To decide who pays for lunch, a passengeron a moving train tosses a coin straight upward with an initialspeed of 5.25 m>s and catches it again when it returns to its initial level. From the point of view of the passenger, then, the coin’sinitial velocity is 15.25 m>s 2yn . The train’s velocity relative to theground is 112.1 m>s2xn . (a) What is the minimum speed of the coinrelative to the ground during its flight? At what point in the coin’sflight does this minimum speed occur? Explain. (b) Find the initial speed and direction of the coin as seen by an observer on theground. (c) Use the expression for ymax derived in Example 4-14 tocalculate the maximum height of the coin, as seen by an observeron the ground. (d) What is the maximum height of the coin fromthe point of view of the passenger, who sees only one-dimensionalmotion?
Two particles A and B start from rest at the origin s = 0 and move along astraight line such that aA = (6t − 3) m/s^2 and aB = (12t2 − 8) m/s^2, where t is inseconds. Determine the distance between them and the total distance each hastravelled at t = 4s.
Assume that, at the initial instant to = 0, a particle is thrown with initial speed vo and with an initial angle θo, with respect to a direction parallel to the Earth's surface. In this way, in order to carry out an analytical study of its motion in a simpler way, consider a coordinate system xoy, with its origin at the particle's launch position, and with its positive x axis oriented in the direction of the horizontal motion of the particle and with its positive y-axis oriented vertically upward. In this sense, illustrate (make the force diagrams) the projectile launch, highlighting its main characteristics, and describe algebraically what is asked:
An athlete crosses a 28 meters wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance of 42 meters downstream from his starting point. w = 28md = 42m vs = 1.1m/s What is the speed of the swimmer with respect to a freind at rest on the ground in m/s?
Show that a particle, located at the origin at t = 1 and moving along the x-axis with velocity v(t) = t −1/2, moves arbitrarily far from the origin after sufficient time has elapsed.
I don't understand how you can use the initial x velocity and final y velocity for the resultant velocity?
A boat is heading due east at speed v when passengers onboardspot a dolphin swimming due north away from them, relativeto their moving boat. Which of the following must be true ofthe dolphin’s motion relative to a stationary observer floatingin the water (choose one)? The dolphin is (a) heading southof east at a speed greater than v, (b) heading south of west at aspeed less than v, (c) heading north of east at a speed greaterthan v, or (d) heading north of west at a speed less than v.

In a later chapter, you will find that the weight of a particle varies with altitude such that w=mgr02r2where r0is the radius of Earth and ris the distance from Earth’s center. If the particle is fired vertically with velocity v0from Earth’s surface, determine its velocity as a function of position r. (Hint: use adr=vdv, the rearrangement mentioned in the text.)
