A If the vector components of a particles position moving in the xy plane as a function of time are x=bt2i and y=ct3j, where b and c are positive constants with the appropriate dimensions such that the components will be in meters, at what time t is the angle between the particles velocity and the x axis equal to 45?
An aircraft flies at constant altitude (with respect to sea level) over the South Rim of the Grand Canyon (Fig. P3.40, page 83). Consider a coordinate system such that the positive x axis points to the east, and the positive y axis points north. The aircrafts initial position and velocity are 1350 m at an angle of 145 and 60.0 m/s at an angle of 55.0 where both angles are measured counterclockwise with respect to the positive x axis. The aircrafts acceleration is 4.0 m/s2 at an angle of 195 with respect to the positive x axis. a. What is the velocity of the aircraft after 7.50 s have elapsed? b. What is the position vector of the aircraft after 7.50 s have elapsed?

Frequently, a weapon must be fired at a target that is closer than the weapons maximum range. To hit such a target, a weapon has two possible launch angles (Fig. P4.68A): one higher than 45 (H) and one lower than 45 (L). Although the displacement of the projectile is the same for the two angles, a projectile launched at H has a longer flight time and a higher peak position than one launched at L. Usually, some tactical situation makes one angle preferable to the other. For example, if the projectile must go over some nearby object such as a grove of trees, the higher angle may be desirable. A shorter flight time and therefore L are preferable if the target is mobile. In practice, many weapons are designed to operate either at angles lower than 45 or at angles higher than 45, but not both. Tanks, for example, often must face mobile targets; to minimize the time the target has to move, tanks fire at low angles. Grenades, on the other hand, are launched at high angles because a soldier launching a grenade is often close to the target, but has no armor plating for protection. The high launch angle allows the soldier to stay out of sight by hiding behind some obstacle, and the longer flight time may make it possible for the soldier to move farther from the exploding grenade. FIGURE P4.68 Imagine an unusual scenario in which a large gun mounted on a vehicle is required to hit an explosives factory (Fig. P4.68B). A huge explosion is expected, and there must be time for the gunner to retreat. A grove of trees provides cover. The maximum range of the gun is 17.6 km, and the maximum speed of the vehicle is 80.0 km/h. a. What is the muzzle speed v0? (Muzzle speed is the speed at which the projectile leaves the barrel of the gun.) b. The target is 5.5 km away. Find the low angle L and the high angle H at which the gunner may aim so as to hit the target. c. Find the time the projectile takes to hit the target for both angles. d. Assume the vehicle retreats at its maximum speed (80.0 km/h) to be as far from the ensuing explosion as possible. How far is it from the factory at the time of the explosion for each launch angle?

(b) What other angle gives the same range, and why would it not be used? (c) How long did this pass take?
