A conveyor belt, located 2.10 m above ground, shoots out rock at a speed of 11.0 m/s at an angle of16°above the horizontal. The rocks fly off the conveyor belt, and land on the ground some distance away.(a) What is the minimum speed of a rock during its flight? (b) What is the horizontal distance away fromthe conveyor belt that the rocks would land on the ground? (c) You have a 2.00 m high portable barrierthat you are asked to position in such a way that it blocks the rocks' flight. What is the smallest horizontaldistance away from the conveyor belt that you can position the barrier?

Answer: Minimum speed of rock during its flight, Umin = 10.24 m/s Distance at which the rock will…

Answered: A conveyor belt, located 2.10 m above…

A team of jubliant engineering students, celebrating winning a designcompetition, fires their potato gun straight up into the air. (a) Assuming a quadratic airdrag on the potato with magnitude F (v) = mkv^2, and taking +y to be the upward direction,show that the potato speed varies with height above the ground according to the equations:
A steel wire connects two trains at rest on the same track. The wire will snapif it is stretched by as much as 1 percent. The trains begin to accelerate in such away that their velocities, as measured in the ground frame, are always equal.Eventually, the wire snaps. Explain carefully why this happens. How fast are thetrains moving when the wire snaps?
When rowing downstream consider the following scenario. The current of the water is moving at 2 m/s in the direction you are rowing. The coefficient of drag between your boat and the water is 1.2, the area in contact with the water is 0.1 m2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. You are moving at a velocity of 4 m/s into a head wind of 4 m/s. Your coefficient of drag between you and the air is 1.4, the area in contact with the air is 0.4 m2 and the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m3. Your goal is to create a net force moving downstream that is equal to 100 N. How much force must you exert with the oar and in what direction to achieve this net force downstream?

A crate slides down an inclined plane without friction. If it is released from rest and reaches a speed of 6 m/s after sliding a distance of 2.5 m, what is the angle of inclination of the plane with respect to the horizontal?
We investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver,the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 95 m/s, and itsacceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 6.37 m/s2 as it comes to rest.(a) From the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time intervalneeded before it can come to rest?(b) Can this jet land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 kmlong? Show your work using a calculation.

An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height 3 m above the top of the grass of a thick lawn, which is made of blades of grass of height 0.5 m. When the apple enters the grass, it slows down at a constant rate so that its speed is 0 m/s when it reaches ground level. a. Sketch the y-t, Vy-t, and Ay-t graphs for the motion of the apple
