Chapter 4, Problem 4.76AP
A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P4.76). 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 υi, = 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 mea-
sured in meters What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?

A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge. The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melons leaves the hood of the truck with an initial speed Vi=10.0m/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 metres.

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.
A pendulum with a cord of length r = 1.00 m swings in a vertical plane (Fig. P4.42). When the pendulum is in the two horizontal positions θ = 90.0° and θ = 270°, its speed is 5.00 m/s. Find the magnitude of (a) the radial acceleration and (b) the tangential acceleration for these positions. (c) Draw vector diagrams to determine the direction of the total acceleration for these two positions. (d) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the total acceleration at these two positions.

- A truck carrying watermelons stops suddenly at the edge of a washed-out bridge (see figure below). The sudden stop causes several watermelons to fly off the truck. One watermelon rolls over the cab of the truck and is moving with an initial speed v₁ = 16.0 m/s in the horizontal direction at the instant shown. The river bank's cross section 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 = 8x, where x and y are measured in meters. (The origin of the coordinate system is the initial position of the watermelon.) What are the x- and y-coordinates (in m) of the melon when it splatters on the bank? X = y = 3 3 Need Help?

The projectile is shot at 60° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 75 m/s. The hill can be approximated by a plane sloped at 20° to the horizontal.

The hole is only 100m away from the tee, and it is also 12m lower. Champion golfer Shooter McGavin hits a 9-iron at an angle of 50◦ with respect to the horizontal, and lands the ball right in the hole. Assume there is no wind or air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s^2. (sin 50◦ = 0.766, cos 50◦ = 0.643, tan 50◦ = 1.19, sin 45◦ = 0.707, cos 45◦ = 0.707, tan 45◦ = 1.00). What is the initial velocity of the ball? How long was the ball in the air? What was the maximum height? If Shooter had misjudged the hole, and hit the ball with the same velocity but at an angle of 45◦ instead, by how much would he have overshot the hole?arrow_forward

There is a small obstacle in the way, so the ball cannot simply roll to the hole –it must go up in the air. The player is able to shoot with an initial speed v0 = 7 m/s. The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.arrow_forward
