- A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of vi = 18.0 m/s. The cliff is h = 50.0 m above a body of water as shown in Figure P4.13. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? (b) What are the components of the initial velocity of the stone? (c) What is the appropriate analysis model for the vertical motion of the stone? (d) What is the appropriate analysis model for the horizontal motion of the stone? (e) Write symbolic equations for the x and y components of the velocity of the stone as a function of time. (f) Write symbolic equations for the position of the stone as a function of time. (g) How long after being released does the stone strike the water below the cliff? (h) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? Figure P4.13arrow_forwardA student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18.0 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in Figure P3.7. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? (c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time, (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in Figure P3.7. (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? Figure P3.7arrow_forwardA person standing at the top of a hemispherical rock of radius R kicks a ball (initially at rest on the top of the rock) to give it horizontal velocity V, as shown in Figure P4.84. (a) What must be its minimum initial speed if the ball is never to hit the rock after it is kicked? (b) With this initial speed, how far from the base of the rock does the ball hit the ground?arrow_forward
- An athlete threw the ball at an angle of 30° up and the left from the ground at a velocity of 90 m/s. a. What was the horizontal velocity of the ball? b. What was the vertical velocity of the ball?arrow_forwardA rescue plane flies at 198km/hr and at a constant elevation of 500m toward a point directly over an accident victim struggling in the sea. The pilot must release a rescue capsule so that it hits the water very close to the victim.a). what should be the angle of the pilot’s line of sight when the capsule is released? EVb) what is the velocity of the rescue in the vertical plane when the capsule is released? APc). as the capsule reaches the water, what is its velocity ?̅in i. the unit vector notation? ANii. magnitude- angle notationarrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from a height of 1.75 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 32 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 3.65 s later.a. what is the maximum height reached by the arrow along its trajectory in meters?b. what is the arrows speed just before hitting the cliff in m/s?arrow_forward
- A crazy person jumped off a 100-meter cliff because of climate change (it's hot, you know). He is launched up in the air at a velocity of 20m/s in a direction making an angle of 250 upward with the horizontal, a. What is the maximum height reached by the crazy person? b. What is the total time flight (between launch and touching the ground) of the crazy person? c. What is the horizontal range of the crazy person? d. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the crazy person just before it hits the ground? Add solution.arrow_forwardA cannonball is fired off a cliff at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 80 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 50 m/s. (a) What is the range of the rock? (b) When the cannonball hits the ground what is the magnitude of its total velocity?arrow_forwardYou're playing a cartoony racing video game, with a character on a motorcycle. You drive your character off a ledge at 15 m/s. The next ledge for the character's bike to land on is 25 m away (horizontally) and 12 m below. Assume the video game has realistic physics coded into it, except that acceleration due to gravity is only 8.0 m/s^2. a) will your character land on the next platform? b) whether they land or not, find their velocity (magnitude and direction) as they either land on or pass through the 12 m below position.arrow_forward
- You throw a ball up at some angle above the horizontal so that its velocity is (v0x, v0y). You then run 22.0 m forward on level ground and catch the ball 2.90 s later at the same altitude it was released from. a) How high above the release point did the ball reach? b) What was the horizontal component of the ball’s initial velocity, v0x? c) What was the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity, v0y?arrow_forwardA cannonball is fired with a velocity of 40 m/s 300 above the horizontal from the top of a cliff 50 meters high. (a) How much time will it take to travel to ground level? (b) What is the highest point reached measured from ground level? (c) What is the range of the cannonball? (d) With what velocity did the cannonball strike the ground?(please help me I'm in rush, make the solution clear)arrow_forwardA cannon ball is launched with a speed of 120 m/s at an angle of 30°. a) How fast is the cannonball moving when it reaches the highest point of its trajectory? b) How fast is the cannonball moving before it strikes the ground?arrow_forward
