A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. ( m/s) + ( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = ? m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = ? m/s2. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = ? s. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = ? m.
An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 4.5 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. Determine the diver's speed just before she enters the water. 4.7 m/s 9.5 m/s 6.4 m/s 0 m/s
Chinook salmon can cover more distance in less time by periodically making jumps out of the water. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.03 m/s at 40.6° above the horizontal, re-enters the water a distance L upstream, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 2.92 m/s before jumping out again. What is the fish's average horizontal velocity (in m/s) between jumps? (Round your answer to at least 2 decimal places.) Consider the interval of time necessary to travel 2L. How is this reduced by the combination of jumping and swimming compared with just swimming at the constant speed of 92m/s? Express the reduction as a percentage. What If? Some salmon are able to jump a distance Lout of the water while only swimming a distance L/4 between jumps. By what percentage are these salmon faster than those requiring an underwater swim of distance L? (Assume the salmon jumps out of the water with velocity 03m/s…
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at = 15.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94). The slope where she will land is inclined downward at = 50.0, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included. Figure P4.49
A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
A fireman d = 50.0 m away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of i = 30.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.18. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is vi = 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building? Figure P3.18
A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed v0. At the same time, a second student drops a lighter blue ball from the same balcony. Neglecting air resistance, which statement is true? (a) The blue ball reaches the ground first, (b) The balls reach the ground at the same instant, (c) The red ball reaches the ground first, (d) Both balls hit the ground with the same speed, (e) None of statements(a) through(d) is true.
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
