters free fall. Neglecting air friction, what is the velocity of the rocket at a height of 6.0km on its way up? 143m/s 200m/s 244m/s 397m/sarrow_forwardThree identical rocks are thrown from the top of a building. Rock # 1 is thrown horizontally with a speed of 12 m/s. Rock #2 is thrown straight upward with a speed of 12 m/s. Rock #3 is thrown straight downward with a speed of 12 m/s. There is no air resistance and none of the rocks come into contact with anything before they hit the ground at the base of the building. Compare the rocks' speeds just before they strike the ground at the base of the building by ranking them from fastest to slowest. O Rock #1, Rock #3, Rock #2 O Rock #3, Rock #2, Rock #1 O Rocks #1 and #2 have the same final speed and #3 is slowest. O Rock #2 is the fastest while Rocks #1 and #3 are tied for slowest. O All three rocks have the same final speed.arrow_forwardA baseball player uses a very massive golden bat to hit a rubber ball off of a tee.

- In 1989, Michel Menin of France walked on a tightrope suspended under a balloon nearly at an altitude of 3150 m above the ground. Suppose a coin falls from Menin’s pocket during his walk.

The kid is attempting to swing all the way around in full circle. What minimum speed, in meters per second must the kid be moving at the top of the circular path in order to make a full circle?arrow_forwardYou need to get into your fourth-floor apartment, but you have forgotten your key to the main ground floor door of the building. You call up to your lazy roommate to come down and let you in, but he says he will throw the keys down to you instead. The window that he throws the keys out of is 13 meters above the ground, and he chucks them with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal. The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s?. How far back from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys?arrow_forward
- Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.arrow_forwardA physicist is studying the position of a baseball being thrown up in the air.

Assume the opposite end of the plank follows a path perpendicular to the wall of the building and the worker pulls the rope at a rate of 0.14 meter per second. How fast is the end of the plank sliding along the ground when it is 1.8 meters from the wall of the building? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 5 m m/sec Need Help?

- Julie, who has a mass of 65 kg, is enjoying a day at the local water park with some friends. She waits for her turn at the top of a water slide and then begins sliding down. The topof the water slide is 12 m above the pool and the bottom is 1 m above the pool. How fast is she moving when she reaches the bottom, in m/s? (Round your answer to one decimal place if necessary.)arrow_forwardYou stand still and throw a ball straight upwards with an initial speed of 7.50 m/s. You then repeat this experiment while on a moving sidewalk that is moving horizontally with a speed of 0.500 m/s. How high does the ball go?arrow_forward
