Pelican dives to catch fish 15 of 15 Review | Constants Pelicans tuck their wings and free-fall straight down when diving for fish. Suppose a pelican starts its dive from a height of 17.0 m and cannot change its path once committed. Part A If it takes a fish 0.25 s to perform evasive action, at what minimum height must it spot the pelican to escape? Assume the fish is at the surface of the water.

Solve the problem A skydiver jumped out of a plane to shoot a skydiving scene for a certain spy movie. Atwhat point in time should this spy-wannabe open his parachute when he is aware thatthe plane was at the altitude of 3871.29m, and he needs to open it at a height of479.26m?
A projectile is shot at ahill, the base of which is 300 m away. Theprojectile is shot at 60°above the horizontalwith an initial speed of 75 m/s. The hill can beapproximated by a plane sloped at to thehorizontal. Relative to the coordinate systemshown in the following figure, the equation ofthis straight line is y= (tan 20°) x−109 in SIunits. Where on the hill does the projectileland? How long does the trip take?

A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speedof 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of3.00 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How fardoes the bomb travel horizontally between its release and itsimpact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitatesthe bombardier before he can call, “Bombs away!”Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane’s originalcourse, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Whereis the plane relative to the bomb’s point of impact when thebomb hits the ground? (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsightset so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight atthe moment of release. At what angle from the vertical wasthe bombsight set?
Coast Guard rescue swimmers are trained toleap from helicopters into the sea to save boaters in distress. Therescuers like to step off their helicopter when it is “ten and ten,”which means that it is ten feet above the water and moving forward horizontally at ten knots. What are (a) the speed and (b) thedirection of motion as a rescue swimmer enters the water following a ten and ten jump?

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on thesame track . The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in thesame direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passengertrain immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant accelerationof 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to the train’s velocity, while thefreight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the locationof the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes.(a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it takeplace? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the passengertrain and the back of the freight train.
A projectile is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 30 m/s in thehorizontal direction. If the top of the building is 30 m above the ground, a) how long isthe projectile in the air? b) With what speed and angle will the projectile be moving justbefore it strikes the ground? (Hint: final speed = 38.6 m/s)
Ignoring air resistance, a helicopter is flying with a velocity of 90 m/s at an angle of 23 degrees above the horizontal. When the helicopter is 114 m directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, they dropped a crate. How far from the dog will the crate land?
