Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

The free throw line in basketball is 4.57 m (15 ft) from the basket, which is 3.05 m (10 ft) above the floor. A player standing on the free throw line throws the ball with an initial speed of 7.15 m/s, releasing it at a height of 2.44 m (8 ft) above the floor. At what angle above the horizontal must the ball be thrown to exactly hit the basket? Note that most players will use a large initial angle rather than a flat shot because it allows for a larger margin of error. Explicitly show how you follow the steps involved in solving projectile motion problems.
A player holds two baseballs a height h above the ground. He throws one ball vertically upward at speed v0 and the other vertically downward at the same speed. Calculate (a) the speed of each ball as it hits the ground and (b) the difference between their times of flight.
One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then, while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 25.0 m/s. The first is thrown at an angle of 70.0 with respect to the horizontal. (a) At what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first? (b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first for both to arrive at the same time?
The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 32.0 km. (a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell. (b) What maximum height does it reach? (At its highest, the shell is above 60% of the atmosphere—but air resistance is not really negligible as assumed to make this problem easier.) (c) The ocean is not flat, because the Earth is curved. Assume that the radius of the Earth is 6.37103 km. How many meters lower will its surface be 32.0 km from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface at the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat Earth in projectile motion is significant here?
You are on your way to the store but realized you forgot your car keys. You ask your friend to throw you the keys from the apartment complex. The window your friend throws it from is 10 meters above the ground, and he chucks them with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 25 degrees above horizontal. Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8m/s^2 1) How far from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys.
You wake up in a strange room. There is a window on the floor, and you can see that you are in a rocket which has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 7.03 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.15 m, it hits the floor 0.384 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 22.1 m/s^2 39.0 m/s^2 30.6 m/s^2 33.2 m/s^2
Jake is riding in a hot air balloon that descends with a constant vertical velocity of 4.00 m/s. He throws a ball with a horizontal velocity of 2.50 m/s relative to him. He notices that the ball hits the ground after 2.00 seconds. If the balloon constantly descends with the same speed of 4.00 m/s, determine1) The height of the balloon when the ball was thrown 2) The distance of the ball from Jake when the ball hits the ground (correct answer for #2 is 20.2 meters)
You are standing 18.0 meters away from a building, which is 15.0 meters tall and has a large, flat roof. You throw a baseball with an initial speed of 22.5 meters per second, at an angle of 55.0 degrees above the horizontal. When the baseball leaves your hand, it is 1.5 meters above the ground. The baseball lands on the roof of the building. What is the speed of the baseball just before landing on the roof, in units of meters per seconds?
23. Which of the following best describes the sentence, “Simultaneity is not absolute.”? a. The laws of physics may be different in different inertial frames of reference. b.

A knife is dropped from the top of a 16.0 m high mast on a ship moving at 1.74 m/s due south. (a) Calculate the velocity of the knife relative to the ship when it hits the deck of the ship. m/s (down) (b) Calculate the velocity of the knife relative to a stationary observer on shore. m/s Â° (below the horizontal to the south) (c) Discuss how the answers give a consistent result for the position at which the knife hits the deck.
During a lecture demonstration, a professor places two coins on the edge of a table 1.3m above the floor. She then flicks one of the coins horizontally off the table so it is moving at 5.0 m/s horizontally when it leaves the table. Simultaneously she gently nudges the other coin over the edge. Which coin hits the floor first? a. The coin gently nudged over the side. b. The coin flicked horizontally. c. They hit the floor at the same time.
The archerfish uses a remarkable method for catching insects sitting on branches or leaves above the waterline. The fish rises to the surface and then shoots out a stream of water precisely aimed to knock the insect off its perch into the water, where the archerfish gobbles it up. Scientists have measured the speed of the water stream exiting the fish’s mouth to be 3.7 m/s. An archerfish spots an insect sitting 19 cm above the waterline and a horizontal distance of 30 cm away. The fish aims its stream at an angle of 39° from the waterline. Does the stream hit its mark?
