- NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. An overhead door is guided by wheels at A and B that roll in horizontal and vertical tracks. Know that when 0 = 30° the velocity of wheel B is 3 ft/s downward. 5 ft 5 ft Determine the velocity of end D of the door. The velocity of end D of the door is (- j) ft/s.arrow_forwardJohn is standing at point 0 at ground level facing east. He throws a ball at an angle of 60° (Eradians) at an initial velocity of 20 m/s. 1. Decompose the initial velocity Vo, in its x- and y-components (in simplest root form). Final answer: 2. Assume point 0 is the origin. Write down the vertical position function of the ball, ya(t), assuming that the gravitational acceleration is –9.8 m/s?, as well as the horizontal position function of the ball, xg(t), ignoring air/wind resistance (in simplest root form). Remember: s(t) =at² + vot + Sq, where vo is initial velocity and s, is initial position. Final answer: yB(t) = X¤(t) = 3. What is the maximum height of the ball? Final answer: 4. How long will it take for the ball to be back on the ground? Final answer:arrow_forwardYou are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make. Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system. Thanks!arrow_forward
- Hello, I'm simply looking for help on how to draw a proper vector graph to the example below. Please and thank you. A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 7.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0º north of east. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the Earth?arrow_forwardA frog jumps at an angle 30° above the horizontal. The origin of the coordinate system is at the point where the frog leaves the ground. Complete the attached table by drawing check marks in the cells that correctly connect the quantities in the first column that describe the motion of the frog and the descriptions of what is happening to these quantities while the frog is moving. For each quantity, explain why your choice is correct. Consider the frog as a point-like object and assume that the resistive force exerted by the air is negligible.arrow_forwardA golf ball is struck with an initial velocity of 10m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Please draw a picture of the situation in a 2-dimensional coordinate system. Please draw one ball at the initial position and one at the maximum height of the trajectory. We will call that maximum height the 'final position' for this example. Label Xi, yi Draw and label the vectors Vi, Viv, and Vix for the 'initial' state of the ball. Label Xf, Yf Draw and label the vectors Vf, Vfy, and Vfx for the 'initial' state of the ball. Be sure to draw your vectors in the appropriate direction and with roughly the appropriate scale. Remember that, for projectile motion, the acceleration in the x direction is zero and the acceleration in the y direction is -g. Keep that in mind when you are deciding how to draw your velocity vectors.arrow_forward

The tangent, the acceleration, and the jerk are coplanar vectors all along the given curve C. B. The tangent vector, acceleration vector, and the jerk vector are nowhere simultaneously coplanar along curve C. C. The jerk vector indicates the direction and magnitude of the change in acceleration, therefore it is nowhere coplanar with the acceleration. D. The vector function, tangent vector, and the acceleration vector are coplanar. E. None of the listed alternatives.arrow_forwardStarting from rest, a child throws a ball of mass m with an initial speed v, at an angle B with the horizontal direction.
