5. You are surfing, but the waves are lame so you paddle back to shore. The waves are pushing you directly to the shore, but you are paddling at an angle, so that you get closer to where you parked your car. The waves are pushing you 10 ft/sec, and you are paddling 45° to the right at a speed of 5 ft/sec. (a) Draw a to scale vector diagram of this situation. Your diagram should include the vector describing the velocity from the waves, and the vector describing the velocity from your paddling. Label the scale of your drawing.

Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)
A particular bicycle has wheels that are 66 cm in diameter. The radius of the crank armis 18 cm. At its lowest point, the pedal is 16 cm above the ground. A person is pedalingthe bicycle such that the crank arm rotates once every second.Questions:1. Write an equation that models the vertical position of the foot with respect to theground, starting from the lowest point, as the crank arm turns.2. What is the rate of change of the vertical position of the foot when it is at themidline? Explain your answer3. How fast, in kilometres per hour, is the bicycle moving?4. Determine an equation that would model the foot’s position when the cyclist istraveling 5 km/h. Compare this equation to your equation from question 1 andexplain any differences.5. Use calculus to explain why the rotation velocity of a point on the perimeter of awheel is the same as the velocity of the pedal. Use examples to support youranswer.
3. An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use theairport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed forthis plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway?
The velocity of a boat relative to a fixed-earth coordinate system is 12 m/s and is constant. The length of the tow rope is 15 m. The angle ߠ is 30° and is increasing at the rate of 10°/s. What are the velocity and acceleration of the skier relative to the boat?
The system of pulleys and weights shown in the figure is in the field of gravity. Write the Lagrangian equation of type I of the system. Calculate the acceleration of each bead.
In the figure below, a ball is thrown up onto a roof, landing 4.14 s later at height h = 24.5 m above the release level. The ball's path just before landing is angled at @ = 60.0° with the roof. (Let the positive x direction be to the right, and the positive y direction be upward.) (a) Find the horizontal distance d it travels. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if on video.) (b) What is the magnitude of the ball's initial velocity? (c) What is the angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball's initial velocity?
Dynamics Question A ball with a mass of .5kg is attached to a 1m string. The string is attached to a post and is free to rotate. The string can be assumed to be weightless and not stretch. The ball is spun around the post in the horizontal plane (so gravity is perpendicular to the string and direction of motion) at a rate of 2π radians per second and that is slowing down by .2 rad/s^2. What is the total acceleration vector and the tension in the string?
(6 )Suppose you're standing on the ground and throw a frisbee. You want the expression for the acceleration of a point on the edge of a frisbee (flying, rotating disk) in flight relative to yourself. If you know the acceleration of the frisbee's center of mass relative to yourself and the position of your point of interest on the frisbee's edge relative to the frisbee's mass center at a particular instant, what other information would you need? nothing - you have all the information you need the frisbee's angular acceleration the frisbee's angular velocity the frisbee's angular velocity and angular acceleration
The figure shows a right-angled construction frame ABC. When measured at rest, it has dimensions as follows: AB = 18.9 m, AC = 10.0 m, and BC = 16.0 m. This frame is now given a new velocity of 0.420 c, relative to Earth, in a direction parallel to AC. How long is part BC of this frame with the new velocity as measured by Earth-based engineers?
