Greg has a vertical velocity of 3 m/s when he leaves the diving board. At this instant, his center of gravity is 5 m above the water. How long will Greg be in the air before he touches the water? Assume that he first touches the water when his center of gravity is 1m above the water. (please include 2 decimal places in your answer)
a) A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is
commonly uscd to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm-
diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm, as shown in Fig. PI1-35.
The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For
a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum
torque this turbine applies on the pivot.

- At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 8.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m. A diver runs horizontally along the diving board with a speed of v0 = 4.2 m/s and then falls into the pool. Neglect air resistance. Use a coordinate system with the horizontal x-axis pointing in the direction of the diver’s initial motion, and the vertical y-axis pointing up. Calculate the time tw it takes the diver to fall off the end of the diving board to the pool's surface in terms tw in seconds.arrow_forwardWhen the red kangaroo of Australia is moving at full speed, it can bounce at a speed of 8.5 meters per second, at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal.

The water has a speed of 25.0 m>s as it leaves the end of the hose and then exhibits projectile motion. The firemen adjust the angle of elevation a of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s to reach a building 45.0 m away. Ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level. (a) Find a. (b) Find the speed and acceleration of the water at the highest point in its trajectory. (c) How high above the ground does the water strike the building, and how fast is it moving just before it hits the building?arrow_forwardThe seed pods of maple trees, also known as "helicopter seeds," spin as they fall, generating a leading edge vortex at the outer edge of each wing-like seed pod. This effect, similar to the vortices generated by hummingbird wings, can generate a sufficient lift force to keep the seed floating in air, allowing it to be dispersed by the wind. The figure below shows a pair of maple seeds L = 3.40 cm in length, with an angle of 70.0⁰ separating the seeds, as shown. If the outer edge of the seeds must rotate with a speed of 1.25 m/s for sufficient lift to be generated, what is the centripetal acceleration of the outer edge of the seeds (in m/s²) as they fall? (Enter the magnitude. Assume the seeds are symmetric about the vertical axis as they fall, as in the figure.) =arrow_forward

- A 76.0 kg rock is rolling horizontally at the top of a vertical cliff that is 20 m above the surface of a lake . The top of the vertical face of a dam is located 100 m from the foot of the cliff, with the top of the dam level with the surface of the water in the lake. A level plain is 25 m below the top of the dam. (a) What must be the minimum speed of the rock just as it leaves the cliff so that it will reach the plain without striking the dam? (b) How far from the foot of the dam does the rock hit the plain?arrow_forwardYou are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding an island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 105 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct…arrow_forwardA landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park.

(Assume the water must land 2 m from the wall to provide adequate space for a person to walk beneath the waterfall.) Yes or No ? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-seventeenth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
