5. (III) You decide to drop an apple from rest from the observation platform in the statue of liberty's crown. The height h from which the apple is released is 44.5 meters above the shoulders of your friend Robin H., who happens to be standing on the ground directly below you. Robin H. shoots an arrow straight up at the same instant that you release the apple. The initial velocity of the arrow is 24.3 a) How long after you drop the apple will the arrow hit it? b) what is the speed of the arrow right before it strikes the apple?

An airplane maintains a speed of 630 km/h relative to the air it is flying through, as it makes a trip to a city 750 km away to the north. (a) What time interval is required for the trip if the plane flies through a headwind blowing at 35.0 km/h toward the south? (b) What time interval is required if there is a tailwind with the same speed? (c) What time interval is required if there is a crosswind blowing at 35.0 km/h to the east relative to the ground?
An airplane flying directly eastward at a constant speed travels 300 km in 2.0 h. (a) What is the average velocity of the plane? (b) What is its instantaneous velocity?
The Lunar Roving Vehicle used In NASA’s late Apollo missions reached an unofficial lunar land speed of 5.0 m/ s by astronaut Eugene Cernan. If the rover was moving at this speed on a flat lunar surface and hit a small bump that projected it off the surface at an angle of 20 , how long would it be “airborne” on the Moon?
Derive R=v02sin20g for the range of a projectile on level ground by finding the time t at which y becomes zero and substituting this value of t into the expression for xx0, noting that R=xx0
A World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain with a speed of 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 3.00 km The bombardier releases one bomb. (a) How far does the bomb travel horizontally between it release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance. (b) The pilot maintains the planes original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane when the bomb hits the ground? (c) The bomb hits the target seen in the telescopic bombsight at the moment of the bombs release. At what angle from tin- vertical was the bombsight set?
A ball thrown vertically from the Highway is shot 3.0 s later by a person on a balcony located 14 m from the road floor. What is the initial speed of the ball?
A man starts walking north at 4f t/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking southat 5f t/s from a point 500f t due east of P. At what rate are the people moving apart 15m after the womanstarts walking.
Can you conclude that a car is not accelerating if its speedometer indicates a steady 60 km/h ?Explain
A clown juggle balls while doing other activities. In one act, she throws a ball vertically upward, and while it is in the air, she runs to and from a table 5.5 m away at constant speed of 3.5 m/s, returning just in time to catch the falling ball. With what minimum initial speed must she throw the ball upward to accomplish the act?
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speedof 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of3.00 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How fardoes the bomb travel horizontally between its release and itsimpact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitatesthe bombardier before he can call, “Bombs away!”Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane’s originalcourse, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Whereis the plane relative to the bomb’s point of impact when thebomb hits the ground? (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsightset so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight atthe moment of release. At what angle from the vertical wasthe bombsight set?
In a scene in an action movie, a stuntman jumps from the top of one building to the top of another building 4.00 m away. After a running start, he leaps at an angle of 15.0o with respect to the flat roof while traveling at a speed of 5.00 m/s. Will he make it to the other roof, which is 2.50 m shorter than the building he jumps from?
