- A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure P3.46arrow_forward(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.arrow_forwardDifferential Equation "Rectilinear motion And Escape Velocity " (TOPIC) Please show solutions Thankyouu!arrow_forward

- A golf ball leaves the ground with an initial velocity vo = voxî + vovĵ. The ball hits a vertical wall which is located a horizontal distance b from the point of projection. When the ball strikes the wall, it is at a height h above the ground and it is moving horizontally. Which of the following choices correctly relates the ratio h/b to the components (vox , Voy) of the initial velocity.

The bridge is not level, so the people are all different heights above the river. Each person throws a stone to the river. a) The first person is 26.8 m above the river and throws her stone with a speed of 16.6 m/s at an angle of 6 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). How long does it take her stone to hit the water, in seconds? b) The second person is 19.0 m above the river and throws his stone with a speed of 17.1 m/s at an angle of -21.4 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the range of his stone, in meters? c)The third person is 9.1 m above the river and throws their stone with a speed of 6.5 m/s at an angle of 9.3 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below).
