Predict/Calculate A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak (Figure 4-20). The clam lands on the rocky beach 2.10 s later. Just before the clam lands, what are (a) its horizontal component of velocity, and (b) its vertical component of velocity? (c) How would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the speed of the crow were increased? Explain.

- A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P3.48). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon leaves the hood of the truck with an initial speed vi = 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola, with its vertex at the initial location of the projected watermelon and with the equation y2 = 16x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?arrow_forwardAbram threw his tennis ball upward from the ground at an angle of 50 degrees with respect to the horizontal ground. It left his hand with an initial speed of 40m/sec. a) What is the time it will take it be before the tennis ball hits the ground? b) how far from the starting point will it strike? c) what is the maximum height reached? d) where will the body be (horizontal and vertical distances) after 10 secs?arrow_forwardAn object is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 35° with the vertical above the ground. a) What is the maximum horizontal distance reached by the object? b) What is the total flight time of the object? c) What is the velocity of the object upon hitting the target?arrow_forward
- From the edge of the roof of a 40 m high building an object is thrown with a speed v0 = 70 m / s and a throw angle with respect to the horizontal of 55 °. Determine: a) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity. b) The distance from the base of the building at which the object will fall to the ground c) The time the object is in the air from when it is thrown until it reaches the ground. d) The maximum height that the object will reach above the ground. e) The velocity v of the object at the moment it hits the ground. f) The angle a with respect to the vertical with which the object reaches the ground.arrow_forwardA game requires that two children throw a ball upward as high as possible at the same point and then to run horizontally in opposite directions. Thechild who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground winds. One child throws the ball at his arm’s height of 4.5 ft at aspeed of 69 ft/sec and runs leftward at a speed of 16 ft/sec. The other child does the same but was able to throw better releasing his ball at a heigh of6 ft at a speed of 71 ft/sec then runs rightward at a speed of 17 ft/sec. Which child wins the game? ***Applying principles of dynamics, provide a complete solution and understandable handwritingarrow_forwardHelp with three part question A)If a rock is dropped (vo = 0) from a height of 42 m, the time to hit the ground will be? B) If a rock is thrown or shot horizontally sideways (the initial velocity in the y-dir voy = 0) from a height of 45 m, the time to hit the ground will be? C)If a rock is thrown or shot horizontally sideways (the initial velocity in the y-dir voy = 0) with a speed of 37 m/s from a height of 53 m, how far will the rock travel in the x-dir?arrow_forward
- 2) During a thunderstorm, a tornado lifts a car to a height of 125 meters above the ground. Increasing in strength, the tornado flings the car horizontally with an initial speed of 90.0 m/s. a) How long does the car take to reach the ground? b) How far horizontally does the car travel before hitting the ground?arrow_forwardYou are at the edge of the cliff at a height of 50 m. calculate how long it would take for a stone to hit the ground in each of the three cases A) you just drop the stone from rest, B) you throw the stone with a speed of 18.5 m/s in a horizontal direction, C) you throw the stone with the same initial speed, but an angle of 30° above the horizontal. D) Also calculate how far from the foot of the cliff the stone lands in each case described above ( i.e. the horizontal range in each case.)arrow_forwardA ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 5.50 m with an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. A) How long will it take the ball to reach the ground? B) At what horizontal distance from the point of release will it strike the ground? C) What will be the magnitude of its velocity when it strikes the ground? D) At what direction will it strike the ground?arrow_forward
