A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A 238U nucleus is moving in the x direction at 5.0×105 m/s when it decays into an alpha particle (4He) and a 234Th nucleus. If the alpha particle moves off at 22 degrees above the x axis with a speed of 1.1×107 m/s, a) What is the speed of the thorium nucleus and b) What is the direction of the motion of the thorium nucleus ( degrees clockwise from the x axis)?
A skydiver jumped out of a plane to shoot a skydiving scene for a certain spy movie. At what point in time should this spy-wannabe open his parachute when he is aware that the plane was at the altitude of 911.12m and he needs to open it at a height of 497.02 m?
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
A student solving a physics problem for the velocity of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression v=d/t−v0, where d=35.0meter, t=9.00second, and v0 =3.00meter/second. What is the velocity v?
A secret agent skis off a slope inclined at θ = 28.3 degrees below horizontal at a speed of v0 = 17.4 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the other side of the gorge is h = 11.9 m below the edge of the upper slope. a.)What is the maximum width, w, of the gorge (in meters) so that the agent clears it?
A Hot Wheels car, mass m=42.53 g, arrives at the base of a hill moving with a velocity of 15.19 ft/s. As it goes up the hill, how fast is it going when it is 815 mm above the level where it started? What is the Eki and Ekf of the car, and its velocity when it is 855mm above where it started?

To decide who pays for lunch, a passengeron a moving train tosses a coin straight upward with an initialspeed of 5.25 m>s and catches it again when it returns to its initial level. From the point of view of the passenger, then, the coin’sinitial velocity is 15.25 m>s 2yn . The train’s velocity relative to theground is 112.1 m>s2xn . (a) What is the minimum speed of the coinrelative to the ground during its flight? At what point in the coin’sflight does this minimum speed occur? Explain. (b) Find the initial speed and direction of the coin as seen by an observer on theground. (c) Use the expression for ymax derived in Example 4-14 tocalculate the maximum height of the coin, as seen by an observeron the ground. (d) What is the maximum height of the coin fromthe point of view of the passenger, who sees only one-dimensionalmotion?
