In the problem below, can you tell me what is asked, and also solve for it. A rescue helicopter wants to drop a package of supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 200 m below. If the helicopter is traveling horizontally with a speed of 70 m/s (250 km/h). a) Suppose, instead, that the helicopter releases the package a horizontal distance of 400 m in advance of the mountain climbers. What vertical velocity should the package be given (up or down) so that it arrives precisely at the climbers' position?

On a dare from a friend, you decide to try to jump a canyon using your bicycle as shown in the figure below. We will define a successful jump as one that allows you to just make it to the edge of the canyon on the far side. Ꮎ Yramp Calculate all the following: A custom ramp has been constructed for you which is yo = 29.6 meters high and is tipped an an angle of 0 = 44.7 degrees. The canyon has a width of Xcanyon 106.8 meters. Xcanyon The initial velocity, vo, of your bike? meters/second The time spent flying through the air second guessing your judgement? seconds
Standing from the top of the building and I want to hit the root of the big tree below. The height of the building is 90m and the tree is 60m away from the foot of the building. If a throw a stone with a speed of 18 m/s, will I hit the target? If yes explain it. If no at what distance will I miss the target?
An air cannon shoots an 8 lb pumpkin with an initial velocity of 68 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. Calculate in any order: How much time does the pumpkin spend in the air (the total time)? How far does it go (the range)? What is its maximum height? Explain, what key assumption(s) do you make, and how would your answers be different if they are not true?
A friend of yours has a one story house with a pool in the backyard. Someone gets the bright idea to jump from the roof of the house into the deep end of the pool. a) If the roof of the house is 16 ft tall and the horizontal distance between the edge of the house and the pool is 10 ft, what would the jumper's minimum velocity need to be to land in the pool? b) Let's assume your friend can jump with an initial horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s. What is their total velocity when they hit the water? (hint: determine both the x and y velocity components, find the resultant)
A prankster flips a coin off of the Empire Building at a height of 1054 feet above the ground. The initial vertical velocity of the coin is 1.20m/s. In real life, air resistance would limit the maximum speed the coin can attain during its fall, but if air resistance were not a factor and assuming it has practically no horizontal motion, answer the following questions. (1 foot = 0.3048m) a. What would the coin's velocity be when it hits the ground? b. How long would it take to hit? c. How high would the coin be halfway through the total falling time, and how fast would it be falling then?
A ball is thrown from a 10 m high cliff at the velocity 20 ms-1with an angle of 30° to the horizontal plane as shown in the picture below. 40 m from the edge of the cliff is a 10 m high wall.a) Will the ball pass over the wall?b) If not, where will it hit the wall and with what velocity?
A student fires a cannonball vertically upwards with a speed of 41.0m/s. Determine all unknowns and answer the following questions. Neglect drag and the initial height and horizontal motion of the cannonball. What was the cannonball's maximum height? How long did the cannonball rise? What was the cannonball's total flight time?
a) At what height above the ground does the projectile have a speed of 0.5v0? Express your answer in terms of v and g. You may or may not use all of these quantities. b) What is the speed of the object at the height of (1/2)hmax? Express your answer in terms of v and g. You may or may not use all of these quantities.
A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. It is fired at an angle 36° with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 41 m/s. Air resistance is negligible in this situation. Call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction. ALREDY SOLVED PORTION: What is the maximum height that the projectile reaches? (30 m) What is the speed of the projectile at its maximum height? (33 m/s) What is the earliest time when the height of the projectile is half of its maximum value? (0.72s) NEEDS SOLVED: 1.The same projectile was then fired in the same way toward a wall that is a horizontal distance 109.1 m from where the projectile was fired.What was the height of the projectile when it hit the wall? 2. What was the velocity of the projectile when it hit the wall? 3.What was the speed of the projectile when it hit the wall?
Hey im stuck on this question You are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make. Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system. Please use grade 12 kinematics and label the variables as v1, v2, a (Acceleration), t (time), d (displacement) Thanks!
For the following exercises, use this scenario: A dart is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 65 mm per second at an angle of elevation of 52°. Consider the horizontal and vertical positions of the dart at any time t. Neglect air resistance. Discuss why this situation can be modeled using parametric equations. Discuss how you determined all possible values for t that represent the situation. What do maximum and minimum values of the parametric equations represent in this context?
