(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)
A basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (a) What vertical velocity does he need to rise 0.750 m above the floor? (b) How far from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?
MIT’s robot cheetah can jump over obstacles 46 cm high and has speed of 12.0 km/h. (a) If the robot launches itself at an angle of 60 at this speed, what is its maximum height? (b) What would the launch angle have to be to reach a height of 46 cm?
A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
A glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 85.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 35.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (Fig. P3.62). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)
A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of 50.0, giving the ball an initial speed of 38.2 m/s (Fig. P4.60). The ball lands on the elevated green, 5.50 m above the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. a. How much time passed while the ball was in the air? b. How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing? c. What was the peak height reached by the ball? FIGURE P4.60
.A body is projected downward at an angle of 30° with the horizontal from the top of a building 170m higri. ts initial speed is 40m/s. a. How long will it take before striking the ground? b. How far from the foot of the building will it strike? C. At what angle with the horizontal will it strike?
During a football game Aiden kicks a ball from the ground at the 30-yard line. He gives the ball an initial speed of 20 meters per second, at an initial angle of 36.9 degrees. a. One second after the kick how high is the ball above the ground measured in feet? b. How far away will the ball land on the ground measured in yards?
The problem relates to the gliding flight of flying squirrels. These squirrels glide from tree to tree at a constant speed, moving in a straight line tipped below the vertical and steadily losing altitude as they move forward. Short and long glides have different profiles. A squirrel in a typical long glide covers a horizontal distance of 16 m while losing 8.0 m of elevation. During this glide,a. What is the angle of the squirrel’s path below the horizontal?b. What is the total distance covered by the squirrel?
On top of a 9.0m cliff, you throw a rock with a velocity of 13.0m/s at an angle 30° below the horizontal. a. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground below? b. How far horizontally from the base of the cliff will the rock reach at when it impacts the ground?
