In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A diver jumps off a cliff of h at an angle of 0 =38° (see figure below). He reaches a maximum height of hmaz x = 42m from the base of the cliff. Determine the speed of the diver just before he hits the water, = 3m above the top of the cliff before falling to the water below. He hits the water VA =?.Express your answer in units of m/s. Take g 9.80m/s2. Round your answer to zero decimal places. Jrmax Answer:
Bart Jumps Springfield Gorge on his skateboard. Springfield Gorge us 50m wide, and Bart has constructed a 1.0 m Hugh ramp inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Air resistance is neglected. Homer had calculated that he can jump the gorge if the ramp is inclined to 45°, and he attains a speed of 20m/s. Will Homer make it? If not, how far short of the other side is he when he drops below the level of the ground?

A boy wants to throw a water balloon from a roof deck and hit the far side of the street below. He throws the ball at 6 m/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal. If vboy = 0, what is the maximum height, h, reached by the balloon above the street? h = 6.28 m B. h = 5.3 m h = 4.92 m D. h = 5.28 m This time, suppose the boy gets a running start, vboy = 5 m/s toward the street.

How would increasing the mass of the dog impact your calculations above? It would result in the height of the slide being greater It would result in the height of the slide being less Equal Less than It would result in the dog's horizontal distance being greater It would result in the dog's horizontal distance being less It wouldn't impact any of the calculations 4.

Hello, there are several variables I have had to find for this problem but I am stuck on figuring out the last two. Please help! Thank you. A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 60∘ with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 128 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 32 m/s. Known:v0= 32 m/s v0x= 16 m/s v0y= 27.6 m/s Δy= 39.12 m t(ground)= 8.76 s Δx(total)= 138.72 m Unknown: How far has it moved horizontally when it is at maximum altitude? Δx= ? What are the horizontal and vertical positions of the rock relative to the edge of the cliff at t = 4.4 s. Assume that the origin (0,0) for this part is loacted at the edge of the cliff. Enter the positions with their correct signs. Position: (x= ? , y= ?)m
