- A rocket blasts off and its vertical velocity increases with time there is air resistance). DRAW THE APPROPRIATE FORCE OR FREEBODY DIAGRAM.arrow_forwardA pirate ship is rapidly approaching your fort! You bravely station yourself at the mounted cannon but find to your dismay that you have only one cannonball. Not only this, yoour cannon is rusted in place and can only fire at an angle theta = 10.0 degrees up from the horizontal. To prevent a siege on your fort, you must fire your cannon at exactly the correct moment to strike the enemy ship at the base of its mast. You know that your cannon is stationed on a wall a height h = 8.00 m above your target , and that it fires at a speed of v1 = 205 m/s. You will use this information to determine the distance d at which the pirate ship is in your cannon's range. Part 1: Determine the initial vertical velocity v1,y and the initial horizonal velocity v1,x of the cannonball. Part 2: If the cannonball starts its trajectory at a height y1 = h, determine its height y2 at the top of its arc and the time t2 it takes to get there. Part 3: How long will it take for the cannonball to fall from the…arrow_forwardThe force on an airplane’s wing from the air flowing past it is mostly perpendicular to the wing’s flat surface; this is the force that holds the plane aloft in level flight. Given this fact, why do planes “bank” when making a turn?arrow_forward

(d) Neither.arrow_forwardChoose the BEST answer to the following: The component of velocity that can remain constant for a tossed baseball is (a) horizontal. (b) vertical. (c) Either of these. (d) None of these.arrow_forwardA special aircraft which is used for climate research rises with a constant speed at an incline of 35 degree with the vertical. It releases a projectile shaped measurement probe an altitude of 3km. The probe hits the ground 1 min and 17 seconds after the release. Air resistance can be neglected.1.
