Particles A and B move to the right along a horizontal line. They start at a point O, s meters isthe directed distance of the particle from O at t seconds, and the equations of motion for particlesA and B are s = 4t2 + 5t and s = 7t2 + 3t, respectively. If t = 0 at the start, for what values of twill the velocity of particle A exceed the velocity of particle B?
If you wanted to plot the range R (o the y-axis) versus a quantity that depends on the initial speed vi, not angle, such that the plot would be a straight line, what quantity would you choose to plot on the x-axis?

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.42arrow_forwardConsider an athlete running a 100-m race. How fast would she have to be running for her race to appear to her to be only 98 yd long? Give your answer in terms of c.arrow_forwardUse a graphing utility to generate the trajectory of a paper airplane whose equations of motion for t ≥ 0 arex = t − 2 sin t, y = 3 − 2 cos t Assuming that the plane flies in a room in which the floor is at y = 0, explain why the plane will not crashinto the floor. [For simplicity, ignore the physical size of the plane by treating it as a particle.] How high must the ceiling be to ensure that the plane does not touch or crash into it?arrow_forward
- An ant crawls on the surface of a ball of radius b in such a manner that the ant's motion is given in spherical coordinates by the equations r = b; phi = omega*t; theta = pi/2 * [1 + 1/4 * cos(400t)] Find the speed of the ant as a function of the time t.

How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus.

- A particle P projected from a point O on horizontal ground hits the ground after 2.4 seconds.The horizontal component of the initial velocity of P is 5/3 d ms-1The speed of P as it passes over the wall is 16ms-1(d) Find the value of d correct to 3 significant figures.May I have the answer for D please as the rules is only to do 3 of them so I asked separatelyarrow_forwardIn the vertical jump, an athlete starts from a crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor.To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2 (moving up from ymax/2 to ymax and then moving down to ymax/2) to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. You may ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardI need to solve v(sub y)=v(sub 0)sin θ(sub 0)-gt to find the time that it takes the projectile to reach maximum height (so I believe I'm solving for t?). I have previously found v(sub 0y) in part (a), but I'm unsure what v(sub 0) and v(sub y) are. How do I find those variables?arrow_forward
- Two runners start simultaneously from the same point on a circular 200-m track and run in opposite directions. One runs at a constant speed of 6.20 m/s, and the other runs at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s. When they first meet, (a) for how long a time will they have been running, and (b) how far will each one have run along the track?arrow_forwardAn object is projected straight upwards with an initial velocity U. If T is the time taken to return to the point of projection, H is the maximum height and g is the acceleration due to gravity, derive how to solve for: (a.) time of flight, T, and (b.) the maximum height, H, that the projectile can achieve.arrow_forwardThe positions of two particles on the s-axis ares1 = sin t and s2 = sin (t + π/3), with s1 and s2 in meters and t inseconds.
