From the edge of the rooftop of a building, a boy throws a stone at an angle \(25.0^{\circ}\) above the horizontal. The stone hits the ground 4.20 s later, 105 m away from the base of the building. (Ignore air resistance.) (a) For the stone's path through the air, sketch graphs of \(x, y, v_{x}\) and \(v_{y}\) as functions of time. These need to be only qualitatively correct- you need not put numbers on the axes. (b) Find the initial velocity of the stone. (c) Find the initial height \(h\) from which the stone was thrown. (d) Find the maximum height \(H\) reached by the stone.
In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of \(15.0 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}\). An automatic cutting tool descends at preset intervals to cut the glass to size. since the assembly belt must keep moving at constant speed, the cutter is set to cut at an angle to compensate for the motion of the glass. If the glass is \(72.0 \mathrm{cm}\) wide and the cutter moves across the width at a speed of \(24.0 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s},\) at what angle should the cutter be set?
