Chapter 3, Problem 35PE
In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m and the acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times the acceleration due to gravity, g. How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)

- A prankster flips a coin off of the Empire Building at a height of 1054 feet above the ground. The initial vertical velocity of the coin is 1.20m/s. In real life, air resistance would limit the maximum speed the coin can attain during its fall, but if air resistance were not a factor and assuming it has practically no horizontal motion, answer the following questions. (1 foot = 0.3048m) a. What would the coin's velocity be when it hits the ground? b. How long would it take to hit? c. How high would the coin be halfway through the total falling time, and how fast would it be falling then?arrow_forwardA student fires a cannonball diagonally with a speed of 34.0m/s from a height of 33.0m as shown.

Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b. What angle ϕ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance. c. Since there's no air resistance, this is a problem in projectile motion. The goal is to find the point where the ball's parabolic trajectory intersects the incline. It is best to choose the x-axis to be horizontal and direct to the right, the y-axis to be vertical and direct to the up, and the origin to be at the point where the ball is fired. In the projectile equations, the launch angle α0 is measured from the horizontal. What is this angle in terms of (θ) and (ϕ)?arrow_forward
