A projectile is launched on a horizontal plane with a speed of 30 m/s and an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The projectile explodes 1.5 seconds after launch, splitting into 2 parts. The first part, with 1/3 of the total mass, lands exactly at the origin of the launch. How far from the launch point will the second part fall?
A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of
1000 m/s at an angle of 370 above the
horizontal. If air is neglected, the horizontal
component of the projectile's velocity after 20
s is:
O 16 m/s
O 640 m/s
O 800 m/s
O 600 m/s

- Georgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut.

- Archerfish are one of the few fish that prey on land insects and other small animals. They do this by shooting a jet of water from their specialized mouths at an insect resting on a leaf or plant stem above the water (see photo). This often stuns the insect, causing it to fall into the water, where it can be eaten. In the drawing, an archerfish is shooting water toward an unsuspecting horsefly at rest on a blade of marsh grass above the surface of a pond. Use the information in the drawing to calculate how high (h) the horsefly is above the water. The initial velocity of the water (vo) is 3.2 m/s, and assume that the projected water reaches its maximum height above the pond's surface when it strikes the horsefly. to search Varren l'hotographic FOWL A O 1 10 OF 55°F Mostly cloudyarrow_forwardAn electronic is projected as shown in the figure with an initial speed of Vo = 5.83x106 m / s and at an angle of θ = 39.0, E = 1870 N / C (directed upwards), d = 1.97 cm and L = 6.20 cm.
