- A fisherman sets out upstream on a river. His small boat, powered by an outboard motor, travels at a constant speed v in still water. The water (Urns at a lower constant speed vw. The fisherman has traveled upstream for 2.00 km when his ice chest falls out of the boat. He notices that the chest is missing only after he has gone upstream for another 15.0 min. At that point, he turns around and heads back downstream, all the time traveling at the same speed relative to the water. He catches up with the floating ice chest just as he returns to his starting point. How last is the river flowing? Solve this problem in two ways. (a) First, use the Earth as a reference frame. With respect to the Earth, the boat travels upstream at speed v vw, and downstream at v + vw. (b) A second much simpler and more elegant solution is obtained by using the water as the reference frame. This approach has important applications in many more complicated problems; examples are calculating the motion of rockets and satellites and analyzing the scattering of subatomic particles from massive targets.arrow_forwardA basin surrounding a drain has the shape of a circular cone opening upward, having everywhere an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal.

(b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution? Suppose R is made two times larger. (c) Will the required speed increase, decrease, or stay constant? If it changes, by what factor?

- 46. Roller coasters use some of the most sophisticated technology. Safety is a big part of that technology. One of the reasons roller coasters require such sophisticated safety computers is for insurance and legal purposes. During the 1920s, 30s and 40s, roller coasters had a reputation of being wild, rough and very dangerous. They pulled up to 12 Gs (about 120 m/s²), which often snapped peoples' necks! They also tended to derail and ram into each other. Modern day coasters are practically run by computers. Computers are so important for the safety of roller coasters, they make riding a coaster safer than walking across the street. Computer calculations make it possible to dip, loop and nearly scare you to death without harming you. In testing a model of a looping roller coaster, an engineer observes that the current design would result in a zero normal force acting on the passengers at the top of the loop. (a) If the radius of the loop is 4.0 m, what is the speed of the model coaster…arrow_forwardA child standing on the edge of a sheer cliff wall throws a rock down towards the ground below.
