24.A motorized float in a Thanksgiving Day parade is traveling north at a speed of 16.0 km/h.

Part of a Pilgrim womans role in the thematic vignette is to walk across the float to call the men to dinner. She walks at a speed of 3.22 km/h east as the float passes the judges booth, which is on the west side of the street. What is the womans velocity with respect to the judge?
( 16.3 km/h at 011.4T)

25. A car going 110. km/h southwest reaches a curve in the road. Assume that the curve is an arc of a circle. After rounding the curve, the cars velocity is 110. km/h west. The car takes 2.50 s to round the curve. a. What is the cars acceleration?
Solve for the components of the velocity difference vector: Find the components Solve for the magnitude of the velocity difference: Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration: Solve for acceleration direction: 9.35 m/s2 at 292.5T

b. What is the length of the cars path on the curve?


76.4 m

c. If the car instead maintained a steady speed of 100. km/h, how long would it take to round the curve?
2.749 s

26. An aviation crew is flying an airplane to deliver supplies to a remote village. They intend to drop-deliver a cargo container attached to a parachute. The aircraft is flying at 165 km/h due east as the air crew drops the 100. kg crate. The parachute fails to open and the crate reaches the ground 4.5 s after it was released. a. What is the crates vertical speed just before it hits the ground?
v 44.1 m/s ( 44 m/s)

2.75 s)

b. How high was the plane when the container was released?
h = y0 99.3 m ( 99 m)

c. The plane was 0.5 km west of a lake when it released the crate. Did the crate land in the lake?
0.21 km

27. An astronaut on the Moon (gM = 1.63 m/s2) kicks a stone horizontally off a 45.0 m cliff with a speed of 2.50 m/s. a. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone land?
18.57 m 18.6 m

b. How far from the base of the cliff would the stone have landed on Earth (gE = 9.81 m/s2, assuming no air resistance)?
R 7.57 m

28. A skydiver drops from an airplane that is 2000. m above the ground. An automatic timer opens his parachute exactly 10.0 s after he leaves the plane. a. How far from the ground is he when his parachute is fully open, if it takes 1.0 s to open? (Assume no change in velocity until the chute is fully open.)
h1 1406.5 m ( 1407 m)

b. In the next 10.0 s, the skydivers speed decreases uniformly to 10.0 m/s. How far does he fall during this time? (Hint: d = v t )
d2 589.5 m ( 590. m)

c. After slowing, the skydivers speed is constant until he lands on the ground. How long does the entire jump take?
ttotal = 102.7 s

29. A rifles muzzle velocity is 400. m/s. The marksmans shoulder is 1.70 m high and the rifle is 1.50 m long. a. What is the rifles maximum possible range, neglecting air resistance?
We know that the maximum range of a rifle bullet is attained at a 45 angle. We

also know R = v0 xt, so we must first find t, which is the total time of flight. Use the second equation of motion. Since the final height y = 0, we can rearrange this into the quadratic equation: The vertical coordinate system originates at ground level. The initial y position is at the height of the rifle muzzle, which is the sum of the marksmans shoulder height plus the y-component of the rifles length raised at an angle of 45. Solving now for t and range: R 16310 m ( 16300 m)

b. Suppose the marksman fires at the broad side of a barn (height of the roof = 15.0 m) holding the rifle at a 20.0 angle above the horizontal. The ridge of the barns roof is 100. m away from the end of the muzzle. Does the bullet strike the barn, or does it go over the barn?
h100 m 38 m

c. What is the maximum initial vertical velocity component the bullet can have if it is to just graze the peak of the barns roof at the midpoint of its trajectory?
Notice that the range to the barn is not specified, but the range is at the midpoint of the trajectory where vy = 0. Use the third equation of motion: Note that vertical displacement is from rifle to roof. 16.2 m/s (This calculation ignores the length of the rifle.)

d. At what angle would the marksman have to fire in order to have the initial vertical velocity component found in part c?
2.31 ( 2.3

30. A professional baseball player throws a ball as hard as he can at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. At the same instant, his 10-year-old son throws an identical ball directly upward at exactly half the speed of his fathers pitch. The boy is standing on a mound so that both balls are released at the same height. Which ball hits the ground first?
You could solve this by computing the time of flight of both balls. However, since you know their initial heights were the same and they were thrown at the same instant, all you have to do is compare their initial vertical velocity components. The ball with the smaller will hit the ground first.

31. Two archers are trying to see who can obtain a greater range. The first archer shoots his arrow at a velocity of 65.0 m/s, 10.0 from the horizontal. The arrow is released 1.40 m above the ground. The other archer shoots his arrow from the same height at a velocity of 48.0 m/s, 45.0 from the horizontal. Who will win the contest?
The second archer will win (236 m versus 155 m).

32. A diver leaves the diving board, 10.0 m above the water, at a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 60.0 above the horizontal. If he takes 0.75 s to complete a somersault, how many full somersaults can the diver complete before hitting the water?
= 3.782 sumersaults The diver can complete 3 full somersaults.
