A projectile of mass [m] is launched with initial velocity [v0] at angle [theta] from the +x direction. From the origin, the projectile is connected toa massless spring with force constant k, as shown. From the equations of motion, one can show that the horizontal and vertical positions of the mass as functions of time can be written asx(t) = A cos wt + B sin wty(t) = C cos wt + D sin wt + Eprovided that the coefficients satisfy the conditions that initially, x(0) = y(0) = 0,vx (t = 0) = v0 cos [theta], and vy (t = 0) = v0 sin [theta]. Determine the coefficients A,B,C,D, and E in termsof the given variables.
You are holding a basketball and standing at rest on top of a skateboard. If you throw the basketball (of mass 0.625 kg) at a velocity of 7 m/s along the horizontal and you and the skateboard together have a mass of 85 kg, what is the magnitude of your velocity just after throwing the ball? Assume you can ignore air resistance, rolling resistance, and friction.
To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.
