Suppose a person standing on the edge of a cliff throws a ball upward at a speed of 18.0 m/s, so that the ball can fall to the base of the cliff 60.0 m below. a) Sketch a diagram to show the motion of the ball.b) How long does it take to reach the base of the cliff? c) What is the total distance traveled by the ball?' Ignore air resistance (likely to be significant, so our result is an approximation)
The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by h = 3t^2+2.0t^4, where h is in meters and t is in seconds. At t=2.0s, the helicopter releases a small bag. a) Calculate the maximum height the bag reaches measured from the ground. b) How long after the bad is released, does it strike the ground? c) Calculate the speed of vag when it hits the ground.
Sure, I can help with that! For the speed vs base graph, we will plot the average velocity for each of the ramp angles (20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 70°) on the y-axis, and the distance travelled (base) on the x-axis. For the speed vs height graph, we will plot the average velocity for each of the ramp angles on the y-axis, and the height of the ramp on the x-axis. For the speed vs slope graph, we will plot the average velocity for each of the ramp angles on the y-axis, and the slope of the ramp (rise over run) on the x-axis. now using this information creat these 3 graphs for the table down below, Ramp angle in degrees Distance (in m) time 1 (s) time 2 (s) time 3 (s) T-avg Velocity(m/s) 20 1.7 0.8 0.7 0.9 0.8 2.125 m/s 30 1.5 0.9 1.1 1.0 1.0 1.5 m/s 45 2 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.4 1.54 m/s 60 1.8 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.7 1.125 m/s 70 1.9 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.0 1.06 m/s
Six baseball throws are shown below. In each case the baseball is thrown at the same initial speed and from the same height H above the ground. Assume that the effects of air resistance are negligible. Rank these throws according to the speed of the baseball the instant before it hits the ground. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. • View Available Hint(s) Reset Help A E H H H F largest smallest
An insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) has been called the best juniper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at over 4.0 103 m/s2 during a displacement of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially equipped jumping legs. (a) Assuming uniform acceleration, what is the insect's speed after it has accelerated through this short distance? (b) How long does it take to reach that speed? (c.) How high could the insect jump if air resistance could be ignored? Note that, the actual height obtained is about 0.70 m, so air resistance is important here.
If an object is thrown straight up and air resistance is negligible, then its speed when it returns to the starting point is the same as when it was released. If air resistance were not negligible how would its speed upon return compare with its initial speed? why ? Explain. How would the maximum height to which it rises be affected? why? Explain.

NASA has fired a rocket straight up into the air from ground level with an unknown initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec. Please round your answers to two decimal places. a). Find the time it takes for the rocket to reach maximum height. b). find the initial velocity necessary to reach that height.

Suppose you throw a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree, and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coconut on the way down. Neglecting air resistance, how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it had hit the coconut on the way up? Is it more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.
