Chapter 8, Problem 1EAP
As a science fair project, you want to launch an 800 g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes 30 m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 15.0 N. The target is approaching at a speed of 15 m/s. At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?

A small block has a horizontal velocity of 4.00m/s as it slides off the edge of a table. The table is a vertical distance of 0.90m above the floor. If g=9.80m/s^2, how far does the block travel horizontally while it is in the air?
The average thrust created by the first stage engine of a model rocket is 50N. The rocket has an average weight of 10N with a burn time of 2 seconds. The rocket is initially fired vertically upward. When the rocket reaches maximum height, a second engine is fired creating a horizontal velocity (only) of 50m/s. Where does the rocket land relative to its launch point? Assume it was launched on a horizontal plain.
An emergency relief plane is dropping a care package from a plane to a group of medical personnel working for a relief agency in an African village. The package is designed to land in a small lake, inflate an attached raft upon impact, and finally resurface with the raft side down. The plane will be moving horizontally with a ground speed of 59.1 m/s. The package will be dropped a horizontal distance of 521 m from the intended target location. At what altitude above the pond must the plane be flying in order to successfully accomplish this feat?

- A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.arrow_forwardA motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.85 m high 29.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side.

- Let us consider the fall of a pole vaulter as a projectile once he releases the pole. The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees.

A diver runs horizontally along the diving board with a speed of vo = 4.9 m/s and then falls into the pool. Neglect air resistance. Use a coordinate system with the horizontal x-axis pointing in the direction of the diver's initial motion, and the vertical y-axis pointing up. Enter an expression for the time ty it takes the diver to fall off the end of the diving board to the pool's surface in terms of vo, h, L, and g.

- A mortar is like a small cannon that launches shells at steep angles. A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill. Enemy forces are charging up the hill and it is necessary for the crew to spring into action. Angling the mortar at an angle of 0 65.0° (as shown), the crew fires the shell at a muzzle velocity of 148 ft/s. How far d down the hill does the shell strike if the hill d subtends an angle o = 37.0° from the horizontal?
