The lower robot travels at constant speed vfast and the upper robot travels at constant speed vslow. So both have zero acceleration. The initial vertical distance between them is D. Your challenge is to find the angle needed to cause a collision, the time of the collision, and the location of the collision.Some notes that may help:1. We can treat motion along the horizontal and vertical in the picture separately and write separate equations for them. Let’s call horizontal x and vertical y. 1. We then need to find kinematic equations for x and y for each robot. In other words you need equations for xslow, yslow, xfast, yfast.1. The fast robot has velocity in the x and y directions. The x-component of the robot’s velocity is while the y component is . The initial position of the fast robot is (0,0). So we can write the kinematic equations (eq 1) as and 1. The slow robot has velocity…arrow_forwardOBJECTIVE To show that the time of flight of a horizontal projectile is independent of its initial velocity To verify that the horizontal component of the velocity (vx) of a projectile is constant during its motion To study the relationship between the angle of the projectile (θ) and its range (dx).

- Disk - 0.20 m A coin C of mass 0.050 kg is placed on a horizontal disk at a distance of 0.20 m from the center, as shown above. The disk rotates at a constant rate in the clockwise direction as seen from above. The coin does not slip, and the time it takes for the coin to make a complete revolution is 1.2 s. a. The figure below shows the disk and coin as viewed from above. Draw and label vectors on the figure below to show the instantaneous acceleration and linear velocity vectors for the coin when it is at the position shown. b. Determine the speed of the coin. c. The rate of rotation of the disk is gradually increased. The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the disk is 0.50. Determine the speed of the coin when it just begins to slip. d. If the experiment in part (c) were repeated with a second, identical coin glued to the top of the first coin, how would this affect the answer to part (c) ?

Using vectors draw to scale the component vectors and the resultant from their collision. Then solve using your trigonometric functions.
