- Could I have help with this question?arrow_forwardYou throw two balls directly downwards from a height of 90 m, 3.0 s apart. You throw the first ball at a speed of 8.0 m/s. (a) At what speed must you throw the second ball if it is to reach the ground with the same speed as the first ball? (b) At what speed must you throw the second ball if it is to reach the ground at the same time as the first ball?arrow_forwardA student walks off the top of the CN Tower in Toronto, which has height 553 mm and falls freely. His initial velocity is zero. The Rocketeer arrives at the scene a time of 5.50 ss later and dives off the top of the tower to save the student. The Rocketeer leaves the roof with an initial downward speed v0v0. In order both to catch the student and to prevent injury to him, the Rocketeer should catch the student at a sufficiently great height above ground so that the Rocketeer and the student slow down and arrive at the ground with zero velocity. The upward acceleration that accomplishes this is provided by the Rocketeer's jet pack, which he turns on just as he catches the student; before then the Rocketeer is in free fall. To prevent discomfort to the student, the magnitude of the acceleration of the Rocketeer and the student as they move downward together should be no more than five times gg. 1)What is the minimum height above the ground at which the Rocketeer should catch the student?…arrow_forward
- An Osprey can fly horizontally (not diving) at a maximum speed of 70.0 km/hr. The bird takes off from rest at the edge of a cliff, heading east, and accelerates at a rate of 1.21 m/s2. The osprey can decelerate at higher rate of 2.43 m/s2. The Osprey can reach top speeds of about 84 mph. When doing so, it does not flap its wings. Rather, it relies on its gravitational force to accelerate it downwards. a. Assuming that it starts from rest, and assuming that drag forces are slim, how long will it take for the osprey to reach its top speed? b. How far does it travel during this time? c. Near the top speed, drag forces become important, and in fact the terminal velocity is determined by the drag force. Assuming that the osprey's body can be modeled as a cylinder, with its cross-sectional area equal to that of a circle with radius of 10 cm, what is the coefficient of drag C for a hawk?arrow_forwardTwo students are on a balcony 19.5 m above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at 16.6 m/s; at the same instant the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. The second ball just misses the balcony on the way down. (a) What is the difference in their time in air? (b) What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground? (c) How far apart are the balls 0.900 s after they are thrown?arrow_forwardChapter 2- questn-39 A ball is thrown from the ground at a speed of 15 m / s, while another ball starts free fall from 35 meters at the same time.

- Two friends are tossing balls from the main floor of the auditorium to the balcony. One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the balls at the same height above their feet. The balls are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up]. With what velocity should the girl on the balcony throw her ball at the same moment, so that both balls will be caught by the other person at exactly the same timearrow_forwardA typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?arrow_forwardTwo trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 60 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the (crazy) bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth.What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?arrow_forward
- A red train traveling at 20 m/s and a green train traveling at 40 m/s are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The breaks decelerates each train at the rate of 1 m/s˄2. What is the speed (in m/s) of the green train at impact?arrow_forwardA mountain climber stands at the top of a 20.0 m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones vertically downward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone had an initial velocity of -2.20 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone did the two stones hit the water? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have had, given that they hit the water simultaneously? (c) What was the velocity of each stone at the instant it hit the water?arrow_forwardA cannonball is fired at 171 (m/s), straight up in the air, by accident. Quickly realizing the error, the commanding officer orders the gunners to fire another cannonball straight up to hit the one coming down. In order to be safe, the two cannon balls must explode at a given hight of 636 (m). What is the maximum time (in seconds) the second cannonball can be fired after the first, such that the two cannaballs collide, exploding safely above the regiment? (s) How fast (velocity) will the first cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s) How fast (velocity) will the second cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s)arrow_forward
