A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of -10 m / s." What is wrong with the student's statement? What has the student actually described? Explain.
Unreasonable Results (a) Find the maximum range of a super cannon that has a muzzle velocity of 4.0 km/s. (b) What is unreasonable about the range you found? (c) Is the premise unreasonable or is the available equation inapplicable? Explain your answer. (d) If such a muzzle velocity could be obtained, discuss the effects of air resistance, thinning air with altitude, and the curvature of the Earth on the range of the super cannon.
As shown in Figure 2.9, Whipple chose a coordinate system that was different from Cralls. There are many possible coordinate systems that can be used to analyze the motion of the cart. For example, a third student (Yoon) chose to place the origin of her coordinate system at position A (the) carts initial position) and use a southward-pointing y axis as her positive axis. a. Use the distance information given in Table 2.2 to make a new table that gives the carts position at each of the 16 times according to Yoons coordinate system. Hint: A sketch similar to Figure 2.9 is a good place to start. b. Use the data in your table to make a new position-versus-time graph. Hint: CHECK and THINK about your graph by comparing it with Figure 2.6.
You are watching a friend practice archery when he misses the target completely, and the arrow sticks into the ground. Discouraged, your friend asks whether you can help by estimating the speed with which the arrow left the bow. Remembering your physics class, you realize that you can do so by measuring its height above the ground when it was launched, if you assume the arrow was launched horizontally and that the ground is level. For your analysis, you let h represent the arrows height above the ground when it was launched, v0 represent the launch speed, and represent the angle the arrow makes with the horizontal when it is stuck into the ground. Find an expression for v0 in terms of h and .
(a) A jet airplane flying from Darwin, Australia, has an air speed of 260 m/s in a direction 5.0° south of west. It is in the jet stream, which is blowing at 35.0 m/s in a direction 15° south of east. What is the velocity of the airplane relative to the Earth? (b) Discuss whether your answers are consistent with your expectations for the effect of the wind on the plane's path.
Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Given this information, is acceleration a vector or a scalar quantity? Explain.
A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a building. One second later, another ball is projected horizontally from the same point with the same velocity, (a) At what point in the motion will the balls be closest to each other? (b) Will the first ball always be traveling faster than the second? (c) What will be the time difference between them when the balls hit the ground? (d) Can the horizontal projection velocity of the second ball be changed so that the balls arrive at the ground at the same time?
Solve the problem. PROVIDE THE GIVEN, REQUIRED, EQUATION, SOLUTION, AND FINAL ANSWER The charter day of Manila is usually celebrated with a fireworks display. In one of the displays, a shell was shot into the air with an initial speed of 87.0 m/s at an angle of 85.0º above the horizontal. The fuse was timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. Solve for the following: a) height at which the shell explodes; b) time passed between the launch of the shell and the explosion c) horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes.
5. A ball is thrown horizontally by a pitcher from a height of 1 m and lands 18.4 m away on the ground behind home plate. a). Draw a simplified sketch of only the ball, it's release height, trajectory, and landing point. b) What is the time of flight of the ball? c). What is the initial velocity of the ball? 7. A water park is designing a new water slide that finishes with the rider flying horizontally off the bottom of the slide. The slide is designed to end 1.2 m above the water level, and the average rider is estimated to leave the bottom of the slide at 25 m/s. a). Draw a sketch of the scenario showing the trajectory of the rider from the bottom of the slide to the water. b) Determine how far will the rider fly through the air (horizontally) before hitting the water?

A certain physics problem about projectile motion has several parts, as listed in the questions below. For each, write out what variables (y, vy, ay, t, x, vx, etc) need to be solved for in each part, and at what event or condition, also expressed using symbols and/or known values. For example: “Find ______ (variable) when _______ (variable) equals ________.” How long until the projectile hits the ground? How far has the projectile travelled horizontally, when it hits the ground? What is the projectile’s speed the moment before ithits the ground? What is the projectile’s direction (angle) of flight, just before hitting the ground? How long until the projectile reaches its maximum altitude? What is that maximum altitude? How long until the projectile reaches a wall/building standing 100 m away (horizontally)?
