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?

the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angleof 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot?
The cannon on a battleship ship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 39.0km What's the velocity of the shell? What maximum height does it reach? How many meters lower will its surface be 39 from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat earth in projectile motion is significant here?
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.

Agent Bond is standing on a bridge, 15 m above the roadbelow, and his pursuers are getting too close for comfort.He spots a flatbed truck approaching at 25m/s which hemeasures by knowing that the telephone poles the truck ispassing are 25 m apart in this region. The roof of the truckis 3.5 m above the road, and Bond quickly calculates howmany poles away the truck should be when he drops downfrom the bridge onto the truck, making his getaway. Howmany poles is it?

In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushesoff with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose theextension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m andthe acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times theacceleration due to gravity, g . How far can they jump? Stateyour assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved byswinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)
GIVEN THE FOLLOWING SITUATION, GIVE WHAT IS ASKED. 1.In order to save the world from an alien invasion, the military needs to strike the newly landed alien spacecraft with an atomic bomb. The distance from the launch facility to the spacecraft is 152.77 km. Given that the missile was launched with a velocity of 15 m/s at 57° from the horizon, will the missile reach its destination and why?
A projectile is launched 35 degrees at a speed of 18 m/s, neglecting air resistance. At what speed and angle will it return to its original level? Why?
Check Your Understanding If the two golf shots in Example 4.9 were bunched at the same speed, which shot would have the greatest range? When we speak of the range of a projectile on level ground, we assume R is very small compared with the circumference of Earth. If, however, the range is large, Earth curves away below the projectile and the acceleration resulting from gravity changes direction along the path. The range is larger than predicted by the range equation given earlier because the projectile has father to fail than it would on level ground, as shown in Figure 4.17, which is based on a drawing in Newton’s Principia. If the initial speed is great enough, the projectile goes into orbit. Earth’s surface drops every 8000 m. In 1 s an object falls 5 m without a resistance. Thus, if an object is given a horizontal velocity of 8000 m/s (or 18,000 mi/hr) near Earth’s surface, it will go into orbit around the planet because, the surface continuously falls away from object Thu is roughly the speed of the Space Shuttle in a low Earth orbit when it was operational, or any satellite in a low Earth orbit. These and other aspects of orbital motion, such as Earth’s rotation, are covered in greater depth in Gravitation. Figure 4.17 Projectile to satellite. In each case shown here, a projectile is launched from a very high tower to avoid air resistance. With increasing initial speed, the range increases and becomes longer than t would be on level ground because Earth curves away beneath its path. With a speed of 8000 m/s, orbit is achieved.
