A Lockheed Martin F-35 II lighting jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 90 m and a takeoff speed 70 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35’s acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of

- The sport with the fastest moving ball is jai alai, where measured speeds have reached 303 km/h. If a professional jai alai player faces a ball at that speed and involuntarily blinks, he blacks out the scene for 100 ms. How far does the ball move during the blackout?arrow_forwardA helicopter is in level flight with a constant horizontal speed of 11 m>s. At t = 0 it begins to accelerate vertically at0.96 m>s2. Assuming the helicopter’s acceleration remains constant for the time interval of interest, find (a) the horizontal and vertical distances through which it moves in 5.3 s and (b) its x and y velocity components at t = 5.3 s.arrow_forwardThe catapult of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln accelerates an F/A-18 Hornet jet fighter from rest to takeoff speed of 173 mi/h in a distance of 307 ft. How much time does it take for the fighter to accelerate to takeoff speed?arrow_forward
- A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.55 m/s. When the balloon is 2.91 m above the ground, the balloonist accidentally drops a compass over the side of the balloon. How much time elapses before the compass hits the ground?arrow_forwardparticle A moves along the line y 30 m with a constant velocity of magnitude 3.0 m/s and parallel to the x axis. At the instant particle A passes the y axis, particle B leaves the origin with a zero initial speed and a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.40 m/s2.What angle u between and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision?arrow_forwardFrom the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 8.1 m/s After 0.46 s, how far beneath the top of the cliff is the stone? (Give just the distance fallen, that is, a magnitude.) marrow_forward
- A rock is At t = 0, a particle leaves the origin with a velocity of 12 m/s in the positive x direction and moves in the xy plane with a constant acceleration of (–2i + 4j) m/s2. At the instant the y coordinate of the particle is 18 m, what is the x coordinate of the particle?arrow_forwardA particle moves along the x axis according to the equation x = 2.00 + 3.00t 1.00t2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. At t = 3.00 s, find (a) the position of the particle, (b) its velocity, and (c) its acceleration.arrow_forwardA blue car of length 4.52 m is moving north on a roadway (hat intersects another perpendicular roadway (Fig. P2.81, page 58). The width of the intersection from near edge to far edge is 28.0 m. The blue car has a constant acceleration of magnitude 2.10 m/s2 directed south. The time interval required for the nose of the blue car to move from the near (south) edge of the intersection to the north edge of the intersection is 3.10 s. (a) How far is the nose of the blue car from the south edge of the intersection when it stops? (b) For what time interval is any part of the blue car within the boundaries of the intersection? (c) A red car is at rest on the perpendicular intersecting roadway. As the nose of the blue car enters the intersection, the red car starts from rest and accelerates east at 5.60 m/s2. What is the minimum distance from the near (west) edge of the intersection at which the nose of the red car can begin its motion if it is to enter the intersection alter the blue car has entirely left the intersection?
