You are on the street trying to hit a friend in his dorm window with a water balloon. He has a similar idea and is aiming at you with his water balloon. You aim straight at each other and throw at the same instant. Do the water balloons hit each other? Explain why or why not.
A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3鈥41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that 鈥渢akeoff angle鈥 is 7.0掳 above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?
