- A Lockheed Martin F-35 II Lighting jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 90 m and a takeoff speed 70 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 5.0m/s² at 30°with respect to the horizontal. What is the initial acceleration of the F- 35 on the deck of the aircraft carrier to make it airborne? 30.0 m/s^2 35.0 m/s^2 O 20.0 m/s^2 O 27.2 m/s^2arrow_forwardA rock is thrown off a vertical cliff at an angle of 65 degrees above horizontal. The cliff is 67.2 m high and the ground extends horizontally from the base. The initial speed of the rock is 24.4 m/s. Neglect air resistance. a) How high above the ground, in meters, is the rock 2.03 s before it hits the ground? b) How far horizontally from the cliff, in meters, is the rock 2.03 s before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardA lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.arrow_forward
- A particle leaves the origin with initial velocity v0= 12i + 14j m/s, undergoing constant acceleration a = -0.80i + 0.25j m/s2. If the particle crosses the y-axis at t = 30s and its y-coordinate at the time is 532.5m. How fast is it moving and in what direction is it moving?arrow_forwardA stone is thown from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of V0 = 15 m/s . The stone takes 3 seconds to each the bottom. What is the height of the cliff. (air resistance is negligible).arrow_forwardAs the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0 m above the cliff. The apparatus then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a distance 10 m below its initial position. Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the exoplanet is a = -5.6j m/s?, how long did it take for the apparatus to get from the top of its trajectory to the bottom of the cliff? The coordinate system is set up such that "up" is in the +j direction. Pick the correct answer 1.9 s O 1.5 s 1.3 s O 2.2 s O 1.0 sarrow_forward

What will be the particle's speed when it returns to the origin?arrow_forwardIn an amusement park water slide, people slide down an essentially frictionless tube. The top of the slide is 3.2 m above the bottom where they exit the slide, moving horizontally, 1.2 m above a swimming pool. What horizontal distance do they travel from the exit point before hitting the water?arrow_forwardA spacecraft has an initial speed of 3308 m/s at an angle of 42 degrees above the positive x axis. Two engines fire for 9.15 seconds, and produce an acceleration of 8.3 m/s/s at an angle of 39.5 degrees above the positive x axis. What is the velocity of the spacecraft when the engines shut off? What is the angle from the positive x axis?arrow_forward
- Spring Gun: A spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 21.52 m/s. It is placed at the edge of a table and launches a projectile horizontally. The table is 1.6m high, and the projectile travels a distance of 18.10 m before it hits the ground.The lab is on an asteroid.What is the acceleration due to gravity on this asteroid?arrow_forwardA diver runs off a platform with an initial horizontal velocity of 1.16 m/s in the positive x-direction. The platform is at a vertical height of 8.90 m above the water. How much time is the diver in the air before he strikes the water? O 1.77 s O 1.83 s O 3.21 s O 2.49 s O 1.35 s O 2.99 sarrow_forwardA spacecraft has an initial speed of 3037 m/s at an angle of 27 degrees above the positive x axis. Two engines fire for 5.4 seconds, and produce an acceleration of 9.9 m/s/s at an angle of 18.5 degrees above the positive x axis. What is the final speed of the spacecraft?
