Choose a point before the turnaround and another after.
In the space below, draw the velocity vectors and label them
Draw the vector that must be added to the velocity at the earlier time to obtain the velocity at the later time.
Is the name change in velocity that you used in sections I and II also appropriate for this vector?

- The angle of the ramp is changed such that it is larger than theta but less than 90 degrees while the height of the ramp remains the same. h. How would the maximum height of the box compare to the original scenario in which the ramp angle was equal to theta? Justify your answer. i. Would the slope of the graph of vertical velocity as a function of time shown above be different for this scenario in which the box is launched from a larger angle? Justify your response.arrow_forwardHow do I solve for the acceleration and direction in part b? I followed the steps that they showed in the textbook and still got it wrong.arrow_forwardBruce begins 7 kilometers to the north of town and rides his bike along a straight trail which leads to a park 3km west of town. It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes? Then eliminate the parameter to get a rectangular equation for this linear path and verify algabraically amd graphically that this equation represents the line.arrow_forward
- Your boat is moving at a speed of 15 miles per hour at an angle of 25° upstream on a river flowing at 4 miles per hour.The situation is illustrated in the figure. a. Find the vector representing your boat’s velocity relative to the ground. b. What is the speed of your boat, to the nearest mile per hour, relative to the ground? c. What is the boat’s direction angle, to the nearest tenth of a degree, relative to the ground?arrow_forwardA basketball player made a smooth shot as shown in the diagram below. The ball was launched at an initial velocity of 8.2 meters per second at an angle of 72 degrees to the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. (a) How much time, in seconds, does it take the ball to reach point B? (b) What is the final velocity of the ball, in meters per second, at point B? (c) What is the value of x (the horizontal distance between the initial position of the ball and the center of the ring), in meters?arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution... A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.50 m/s and observes that it takes 2.3 s to reach the water. How high (in m) above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable. ____marrow_forward
- Given the vectors in the preceding figure, find vector Rthat solves equations (a) D+R=Fand (b) D-2D+5R=3F . Assume the +x -axis is horizontal to the right.arrow_forwardFigure P4.8 shows the motion diagram of two balls. The time interval between images is 0.036 s. Each ball starts at point i. The ball on the left is released and falls straight down. At the same time, the ball on the right is launched horizontally and follows the path shown. a. Write the velocity and acceleration of each ball as a function of time. b. What is the velocity and acceleration of each ball at i, G, and K? c. Compare your answers for the two balls in part (b). What similarities do you notice? FIGURE P4.8 Problems 8 and 26.arrow_forwardAs 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.arrow_forward
- For the vectors in the earlier figure, find (a) (AF)D , (b) (AF)(DB) , and (c) (AF)(DB) .arrow_forwardCan you help me answer this? Solve separately by letter and explain how you get the answer. Thank you. About projectile motion.arrow_forwardA fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit)arrow_forward
