Show transcribed image text 46. N Karen and Randy are playing with a toy car and track. They set up the track on the floor as shown in Figure P8.46. where the apparatus on the far left is used to launch the car forward h pressing down un the top portion. After the car is launched. it follows the track and continues, leaving the track at an angle of 35 degree with respect to the floor, at a height of 0.35 m above the floor. If the car has a mass of 130 g and it leaves the track with a speed of 3.85 m/s, what is the maximum height reached by the car, relative to the floor? Use conservation of energy to solve this problem. Ignore the effects of friction and air resistance.

Anthony carelessly rolls his toy car off a 74.0-cm-high table. The car strikes the floor a horizontal distance of 97.0 cm from the edge of the table. a. What was the velocity with which the car left the table? b. What was the angle of the cars velocity with respect to the floor just prior to impact?
A graduate student discovers that the only centrifuge in the laboratory is malfunctioning. The angular speed was supposed to be adjustable, but now it is stuck on a high angular speed, and the student is running an experiment that requires a low translational speed. Fortunately, the arm is adjustable. What can the student do to the length of the arm to get the correct translational speed?

You kick a soccer ball so rolls along the ground at 15 m/s. It goes up a ramp that is angled at60° to the horizontal. The ramp is 1.5 m long.(a) When the soccer ball reaches the end of the ramp, how fast is it traveling?(b) How far from the base of the ramp does the soccer ball land?A soccer ball is a hollow sphere.
(A) A large panel van has a velocity of 30 m/s at 20° S of E in still-air. A gust of wind of 20 m/s due East relative to the Earth strikes the van. What is the resultant velocity of the van relative to the Earth, during the gust?
a. A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (see figure 1). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon rolls over the edge with an initial speed vi = 14.0 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 = 12x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank? b. From the relationship between the launch angle ?, and the horizontal range R, for a dart launched with a speed v. This assumed that the launcher and the target were on the same horizontal level. Relax this assumption and place the launcher at some elevation h above the target, as in figure 2. i. Derive the symbolic equation relating the range R, to the launch angle ?, launch speed v, launcher elevation h, and…
A baseball player hits a ball 1.1m above the plate at an angle of 42 degrees at a speed of 35 m/s. In order to hit a home run, the ball has to clear a 2.4 m tall wall, 120 m away from the plate. a) sketch the situation, including a coordinate system and the ball's trajectory. b)how many seconds is the ball in the air, which it reaches the wall? c) does the ball go over the wall for a home run? (find its vertical position at the appropriate time) d) what is the ball's speed and direction, as it reaches the wall?
(a) What is the speed of the roller coaster, in meters per second, at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.9g? Note that g here is the acceleration due to gravity. (b) The beginning of this roller coaster is at the top of a high hill. If it started from rest at the top of this hill, how high, in meters, above the top of the loop is this initial starting point? You may assume there is no friction anywhere on the track. (c) If it actually starts 6.5 m higher than your answer to the previous part (yet still reaches the top of the loop with the same velocity), how much energy, in joules, did it lose to friction? Its mass is 1400 kg.
