A person riding in a subway train drops a ball from rest straightdownward, relative to the interior of the train. The train is moving horizontally with a constant speed of 6.7 m>s. A second person standing at rest on the subway platform observes the balldrop. From the point of view of the person on the platform, theball is released at the position x = 0 and y = 1.2 m. Make a plotof the position of the ball for the times t = 0, 0.1 s, 0.2 s, 0.3s, and 0.4 s.

A hiker walks from (x1, y1) = (4.00 km. 3.00 km) to (x2, y2) = (3.00 km, 6.00 km), (a) What distance has the traveled? (b) The hiker desires to return to his starting point. In what direction should he go? (Give the angle with respect to due cast.) (See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.)
A projectile is launched vertically upward from the ground at the initial 3. speed vo. A second projectile located a distance L away is fired at an adjustable angle 0 at the speed 2vo toward the first projectile. If the two projectiles are fired at the same time and collide, at what angle 0 must the second projectile be fired?
The position of a particle in space at time tis: r(t) = (sec(t)) * i + (tan t) * j + 4/3 tk. Write the particle's velocity at time t = (pi / 6) as the product of its speed and direction.
Because of your physics background, you have been hired as a consultant for a newmovie about Galileo. In one scene, he climbs up to the top of a tower and, in frustration over the people who ridicule his theories, throws a rock at a group of them standing on the ground. The rock leaves his hand at 30 degrees from the horizontal. The script calls forthe rock to land 15 m from the base of the tower near a group of his detractors. It isimportant for the script that the rock takes precisely 3.0 seconds to hit the ground sothat there is time for a good expressive close-up. The set coordinator is concerned thatthe rock will hit the ground with too much speed, causing cement chips from the plazato injure on of the high priced actors. You are told to calculate that speed.
Tred, an alien on a planet where |g| = 1.7 m/s2, strikes a golf ball giving the ball a velocity of 36 m/s [40o above theplanet’s horizontal]. The ball lands in a crater floor that is 15m below the level where it was struck. Determine: a) the maximum height of the ball b) ***the time of flight of the ball*** c) the horizontal range of the ball
0, y 0) 44. A projectile is launched from the point (x QC with velocity (12.0î + 49.0 j) m/s, at t = 0. (a) Make a table listing the projectile's distance |r| from the ori- gin at the end of each second thereafter, for 0 s I S 10 s. Tabulating the x and y coordinates and the compo- nents of velocity v and v will also be useful. (b) Notice that the projectile's distance from its starting point increases with time, goes through a maximum, and starts to decrease. Prove that the distance is a maximum when the position vector is perpendicular to the veloc- ity. Suggestion: Argue that if v is not perpendicular to f, then r|must be increasing or decreasing. (c) Determine the magnitude of the maximum displacement. (d) Explain
A particle moves through 3-space in such a way that its acceleration is a(t)= 8sin 2ri +8cos 2tj+e'k . where t is time measured in seconds. The initial velocity of the particle is v, = 2i – 3j+k. At time t = t , find i) the velocity vector of the particle. ii) the scalar tangential and normal components of acceleration.

In a basketball game, two teammates are going to pass a ball to each otherstarting together from center half court. Assuming that we are looking at abasketball court in bird’s eye view, player A is moving “north” towards one endof the court going 9 m/s. Player B, who is now moving 76◦away to the rightpasses the ball to player A with the ball going 14 m/s. What are the magnitudeand direction of the ball’s velocity going towards player A?

The range of the projectile motion R in meters is given by the formula vo2 sin 20 where vo m/s is the initial velocity, g m/s² is the R = acceleration due to gravity and 0 is the radian measure of the angle makes with the horizontal at which the projectile is launched. What is the value of 0 that makes the range maximum? 3 4 6. the height of the right circular cylinder of greatest volume that can be inscribed inside the right circular cone with radius 4 in and height 12 in.
