I asked the question here before but the solution was wrong. that's why I will ask again. Sam and William are playing with a ball. Sam throws the ball 30 s after William started to run away from the starting position. If William is accelerating 1.6 m/s2 starting from rest, find the initial velocity of the ball to hit the moving target and the ground at the same time. The ball is thrown 1.5 m from the ground and 46° from the horizontal. Choices: a. 112 m/s b. 126 m/s c. 163 m/s d. 143 m/s
A jeepney and a train are moving together along parallel paths at 30.0 m/s, with the jeepney adjacent to the rear of the train. The jeepney driver sees the traffic light turn red, so he accelerates at -2.50 m/s2, and then let his jeepney come to rest. The jeepney is at rest for 50.0 s, and then accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 to go back to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Assuming that the speed of the train remained constant at 30.0 m/s, how far is the jeepney from the rear of the train when the jeepney reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s?
A sailor is enjoying a nice day on his sailboat, sailing west with the wind at constant velocity. At one point the sailor spots an anchored buoy some distance to the east of the boat, and turns on his motor to head towards it. The boat kept gliding to the west for some distance before turning around and heading eastward. The boat was traveling initially with velocity v = -6.0i m/s and it took the the boat 2.0 s to turn around. What is the velocity of the boat, 5.0 s after the motor is turned on? The coordinate system is set up such that the +i direction is East. Pick the correct answer O +3.0î m/s O -9.0i m/s O -3.0î m/s o +9.0å m/s o +2.0i m/s
An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight path, which sets the wings in circular motion. If it takes it 21 s to complete the circle and the wingspan of the plane is 10.6 m, what is the acceleration of the wing tip? Express your answer in m/s².
