I am working on a problem that asks me to find out the acceleration of an object on a ramp, and I have drawn the first image. From it we could clearly see that a = g * sin (theta). But that formula does not work for all a-> because, as shown in the second image when a is larger, it is not a right triangle, so we cannot take a = g * sin (theta) to find a in this example, am I right?
A rescue plane flies at 198 km/hr (55 m/s) at cruise height of 500m above the ocean over a struggling swimmer the pilot needs to release a rescue capsule so that it hits the water close to the swimmer What should the angle of the pilot's line of sight of the swimmer when the capsule is released?
A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a strait, horizontal track at a constant speed of 16ˍm/s. The student throws a ball into the air along a path he judges to make an initial angle of 64° with the horizontal (toward the rear of the car) and to be in line with the track. The student’s professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. With what initial speed does the professor see the ball rise?
