A 1500 g model rocket is resting horizontally at the top edge of a 40m-high wall when it is accidentally bumped. The bump pushes it off the edge with a horizontal speed of 0.5 m/s and at the same time causes the engine to ignite. When the engine fires, it exerts a constant 20 N horizontal thrust away from the wall. How far from the base of the wall does the rocket land?

A 600 gg model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 2.5 m/sm/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exerts a 8.0 NN vertical thrust on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket pass through a small horizontal hoop that is 20 mm above the launch point. At what horizontal distance left of the hoop should you launch?
The average thrust created by the first stage engine of a model rocket is 50N. The rocket has an average weight of 10N with a burn time of 2 seconds. The rocket is initially fired vertically upward. When the rocket reaches maximum height, a second engine is fired creating a horizontal velocity (only) of 50m/s. Where does the rocket land relative to its launch point? Assume it was launched on a horizontal plain.

The heaviest watermelon weighed in at 159 kg (350.5 lbs.) and was grown by Chris Kent (USA) of Sevierville, Tennessee. Chris releases the watermelon from rest from the top of a 150.0m tall building by a small crane. We neglect air resistance. If needed, use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of g. What is the time it takes to hit the ground after being released and what will be the final impact velocity when it hits the ground? Report answers to 3 sig figs.
A 730 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius 5.0 m. She is unable to get to the other side due to a lack of friction between her shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, she throws her 2.6 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 5.0 m/s. How long does it take her to reach the south shore?
A 520 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 2.0 m/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exerts an 8.0 N vertical thrust on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket pass through a small horizontal hoop that is 20 m above the launch point. At what horizontal distance left of the loop should you launch?
You have a cylinder. You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°. The mass of the cylinder is 450 g and its diameter is 2.1 cm.If the velocity of the cylinder is 1.75 m/s at the bottom of the ramp, what is the value of k for this unusual cylinder (in Sl units)? Express your answer as a decimal (i.e. 1/4=0.25).
1 kg projectile is launched at 30 m/sec, 60 degrees from horizontal. Find speed after 2 sec.
An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target. If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall? Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s: V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)
41. An arrow (m = 5.0 g) is fired at a styrofoam block (m = 150 g) sitting on the edge of a frictionlesstable. The tabletop is 1.1 m above ground. The arrow enters the block horizontally at va1 = 35 m/sand passes through to the other side, exiting horizontally at va2 = 15 m/s. a) Determine the speed of the styrofoam after the arrow exits the block. b) Determine where the Styrofoam will land with respect to the arrow. Assume the arrow passedright through the centre of mass of the block, and both objects drop the same vertical distance tothe ground.
v 16 cm/s A simple pendulum, consisting of a lightweight 25-cm rod and a small 500-g weight, pivots from point P and swings back and forth.

You are part of a search-and-rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You have found the missing explorer, but you are separated from him by a 200-m-high cliff and a 30-m-wide raging river, as shown in the figure. To save his life, you need to get a 5.0 kg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you cannot throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 1.0 kg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies. Once the stick is attached, you fire the rocket at the horizontal ground level toward the supplies. If the rocket and the stick remain inside the package, what minimum speed must the rocket have just before the impalement in order to save the explorer's life? Assume that the mass of the stick and the air resistance are negligible, and ignore the gravitational effect only…
