CALC To study damage to aircraft that collide with large birds, you design a test gun that will accelerate chicken-sized objects so that their displacement along the gun barrel is given by x = (9.0 × 103 m/s2)t2 − (8.0 × 104 m/s3)t3. The object leaves the end of the barrel at t = 0.025 s. (a) How long must the gun barrel be? (b) What will be the speed of the objects as they leave the end of the barrel? (c) What net force must be exerted on a 1.50-kg object at (i) t = 0 and (ii) t = 0.025 s?

- The velocity of a parachutist as a function of time is given by v = vf + (v0 - vf)e-t/2.5, where t = 0 s corresponds to the instant the parachute is opened, v0 = 160 km/h is the velocity before opening of the parachute, and vf = 18 km/h is the final (terminal) velocity. What acceleration does the parachutist experience just after opening the parachute?

Relative to an x, y coordinate system at time t = 0 s, the x components of the puck's initial velocity and acceleration are v0x = +5.6 m/s and ax = +9.5 m/s2. The y components of the puck's initial velocity and acceleration are v0y = +3.1 m/s and ay = -3.0 m/s2.

Specify the direction relative to the +x axis.arrow_forwardA projectile is fired horizontally at V0 velocity from the top of an h-high cliff. Immediately after, it enters a fixed tube of length x. There is friction between the bullet and the tube, and the friction causes the bullet to slow down with constant ax acceleration. After the bullet leaves the tube, it fires a normal oblique shot towards the ground. Calculate the horizontal path of the bullet.
