You are part of a searchand- rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You’ve found the missing explorer, but you're separated from him by a 200-mm-high cliff and a 30-mm-wide raging river. To save his life, you need to get a 4.4 kgkg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you can't throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 0.90 kgkg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies, then fire the rocket at ground level toward the supplies. (Figure 1)
22. During a circus performance, John Tailor was fired from
a compressed-air cannon whose barrel was 20 m long.
Mr. Tailor emerged from the cannon (twice on weekdays,
three times on Saturdays and Sundays) at 40 m/s. If Mr.
Tailor's mass was 60 kg, what was the average force on
him when he was inside the cannon's barrel?

- Dandelion seeds have a plume made of thin filaments that create a very large drag coefficient due to subtle aerodynamics as the air moves through and past the plume. The slower terminal speed and longer time in the air provide greater dispersal than would be possible for simple spherical seeds. A 0.63 mg seed has a plume with a cross-section area of 13 mm, and it falls with a terminal speed of 40 cm/s.arrow_forwardAn M1 Garand rifle has a 0.610 m long barrel.

When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V.

- You have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland. This attraction is a single-person roller coaster ride that has a 25.0 m drop followed by a plunger/piston device that brings the ride to rest. The plunger/piston is connected to a cylinder that contains 250 kg of water. The cart has a mass of 75.0 kg and starts at rest from the top of the track. To determine the total mass of the cart during the ride you must add your mass. As the cart moves down the track it has been determined that friction in the wheels and axles results in the production of 2750 J of thermal and sound energy combined. The plunger/piston at the bottom of the device has been designed to stop the cart with a maximum acceleration of 5.00 g’s (i.e. 49.0 m/s2). MY MASS: 66.2kg Problem 1: The cart with you inside of it starts from rest at the top of the ride. Determine the gravitational potential energy of the cart with you as the single passenger at the top of the ride.…arrow_forwardYou have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland.
