- You need to get into your fourth-floor apartment, but you have forgotten your key to the main ground floor door of the building. You call up to your lazy roommate to come down and let you in, but he says he will throw the keys down to you instead. The window that he throws the keys out of is 13 meters above the ground, and he chucks them with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal. The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s?. How far back from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys?arrow_forwardJulie is an avid skydiver. She has more than 300 jumps under her belt and has mastered the art of making adjustments to her body position in the air to control how fast she falls. If she arches her back and points her belly toward the ground, she reaches a terminal velocity of approximately 120 mph (176 ft/sec). If, instead, she orients her body with her head straight down, she falls faster, reaching a terminal velocity of 150 mph (220 ft/sec). Since Julie will be moving (falling) in a downward direction, we assume the downward direction is positive to simplify our calculations. Julie executes her jumps from an altitude of 12,500 ft. After she exits the aircraft, she immediately starts falling at a velocity given by v(t) = 32t. She continues to accelerate according to this velocity function until she reaches terminal velocity. After she reaches terminal velocity, her speed remains constant until she pulls her ripcord and slows down to land. On her first jump of the day, Julie orients…arrow_forwardIn a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set.
