- 7. A force F1 of magnitude 6.00 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction 0 = 30.0° above the positive a axis (Fig. P3.7). A second force F, of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force Figure P3.7 F,arrow_forwardA Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?arrow_forwardA Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.89 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.55 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth? Need Help?

- Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.90 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 14.0° with speed 2.80 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?arrow_forwardIrina, standing on the edge of a cliff, throws a stone at a 40-degree angle above the horizontal with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 54 m/s. If Irina were to throw the other rock at a 40-degree angle below the horizontal from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground? Ignore any effects of air resistance.arrow_forwardA 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)arrow_forward
- An airplane flying horizontally with a speed of 500 km/h at a height of 700 m fires a crate of supplies forward at a speed of 100 m/s (see the figure). Help on how to format answers: dalits (a) If the parachute fails to open, how far (horizontally) in front of the release point does the crate hit the ground? (b) What is the magnitude of the crate's velocity when it hits the ground?arrow_forwardAlaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to stranded hikers. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s at a height of 100 m above the ground. Neglect air resistance. (a) Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground? (c) What is the angle of the impact?arrow_forwardRex Marksley is determined to prove himself the greatest marksman in the West with one stunt. In a duel with his most recent enemy, he fires a shot directly into the barrel of his opponent's pistol. The bullet lodges itself into the pistol, and the opponent reflexively lets go of the pistol in that instant. The bullet had entered the barrel with a speed 310 m/s traveling horizontally and the pistol was held at a height of 1.5 m. If the bullet had a mass 30.0 g and the pistol a mass 1.00 kg , what horizontal distance did the pistol travel before hitting the ground?

- A coin slides off the edge of a horizontal table with an initial velocity of 4 m/s horizontally and experiences no significant air resistance. The height of the table above the ground is 1.8 m. What is the magnitude of the vertical component of the velocity of the puck just before it hits the ground? 8.65 m/s 24 m/s 5.94 m/s 12.62 m/s O O O Oarrow_forwardConsider two spherical raindrops. The first raindrop is small with radius R1, and the second is big with radius R, = 1.5 R1. As each raindrop falls through the atmosphere, it eventually reaches its terminal velocity. Suppose the terminal velocity of the first raindrop is vr1 = 8 m/s. Calculate the terminal velocity of the second raindrop.arrow_forwardTo celebrate her good performance on a physics test, Alice decides to break out a bottle of champagne. In order to avoid property damage, she takes the bottle outside to uncork it. The cork pops off the champagne bottle with a velocity of 12.0 m/s at an angle of 15° relative to the vertical. When the cork is released, Alice is holding the bottle such that the cork is 1.80 m above the ground. How far does Alice have to walk to retrieve the cork?arrow_forward
