Multiple ChoiceA small plane flies horizontally at 20m/s at an altitude of 200m, when it launches a projectile at a speed of 65 m/s at 22.6° below the horizontal. What horizontal distance does the projectile travel before hitting the ground?590views7rank3comments
Multiple ChoiceSam is driving down the road at 30m/s. Toni, who is in front of Sam, is driving 25m/s in the same direction. Toni, watching in her rear-view mirror, sees Sam reach out the window and throw a ball towards her. If Sam sees the ball moving away from him at 10m/s, does Toni see the ball moving towards her, or away from her? How fast is the ball moving according to Toni?234views
Textbook QuestionA 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 20.0 m/s. A 1.0-kg stone is thrown from the basket with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s perpendicular to the path of the descending balloon, as measured relative to a person at rest in the basket. That person sees the stone hit the ground 5.00 s after it was thrown. Assume that the balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant speed of 20.0 m/s. (c) At the instant the rock hits the ground, how far is it from the basket?814views

Textbook QuestionA cannon on a flat railroad car travels to the east with its barrel tilted 30° above horizontal. It fires a cannonball at 50 m/s. At t = 0 s , the car, starting from rest, begins to accelerate to the east at 2.0 m/s². At what time should the cannon be fired to hit a target on the tracks that is 400 m to the east of the car's initial position? Assume that the cannonball is fired from ground level.335views
Textbook QuestionA supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 100 m above the glacier at a speed of 150 m/s. How far short of the target should it drop the package?386views
Textbook Question(II) A rescue plane wants to drop supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 265 m below. If the plane is traveling horizontally with a speed of 125 km/h, how far in advance of the recipients (horizontal distance) must the goods be dropped?199views
