In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 4.0 ∘∘.

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

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
Chapter 06, Problem 85 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.454 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. Water slide H. 5.00 m Number Units 8.404
A skier with a mass of 63.0 kg starts from rest and skis down an icy slope that has a length of 53.0 m at an angle of 32 degrees with respect to the horizontal. At the bottom of the slope, the path levels out and becomes horizontal, the snow becomes less icy, and the skier begins to slow down, coming to rest in a distance of 122m along the horizontal path. What is the speed of the skier at the bottom of the slope? What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the horizontal surface?
A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology and some basic physics. Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop. The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure that the cars remain on track. The biggest loop is 40.0m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 14.4m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top? (b)If the total mass of a car plus the riders is M, what force does the rail exert on the car at the top? (c) Suppose the roller coaster had a circular loop of radius 21.4 m. If the cars have the same speed, 14.4 m.s at the top, what is the centipetal acceleration at the top?

Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plumes of matter over 500 km high. Due to the satellite's small mass, the acceleration due to gravity on Io is only 1.81 m/s2and Io has no appreciable atmosphere. Assume that there is no variation in gravity over the distance traveled. a)What must be the speed of material just as it leaves the volcano to reach an altitude of 380 km? b)If the gravitational potential energy is zero at the surface, what is the potential energy for a 33 kg fragment at its maximum height (500 km) on Io? c)How much would this gravitational potential energy be if it were at the same height (500 km) above earth?
A space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know thelocal units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along aleve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°.After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length. Assume theshuttle is small compared to the local length unit and that all atmospheric effects are negligible. Use x and y components.

In the vertical jump, an Kobe Bryant starts from a crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat Kobe as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. Note: this isn't the entire story since Kobe can twist and curl up in the air, but then we can no longer treat him as a particle. Hint: Find v0 to reach y_max in terms of g and y_max and recall the velocity at y_max is zero. Then find v1 to reach y_max/2 with the same kinematic equation. The time to reach y_max is obtained from v0=g (t), and the time to reach y_max/2 is given by v1-v0= -g(t1). Now, t1 is the time to reach y_max/2, and the quantity t-t1 is the time to go from y_max/2 to y_max. You want the ratio of (t-t1)/t1 Note from Asker: I am generally confused on how to manipulate the formulas, so if you could show every step that would be great, Thank You.

You are working part-time for the GT Sports Media Complex, editing video for the women’s softball team. In one particular clip, a GT player hits a home run over the center field fence. The ball leaves the bat at a height of 4 ft, and crosses the outfield fence (220 ft away) at a height of 10 ft. Logs of the game indicate that the pitch was clocked at 68 mph as it reached the plate. Your frame-by-frame analysis of the 30-frame-per-second video indicate that the ball spent only a single frame in contact with tha bat, and another 126 frames travelling to the outfield fence. A quick internet seach tells you that a typical college softball weighs 0.4 lb. How many pounds of average force act on the ball during ocntact with the bat?
