In one contest at the county fair, seen in FIGURE CP4.81, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.0m/sfrom one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.50maway. At what angle should you tilt the ball launcher?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ball launcher should be tilted at an angle of33.3

Step by step solution

01

:  Given Information 

Given :

Speed of the ball : 3.0m/s

Flat board is tilted up at an angle : 20

Target is at distance :2.50m

02

:  Calculating required angle

Create a coordinate system by placing +yvertically up the inclined plane and +xhorizontally. Now apply the kinematic equations of projectile motion, taking advantage of the fact that the xposition coordinate at the end of motion is +2.5m. Gravitational acceleration is a component acting perpendicular to the plane.

Answer Problems 3 through 5 by choosing one of the eight labeled acceleration vectors or selecting option I:a=0

5. At this instant, the particle is speeding up and curving downward. What is the direction of its acceleration?

Problems 1 and 2 show a partial motion diagram. For each:

a. Complete the motion diagram by adding acceleration vectors.

b. Write a physics problem for which this is the correct motion diagram. Be imaginative! Don't forget to include enough information to make the problem completely and to state clearly what is to be found.

A rubber ball is dropped onto a ramp that is tilted at 20掳, as shown in FIGURE P4.59. A bouncing ball obeys the 鈥渓aw of reflection,鈥 which says that the ball leaves the surface at the same angle it approached the surface. The ball鈥檚 next bounce is 3.0 m to the right of its first bounce. What is the ball鈥檚 rebound speed on its first bounce?

13. A supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 100 m above the glacier at a speed of 150 m/s. How far short of the target should it drop the package?

A javelin thrower standing at rest holds the center of the javelin behind her head, then accelerates it through a distance of 70 cm as she throws. She releases the javelin 2.0 m above the ground traveling at an angle of 30掳 above the horizontal. Top-rated javelin throwers do throw at about a 30掳 angle, not the 45掳 you might have expected, because the biomechanics of the arm allow them to throw the javelin much faster at 30掳 than they would be able to at 45掳. In this throw, the javelin hits the ground 62 m away. What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration.
