A student went to Wonderland, where they lined up for the Leviathan roller coaster. After waiting 2 hours in the lineup, the student finally got into the cart, and rode off on the ride. At the highest point in the ride, the student's cell phone fell out of their jeans pocket. The cellphone's location is plotted for 4 seconds, where positive direction is the direction towards the ground, and origin is at the jeans pocket.

Suppose you went for a drive along a long, straight road that runs east-west. Let's define east to be the positive x direction. From your home, you drive east at 30 mi/hr to your friends house for 20 minutes, then at 48 mi/hr east for 10 minutes to the grocery store. Finally, you drive west at 60 mi/hr without stopping to get home. What is your displacement for the entire trip?

A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by x = 17.2t and y = 4.16t − 4.90t2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using the unit vectors î and ĵ. (Give the answer in terms of t.) = m By taking derivatives, do the following. (Give the answers in terms of t.) (b) obtain the expression for the velocity vector as a function of time = m/s(c) obtain the expression for the acceleration vector as a function of time = m/s2(d) Next use unit-vector notation to write expressions for the position, the velocity, and the acceleration of the golf ball at t = 3.18 s. = m = m/s = m/s2

In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from his enemies by running over the edge of the cliff above Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which is confined at that spot to a gorge. He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. (Figure 1) A. Representing the horizontal distance jumped as L and the vertical drop as h , as shown in the figure, derive an expression for the minimum speed v he would need to make his leap if he ran straight off the cliff. Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and appropriate constants. B. Evaluate your expression for a 22 ft jump with a 20 ft drop to the other side. C. Is it reasonable that a person could make this leap? Use the fact that the world record for the 100 m dash is approximately 10 s to estimate the maximum speed such a runner would have. (Yes or no answer)
