John is standing on a steel beam 255.0 ft above the ground. Linda is standing 30.0 ft directly above John (a) For John to throw a hammer up to Linda, at what initial speed must John throw the hammer for it to just reach Linda? (b) Suppose the hammer reaches the correct height, but Linda just misses catching it. How long does someone on the ground have to move out of the way from the time the hammer reaches its maximum height? (c) At what speed does the hammer hit the ground?

- A rescue plane flies at 198 km/hr (55 m/s) at cruise height of 500m above the ocean over a struggling swimmer the pilot needs to release a rescue capsule so that it hits the water close to the swimmer What should the angle of the pilot's line of sight of the swimmer when the capsule is released?arrow_forwardA student is walking with a constant speed of ??1meters per second along High Street and sees a puddle ??1 meters ahead of her. A bus driver is driving parallel to the student along High Street as well. At the moment the bus is ??2meters behind the student, the bus driver decides he wants to splash he student with water by driving over the puddle as the student walks past. Determine the expression for the speed that the bus must have in terms of the given variables such that the bus and the student reach the puddle at the same time to splash the student.arrow_forwardYour bow can fire arrows at 70 ??. You shoot an arrow straight up into the air. After 1 second, you shoot anotherarrow into the air.a) If you are shooting the arrows from 2 m above the ground, how far above the ground do the arrowscollide? (Answer: 251 m)arrow_forward
- A rocket is landing vertically downward from a point 2 miles east of an observer on the ground. What is the speed of the rocket when the angle of elevation of the observer's line of sight to the rocket is 50° and is decreasing 5° per second?arrow_forwardA daredevil decides he wants to try and dive off the golden gate bridge . If it takes him 12 sec to hit the water, how high was the bridge from the water ?arrow_forwardThere is a drone flying 6m/s north relative to the air. There is a wind blowing from the east at 4m/s relative to the ground. What is the velocity and direction of the drone relative to the ground?arrow_forward
- A pipe discharges storm water into a creek. Water flows horizontally out of the pipe at 1.5 m/s, and the end of the pipe is 2.5 m above the creek. How far out from the end of the pipe is the point where the stream of water meets the creek?arrow_forwardAn athlete crosses a 28 meters wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance of 42 meters downstream from his starting point. w = 28md = 42m vs = 1.1m/s How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?arrow_forwardShe walks 15 meters east,then turn 10 meters south.

- A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of the coordinate axis has been drawn. The coordinates of the rabbit’s position as a function of time t are given by: x = -0.3t2 + 5t + 28 and y = 0.22t2 - 8t + 30 with t in seconds and x and y in meters. What is the velocity at t= 10 sec?arrow_forward(The complete question is in the picture) In one of his adventures, Mario stands on top of a magic platform that vanishesthe moment he jumps away from it. The platform is 20.0 [m] above the ground. If Mariojumps directly upward and takes 1.60 [s] to reach a maximum height of 12.5 [m] from theplatform, how long will it take him to reach the ground from the moment he jumps fromthe vanishing platform?A. 2.58 [s]B. 3.20 [s]C. 4.18 [s]D. 5.16 [s]arrow_forwardA boat is moving atv12kph is crossing a river 500 m wide in which a current is flowing at 4 kph.
