11. In FIGURE Q4.11, Yvette and Zack are driving down the freeway side by side with their windows down. Zack wants to toss his physics book out the window and have it land in Yvette's front seat. Ignoring air resistance, should he direct his throw outward and toward the front of the car (throw 1), straight outward (throw 2), or outward and toward the back of the car (throw 3 )? Explain.

. II A wheel initially rotating at experiences the angular acceleration shown in FIGURE EX4.39. What is the wheel's angular velocity, in rpm, at ?
FIGURE EX4.39

A circular track has several concentric rings where people can run at their leisure. Phil runs on the outermost track with radius rP while Annie runs on an inner track with radius rA = 0.80rP. The runners start side by side, along a radial line, and run at the same speed in a counterclockwise direction. How many revolutions has Annie made when Annie’s and Phil’s velocity vectors point in opposite directions for the first time?
You are given the equations that are used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are to
a. Write a realistic problem for which these are the correct equations. Be sure that the answer your problem requests is consistent with the equations given.
b. Finish the solution of the problem, including a pictorial representation.
A skateboarder starts up a 1.0-m-high, 30° ramp at a speed of 7.0 m/s. The skateboard wheels roll without friction. At the top she leaves the ramp and sails through the air. How far from the end of the ramp does the skateboarder touch down?
