A farm truck moves due east with a constant velocity of 9.50 m/s on a limitless, horizontal stretch of road. A boy riding on the back of the truck throws a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.54) and catches the projectile at the same location on the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. (a) In the frame of reference of the truck, at what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can? (b) What is the initial speed of the can relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the can’s trajectory as seen by the boy? An observer on the ground watches the boy throw the can and catch it. In this observer’s frame of reference, (d) describe the shape of the can’s path and (e) determine the initial velocity of the can.
Suppose you are in a rocket with no windows, traveling in deep space far from other objects. Without looking outside the rocket or making any contact with the outside world, explain how you could determine whether the rocket is (a) moving forward at a constant 80% of the speed of light and (b) accelerating in the forward direction.

In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel’s length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts? A modern version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun’s tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed. (c) In g units, what would be the average acceleration of the rocket…
A bolt drops from the ceiling of a moving train car that is accelerating northward at a rate of 2.50 m/s2, (a) What is the acceleration of the bolt relative to the train car? (b) What is the acceleration of the bolt relative to the Earth? (c) Describe the trajectory of the bolt as seen by an observer fixed on the Earth.
Mr. C is standing at the origin on the x-axis at position O. He starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2m/s/s [E] for 10s, then travels at a constant speed for 3 additional minutes, and then decides to accelerate at a rate of 1m/s/s[W] until he is travelling at a velocity of 5m/s[W]. Find the final position of Mr. C on the x-axis and the total time that he was in motion.
You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.7m/s(in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.5m/s.What is the corresponding direction of the boat's velocity relative to the water (i.e. from the positive x direction)?Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.
Hello, (a) In what direction would the ship in Exercise 3.57 have to travel in order to have a velocity straight north relative to the Earth, assuming its speed relative to the water remains 7.00 m/s (b) What would its speed be relative to the Earth?fully is what you're asking for. Exeecise 3.57 is provided below: A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 7.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0º north of east. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the Earth?
