As shown in Figure 2.9, Whipple chose a coordinate system that was different from Cralls. There are many possible coordinate systems that can be used to analyze the motion of the cart. For example, a third student (Yoon) chose to place the origin of her coordinate system at position A (the) carts initial position) and use a southward-pointing y axis as her positive axis. a. Use the distance information given in Table 2.2 to make a new table that gives the carts position at each of the 16 times according to Yoons coordinate system. Hint: A sketch similar to Figure 2.9 is a good place to start. b. Use the data in your table to make a new position-versus-time graph. Hint: CHECK and THINK about your graph by comparing it with Figure 2.6.
A certain physics problem about projectile motion has several parts, as listed in the questions below. For each, write out what variables (y, vy, ay, t, x, vx, etc) need to be solved for in each part, and at what event or condition, also expressed using symbols and/or known values. For example: “Find ______ (variable) when _______ (variable) equals ________.” How long until the projectile hits the ground? How far has the projectile travelled horizontally, when it hits the ground? What is the projectile’s speed the moment before ithits the ground? What is the projectile’s direction (angle) of flight, just before hitting the ground? How long until the projectile reaches its maximum altitude? What is that maximum altitude? How long until the projectile reaches a wall/building standing 100 m away (horizontally)?
Sir Joey who works in Oman terribly misses his country, Philippines which is approximately 7,004 km vector due west. Due to homesickness, he booked a flight on his way home with a top speed of 650 km/hr. During his flight, the plane experienced a 75 km/hr wind blowing in the direction of 60 degrees south of east. What would be the net velocity of his flight? What would be the shortest amount of Sir Joey’s flight time?
Solve the problem. PROVIDE THE GIVEN, REQUIRED, EQUATION, SOLUTION, AND FINAL ANSWER The charter day of Manila is usually celebrated with a fireworks display. In one of the displays, a shell was shot into the air with an initial speed of 87.0 m/s at an angle of 85.0º above the horizontal. The fuse was timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. Solve for the following: a) height at which the shell explodes; b) time passed between the launch of the shell and the explosion c) horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes.
A cannon is fired at 400 ft/s at an angle of 80 degrees. What is the max height that the cannonball reaches? How long did it take for it to reach its max height? What is the range of the cannonball? Make a simple sketch. Make a list of all given values, units, and the variables they represent. write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Insert the known values and solve. State at the start of the problem which direction is positive by using an up or down arrow. Keep the velocity components and time to 2 decimal places
Can you help me answer this? Solve separately by letter and explain how you get the answer. Thank you. About projectile motion.
PLEASE INCLUDE ALL COMPUTATION NEEDED DescriptionProjectile motion simulation of the classic monkey-hunter problem. There is a monkey hanging from a tree branch. Your goal is to shoot the monkey (with a tranquilizer dart, of course - no monkeys were harmed in the making of this simulation). The only problem is that the monkey will let go of the branch at the moment you fire the tranquilizer gun. You must decide where to aim, knowing that the monkey will be falling when the dart hits him. The dart must hit the little white circle on the monkey's back for you to succeed. The dotted line represents the straight line in the direction of the initial velocity of the projectile. This is the direction at which the dart is aimed. Adjust the launch angle of the dart so that the sight line points where you think it should so that the dart will hit the monkey. Press the "fire" button and see if your dart hits its target. After you have succeeded in hitting the monkey with the dart, try hitting it…
Introduction: For this Laboratory, we are going to use the Phet Interactive Laboratory to determine the effects of initial velocity, angle and mass to the maximum height, time of flight and range of a projectile. Figure 1. Projectile Motion Procedure I (Varying Projectile Mass): 1) On your browser, type the following url: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/projectile-motion/latest/projectile-motion_en.html 2) After the page loads, select the Lab option that shows on your computer screen. This should bring you to the screen as you see in Figure 1. 3) Set the angle of the cannon at 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal. 4) Set the initial velocity of the cannon at 5 m/s. 5) On the table located on the upper right hand corner of the screen, select different cannon mass values as shown on table 1. 6) Determine the total time of flight, height and range of the cannon projectile using the floating table located at the top of the screen. 7) Fill out all of the…
Using the concept of kinematic graphing, draw the displacement, velocity and acceleration curves for a condition where a track cyclist is undergoing constant horizontal acceleration at 2 m/s2 for the first 4 seconds of a race. Show calculations for displacement and velocity at 1, 2, 3 and 4 seconds and include these specific time points in your three plots. Assume the cyclist is at a stand still at time = 0 and his initial displacement and velocity are both equal to 0.
An air cannon shoots an 8 lb pumpkin with an initial velocity of 68 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. Calculate in any order: How much time does the pumpkin spend in the air (the total time)? How far does it go (the range)? What is its maximum height? Explain, what key assumption(s) do you make, and how would your answers be different if they are not true?
The 2010 Soccer World Cup played here in South Africa will always be a history to remember. That when Simphiwe Tshabalala scored a beautiful long range shot when Bafana Bafana was playing against Mexico in the opening game. After kicking the ball, it touched the goal-line (at ground level) 35.00 m. Use the above information to answer questions 12 to 15. Calculate: 12. Calculate the time at which the ball reached this maximum height. 13. The angle at which Tshabalala kicked the ball relative to the ground. 14. The vertical component of the initial velocity, Voy 15. The initial velocity at which he kicked the ball.
Explain your answer to each of the questions below using diagrams, equations, or anyexplanatory rules/principles. A tennis ball thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20 m/s straightupward. The building is 50 m high, and the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its waydown. Using t = 0 as the time the ball leaves the thrower’s hand, determine a. the velocity of the ball at this instant b. the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5 s
