- In the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, after being told that Darth Vader is his father, Luke Skywalker falls from a ledge in Cloud City (not on the Earth, so the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is not necessarily 9.81 m/s2). Suppose he falls a distance of 28.5 m in 2.5 s. Assuming he starts from rest, answer the following questions. a. What is Lukes velocity 2.5 s after he starts to fall? b. What is the constant acceleration due to gravity, experienced by Luke, on Cloud City?

How far did the projectiles move horizontally before they hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA baseball diamond consists of four plates arranged in a square.

- If a particles speed is always increasing, what are the possible angles between the particles velocity and acceleration?arrow_forwardFebruary 3, 2009, was a very snowy day along Interstate 69 just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. As a result of the slippery conditions and low visibility (50 yards or less), there was an enormous accident involving approximately 30 vehicles, including cars, tractor-trailers, and even a fire truck. Many witnesses said that people were driving too fast for the conditions and were too close together. In this problem, we explore two rules of thumb for driving in such conditions. The first is to drive at a speed that is half of what it would be in ideal conditions. The other is the 8-second rule: Watch the vehicle in front of you as it passes some object such as a street sign, and you should pass that same object 8 seconds later. On a dry road, the 8-second rule is replaced by a 3-second rule. a. Assume vehicles on a slippery interstate highway follow both rules. What is the distance between the vehicles? b. If a driver followed the first rule of thumb, driving at a lower speed, but used the 3-second rule instead of the 8-second rule, what is the distance between the vehicles? How does that distance compare with the visibility on the day of the accident? c. Suppose drivers do not follow either rule of thumb for slippery conditions. What is the distance between vehicles? How does that distance compare with the visibility on that day? d. Suppose a driver was not obeying either rule of thumb when she sees a tractor-trailer that stopped on the highway. She presses on her brakes, locking the wheels, and her car crashes into the truck. Estimate the magnitude of the impulse exerted on her car. e. Estimate the impulse on the car in part (d) had the driver followed both rules of thumb for slippery conditions instead of ignoring them.arrow_forwardA falcon is soaring over a prairie, flying at a height of 45.0 m with a speed of 12.9 m/s. The falcon spots a mouse running along the ground and dives to catch its dinner. Ignoring air resistance, and assuming the falcon is only subject to the gravitational force as it dives, how fast will the falcon be moving the instant it is 5.00 m above the ground?arrow_forward

(a) If the person were to performan identical coin flip on an elevator rising with constant speed,would the coin’s time of flight be greater than, less than, or equalto its time of flight when the person was at rest? (b) Choose thebest explanation from among the following:I. The floor of the elevator is moving upward, and hence itcatches up with the coin in mid flight.II. The coin has the same upward speed as the elevator when itis tossed, and the elevator’s speed doesn’t change during thecoin’s flight.III. The coin starts off with a greater upward speed because of theelevator, and hence it reaches a greater height.arrow_forwardr The speed of a boat in still water is V. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 14 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the V and V₁. Hint: Velocity = displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "V" and "v": Do V" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative.
