In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
What is the y component of the vector (3i8k) m/s? (a) 3 m/s (b) 8 m/s (c) 0 (d) 8 m/s (e) none of those answers
A basketball leaves a player's hands at a height of 2.15 m above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The player likes to shoot the ball at a 35.0 ∘ angle. If the shot is made from a horizontal distance of 11.00 m and must be accurate to ±0.27 m (horizontally), what is the range of initial speeds allowed to make the basket? Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma. vmin,vmax? .......... m/s
A drone is launched with a velocity of 33 m/s, 337°. Three minutes after the drone is launched it suddenly changed its course to 47 m/s, 284° to avoid high trees on its way. Then, it finally goes back at a rate of 43 m/s, 149°. Calculate for the total resultant vector of the drone.
A B-52 bomber jet flies at a horizontal velocity of 286.2 m/s and at an altitude of 7500 m above the ground. a) Sketch the scenario. b). How far away horizontally should a payload be dropped to land on a target?
In Canadian football, after a touchdown the team has the opportunity to earn one more point by kicking the ball over the bar between the goal posts. The bar is 10.0 ftft above the ground, and the ball is kicked from ground level, 36.0 ftft horizontally from the bar in (Figure 1). Football regulations are stated in English units, but convert to SI units for this problem. If the ball is kicked at 39.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal, what must its initial speed be if it is just to clear the bar? Express your answer in m/sm/s
Trachecktory. Two cannonballs, aptly named a and B, were launched on level ground. a was launched with a velocity of 18.0 [m/s] at 36° with respect to the ground while B was launched with a velocity of 17.6 [m/s] at 48° with respect to the ground. What can you say about a and B's range and time of flight? O a and B have the same range; a has a larger time of flight. O a and B have the same range; B has a larger time of flight. O a and B do not have the same range; B has a larger time of flight. O a and B do not have the same range; a has a larger time of flight.
Kara is setting up a tee-shirt cannon for a community event. The angle of the cannon can be adjusted, but all projectiles leave the cannon at 25 meters per second. If Kara sets the angle of 20 degrees above the cannon to be above horizontal, what will be the range of the projectiles?
A bullet was fired at a velocity of 2458m/s and must be angled to reach the target located at the rated maximum horizontal range of the sniper rifle used. What should be the angle? O 60° O 30° 45° O 15°
Candice throws a tennis ball up a hill at an angle of 55o (55 degrees) above the horizontal at 20 m/s up a hill that makes an angle of 35o (35 degrees) with the horizontal. How far up the hill will the tennis ball travel before hitting the ground?
Daily Commissions. Ganyu used her charged attack to shoot an arrow hitting a hilichurl tower a certain distance away from her. Assuming there is no air resistance and the arrow hits the tower at the same height as the launch point, if the tower is 50.0 [m] away from Ganyu and the arrow has an initial velocity of 24.0 [m/s], at what angle did Ganyu launch the arrow? O 0.509° O 1.02° O 29.2° O 58.4°
From the roof of the Science Building, 21.0m above the ground, you throw a 37.8 gram water balloon at 19.92 m/s exactly horizontally at St. Josephs Auditorium building, which is exactly 36.0 meters south of the Science Building. How far up the wall of St. Joseph's, from ground level, did the water balloon hit? (Report your answer in meters, but only enter the numerical value.)
