A small, experimental aluminum airplane leaves its classified location on a foggy and overcast day, and flies at 198 km/h (= 55.0 m/s), at a constant height h of 500 m, toward a point directly over a victim of a bizarre, classified experiment, floating in a remote mountain lake, where a rescue capsule is to land. (a) What should be the angle φ of the alien pilot’s line of sight to the victim when the capsule release is made? (b) As the capsule reaches the water, what is its velocity ⃗v?
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.435 m above his mouth. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? Assume vfy = 0.
Use a graphing utility to generate the trajectory of a paper airplane whose equations of motion for t ≥ 0 arex = t − 2 sin t, y = 3 − 2 cos t Assuming that the plane flies in a room in which the floor is at y = 0, explain why the plane will not crashinto the floor. [For simplicity, ignore the physical size of the plane by treating it as a particle.] How high must the ceiling be to ensure that the plane does not touch or crash into it?
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? (In degrees)
If we went outside to tennis courts again, what would you do to achieve the greatest range for your projectile bug? And what is the Effect of Air resistance:
A bullet is fired from the ground with an initial velocity of 50 m/s that makes with the horizontal an angle of 30°. The y-component of the velocity (v,) of this object after 1 second is?
An object is projected straight upwards with an initial velocity U. If T is the time taken to return to the point of projection, H is the maximum height and g is the acceleration due to gravity, derive how to solve for: (a.) time of flight, T, and (b.) the maximum height, H, that the projectile can achieve.
A frat boy throws a ping pong ball from 0.6 m above a table at 5 m/s and wants to land it in a 20 cm cup 1 m away along the table. At what angle above the horizontal should he throw it?
A projectile is fired vertically from point A with an initial speed of 215 ft/sec. Relative to an observer located at B, at what times (find two times t1 < t2) will the line of sight to the projectile make an angle of 23° with the horizontal? Compute the magnitude of the speed of the projectile at each time, and ignore the effect of aerodynamic drag on the projectile. Calculate the height h when the projectile is at point C.
A longbowman launches arrows at 50 m/s. Assuming that the firing is done at 45 degrees from the horizontal and that there is no air resistance, what is the gained improvement in maximal range to ground targets when he fires from the skirt wall (height=10m), secondary wall (height=20m), and keep (height=30m) of a medieval castle? What if the castle is built on a hill of height 100m?
When analyzing motions in 2D, what vectors should be described in terms of time (t), and x & y components?
A skydiver jumped out of a plane to shoot a skydiving scene for a certain spy movie. At what point in time should this spy-wannabe open his parachute when he is aware that the plane was at the altitude of (GIVEN A)m, and he needs to open it at a height of (GIVEN B)m?
