In Fig. 4-40, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude, at an angle of to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length and heightrole="math" localid="1654153249604" . A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. (a)Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle of its displacement from the launch point?

Figure 4-28 shows four tracks (either half- or quarter-circles) that can be taken by a train, which moves at a constant speed. Rank the tracks according to the magnitude of a train’s acceleration on the curved portion, greatest first.

An iceboat sails across the surface of a frozen lake with constant acceleration produced by the wind. At a certain instant the boat’s velocity is. Three seconds later, because of a wind shift, the boat is instantaneously at rest. What is its average acceleration for this interval?
After flying for in a wind blowing at an angle of south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is due north of the starting point. What is the speed of the airplane relative to the air?
In 1939 or 1940, Emanuel Zacchini took his human cannonball act to an extreme: After being shot from a cannon, he soared over three Ferris wheels and into a net (Fig.4-39). Assume that he is launched with a speed of 26.5 m/sand at an angle of . (a)Treating him as a particle, calculate his clearance over the first wheel. (b) If he reached maximum height over the middle wheel, by how much did he clear it? (c) How far from the cannon should the net’s center have been positioned (neglect air drag)?
