Multiple ChoiceJim pushes a penny off a 0.86m tall table. Assume the penny is moving horizontally as it leaves the table at 5 m/s. How long is the penny in the air? Ignore air resistance.474views
Multiple ChoiceBob throws a ball from his second story window to his friend Steve who is on the ground below. Assume that Bob throws the ball horizontally at 10m/s, and Steve will catch the ball at a point 4.5m below Bob. How far from the base of the building should Steve stand in order to catch the ball?454views1rank
Textbook QuestionA daring 510-N swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap, as shown in Fig. E3.10. What must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, which is 1.75 m wide and 9.00 m below the top of the cliff? 4719views
Textbook QuestionCrickets Chirpy and Milada jump from the top of a vertical cliff. Chirpy drops downward and reaches the ground in 2.70 s, while Milada jumps horizontally with an initial speed of 95.0 cm/s. How far from the base of the cliff will Milada hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.2072views
Textbook QuestionA physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.480 s. Ignore air resistance. Find (a) the height of the tabletop above the floor;3214views7rank
Textbook QuestionA rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 50 m away. The bullet hits the target 2.0 cm below the aim point. (b) What was the bullet's speed as it left the barrel?506views
Textbook QuestionYou are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. You find the arrow stuck in the ground 60 m away, making a 30° angle with the ground. How fast was the arrow shot?708views
Textbook QuestionOn the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal. (b) For how much more time was the ball in flight?562views

Textbook Question(II) A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3–46). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the car roofs and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. <IMAGE>298views
Textbook Question(II) At serve, a tennis player aims to hit the ball horizontally. What minimum speed is required for the ball to clear the 0.90-m-high net about 15.0 m from the server if the ball is 'launched' from a height of 2.30 m? Where will the ball land if it just clears the net (and will it be 'good' in the sense that it lands within 7.0 m of the net)? How long will it be in the air? See Fig. 3–50.<IMAGE>313views
