Geralt the Witcher is in your town and you want to toss a coin to him. Geralt is 15m away and sits atop his horse at a height of 5m. Geralt is impatient and wants his coin in 1s. If you toss the coin from a height of 1m, at what velocity (in m/s) must you toss the coin to get it to him in time?

A lion starts at rest 26 m away from a clueless Jordan and charges towards him at a constant velocity of 45km/h. It takes Jordan 1s to react to the lion, turn around and begin running at a velocity of 4.8 m/s towards his vehicle. Jordan's Land Rover is parked 6 m away from him and on the same axis as the lion's charge. Does Jordan get away? Show all work. If Jordan escapes, how far away is the lion...

(a) Use the central limit theorem to determine the probability that if you toss a coin 50 times, you get fewer than 20 heads. (b) A coin is continuously tossed until the heads come up 20th time. Use the central limit theorem to estimate the probability that more than 50 coin tosses are required to get the 20th head. (c) Compare your answers from parts (a) and (b). Why are they close but not exactly equal?

In a coin game, you repeatedly toss a biased coin (0.75 for head, 0.25 for tail). Each head represent 3 points and tail represents 1 points. You can either Toss or Stop if the total number of points you have tossed is no more than 7. Otherwise, you must Stop. When you Stop, your utility is equal to your total points (up to 7), or zero if you get a total of 8 or higher. When you Toss, you receive...

To test the hypothesis that a coin is fair, you toss it 100 times. Your decision rules allow you to accept the hypothesis only if you get between 40 and 60 tails in 100 tosses. What is the probability of committing Type II error when the actual probability of tails is 0.7?

You toss a truck into the air at an angle of theta above the horizontal so that it will travel in an arc... off the side of a cliff - in the middle of winter. After you throw it, you know the following: the horizontal component of the truck's velocity is 16.4 m/s. the vertical component of the truck's velocity is 16.9 m/s. The truck is in free fall (no air resistance) while it is in the air. What is...

Suppose you toss a basketball upward while standing still with an initial velocity of 7 meters/second and it rises to about 2.45 meters. That's below the standard 3.05 meters (10 feet) for a basketball hoop, so you miss the shot. Which of these would get you the goal a) Give the same 7 m/s from the same height, but early in a jump upward at 1 m/s. b) From standing still, give a velocity of 8 m/s. c) Give the...

1.)You are hitting baseballs. When you toss the ball into the air, your hand is 5 feet above the ground (see figure). You hit the ball when it falls back to a height of 3.5 feet. You toss the ball with an initial velocity of 20 feet per second. The height h of the ball t seconds after leaving your hand is given by h = 5 + 20t ? 16t2. How much time will pass before you hit the...
