A clod of dirt falls from the bed of a moving thick. It strikes the ground directly below the end of the truck. (a) What is the direction of its velocity relative to the truck just before it hits? (b) Is this the same as the direction of its velocity relative to ground just before it hits? Explain your answer.
A small plane flies 40.0 km in a direction 60 north of east and then files 30.0 km in a direction 15 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the total distance the plane covers from the starting point and the direction of the path to the final position.
You are watching a friend practice archery when he misses the target completely, and the arrow sticks into the ground. Discouraged, your friend asks whether you can help by estimating the speed with which the arrow left the bow. Remembering your physics class, you realize that you can do so by measuring its height above the ground when it was launched, if you assume the arrow was launched horizontally and that the ground is level. For your analysis, you let h represent the arrows height above the ground when it was launched, v0 represent the launch speed, and represent the angle the arrow makes with the horizontal when it is stuck into the ground. Find an expression for v0 in terms of h and .
A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, heading due north at 7.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0 north of east. What is the velocity of the ship relative to Earth?
A basketball player likes to release his foul shots at angle θ=45o to the horizontal as illustrated in the figure. Solve for the initial speed (vo) that will cause the ball to pass through the rim's center.
PROJECTILE A soccer player wins a match at Winford Stadium and hits a ball into the stands at 30 m/s and at an angle 45° above the horizontal. On its way down, the ball is caught by a spectator 10 m above the point where the ball was hit. b. What are the magnitude and direction of the ball's velocity at impact?
A small rock is thrown from the roof of a building. The initial velocity of the rock has magnitude Vo and is in a direction of 30 degrees above the hoizontal. The rock is in the air for 3 seconds and lands on the ground a horizontal distance of 36 m from the base of the building. What is the magnitude of the veloctiy of the rock just before it strikes the the ground?
A fisherman must travel directly across a river of width D to get back to his camp. (He’s trying to take the shortest path across the river.) In still water, he can row with speed vf (‘f’ for fisherman), but the river is moving with speed vr (‘r’ for river). How long will it take him to cross the river? You may assume he travels straight across the river to the other side.
Projectile. You are working as a consultant on a video game designing a bomb site for a World War 1 airplane. In this game, the plane you are flying is traveling horizontally at 40 m/s at an altitude of 125 m when it drops a bomb. (a) Determine how far horizontally from the target you should release the bomb? (b) What direction is the bomb moving just before it hits the target?
A jet airliner moving initially at 538 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowing at 937 mph in a direction 23◦ north of east. What is the new speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground? Answer in units of mph.
Assume you launch a projectile very close to the left edge of the building. It has a height of 500 meters. It follows a parabolic trajectory and just barely misses the right edge of the building and keeps falling to the ground. If the initial velocity is 26 m/s at an angle of 40° with respect to the top of the building what is: the y component of the velocity vector right before it hits the ground? the velocity and angle the projectile is right before it hits the ground?
