Flight of a Rocket A hill is inclined so that its "slope" is . as shown in the figure. We introduce a coordinate system with the origin at the base of the hill and with the scales on the axes measured in meters. A rocket is fired from the base of the hill in such a way that its trajectory is the parabola y = -x + 40lx. At what point does the rocket strike the hillside? How far is this point from the base of the hill (to the nearest centimeter)? rise yA run rise 1 run 2

between points in a plane do not change when a coordinate system is rotated In other words, the magnitude of a vector Is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Suppose a coordinate system S is rotated about its origin by angle to become a new coordinate system S’, as shown in the following figure. A point in a plane has coordinates (x,y)in S and coordinates (x,y) in S’. (a) Show that, during the transformation of rotation, the coordinates in S are expressed in terms of the coordinates in S by the following relations: {x=xcos+ysiny=xsin+ycos (b) Show that the distance of point Pto the origin is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Here, you have to show that x2+y2=x2+y2. (c) Show that the distance between points Pand Q is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Here, you have to show that ( xP =xQ )2+( yP yQ )2=( xP =xQ )2+( yP yQ )2 .

Ash, being a cruel person that he was, threw a Pokeball to catch another clueless and innocent supernatural animal to be used in a derby-like tournament to death. He launched it at 20m/s and a launch angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal. Determine the horizontal distance of the Pokemon from the Pokeball. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the Pokeball just before it hits the Pokemon?
You are attacking your enemy’s castle and prepare your catapult to launch a large stone at the castle wall. Asyour clan’s engineer, it is up to you to calculate the correct distance from the wall to fire your catapult. Youknow that the projectile will be launched from the catapult 8.2 m above the ground at a velocity of 40 m/s atan angle of 46◦ above the horizontal, and you want to hit the castle wall 3.0 m above the ground, where theprojectile will do the most damage. How far from the wall should your catapult be positioned?
Ash, being a cruel person that he was, threw a Pokeball to catch another clueless and innocent supernatural animal to be used in a derby-like tournament to death. (huhuhu) He launched it at 20m/s and a launch angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal. Determine the equation of the trajectory taken by the Pokeball. Assume that the Pokeball originated from the ground.
