Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 92TE
A pair of toy cart wheels roll obliquely from a smooth surface onto two plots of Grass grass—a rectangular plot and a triangular plot—as shown. The ground is on a slight incline, so that after slowing down in the grass the wheels speed up upon emerging onto the smooth surface. Make a sketch and show likely paths and direction of travel in and out of the plots.

On camera it will look like they will crash, but they will safely miss each other. At the moment they meet, an explosion will be set off so that it appears as if they burst into a ball of fire putting the survival of our Adventuresome Hero is doubt. The stunt coordinator needs to know precisely when and where the boats will pass so that everything appears on screen as written in the script. Our Adventuresome Hero is in a boat moving at 12.8 m/s, his Worthy Adversary races towards him in a boat traveling at 17.1 m/s. Initially, the boats are separated by 180 m of open water. Lights! Camera! Action! They race towards each other... The two boats will pass each other after seconds have elapsed. Our Adventuresome Hero will travel meters before they meet. His Worthy Adversary will travel meters before they meet.arrow_forwardIn aviation, it is helpful for pilots to know the cloud ceiling, which is the distance between the ground and lowest cloud. The simplest way to measure this is by using a spotlight to shine a beam of light up at the clouds and measuring the angle between the ground and where the beam hits the clouds. If the spotlight on the ground is 0.75 kmkm from the hangar door as shown in the image below, what is the cloud ceiling?arrow_forward
