I Review
As you hurry to catch your flight at the local airport,
you encounter a moving walkway that is 71 m long
and has a speed of 2.3 m/s relative to the ground.
Part A
If it takes you 59 s to cover 71 m when walking on the ground, how long will it take you to cover the same distance on the walkway?
Assume that you walk with the same speed on the walkway as you do on the ground.
Express your answer using two significant figures.

- You will be studying the two-dimensional motion of a projectile moving in a vertical plane. We assume that there is no air resistance on the projectile. This lab is based on the theory presented in Chapter 4 of the Knight (5th edition) textbook. The diagram below shows the trajectory of a ball projected from the origin at time t=0. On the axes below the diagram, sketch the respective graphs for the projectile motion.

- You fire a ball with an initial speed V0 at an angle (ϕ) above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle (θ) above the horizontal (Figure below). a. Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b. What angle ϕ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance. c. Since there's no air resistance, this is a problem in projectile motion. The goal is to find the point where the ball's parabolic trajectory intersects the incline. It is best to choose the x-axis to be horizontal and direct to the right, the y-axis to be vertical and direct to the up, and the origin to be at the point where the ball is fired. In the projectile equations, the launch angle α0 is measured from the horizontal. What is this angle in terms of (θ) and (ϕ)?arrow_forwardA useful rule of thumb in piloting is that if the heading from your airplane to a second airplane remains constant, the two airplanes are on a collision course. Consider the two airplanes shown in the figure(Figure 1). At time t=0, airplane 1 is at the location (X, 0) and moving in the positive y direction; airplane 2 is at (0, Y) and moving in the positive x direction. The speed of airplane 1 is v1. A) What speed must airplane 2 have if the airplanes are to collide at the point ( X, Y)?

Check the boxes of the THREE TRUE statements. 1. If a particle moves along a straight line with an acceleration that is always equal to zero, it has a constant velocity. 2. If a stone is launched horizontally with initial speed u from the top of a tower of height 7, the time taken for the stone to strike the ground is roughly proportional to u. 3. The acceleration vector of a particle in uniform circular motion is perpendicular to the velocity vector and points radially outwards. 4. If a particle moves round a circle of radius 2.0 m with an angular speed of 3.0 rad s-¹, it has a linear speed of 6 m s-¹. 5.
