The drawing shows two planes each dropping an empty fuel tank. At the moment of release each plane has the same speed of 136 m/s, and each tank is at the same height of 2.73 km above the ground. Although the speeds are the same, the velocities are different at the instant of release, because one plane is flying at an angle of 15.0° above the horizontal and the other is flying at an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane A. Find the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane B. In each part, give the direction as a positive angle with respect to the horizontal.

Here we have two planes each about to drop an empty fuel tank. At the moment of release each plane has the same speed of 135 m/s, and each tank is at the same height of 2.00 km above the ground. Although the speeds are the same, the velocities are different at the instant of release, because one plane is flying at an angle of 15.0o above the horizontal and the other is flying at an angle of 15.0o below...

The drawing shows two identical systems of objects; each consists of the same three small balls connected by massless rods. In both systems the axis is perpendicular to the page, but it is located at a different place, as shown. The same force of magnitude F is applied to the same ball in each system (see the drawing). The masses of the balls are m1 = 9.4 kg, m2 = 6.9 kg, and m3 = 7.2 kg. The magnitude of...

Two horizontal, parallel conductors are connected to each other at the left end via an ammeter of internal resistance of r = 2 Ω. A conductor of length L = 0.5 m, resistance R = 8 Ω and mass m = 5 kg can slide (no friction) along the horizontal rails. The whole system is inside a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 2 T and direction perpendicular to the plane formed by the two parallel conductors (i.e., pointing into the...

In the annual battle of the dorms, students gather on the roofs of Jackson and Walton dorms to launch water balloons at each other with slingshots. The horizontal distance between the buildings is 34.0 m, and the heights of the Jackson and Walton buildings are, respectively, 15.0 m and 22.0 m. The first balloon launched by the Jackson team hits Walton dorm 1.90 s after launch, striking it halfway between the ground and the roof. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find...

4. A pilot flying from Honolulu to California flies at an airspeed of 300.0 m/s (“airspeed” = airplane’s speed through the surrounding air) with her airplane pointed 70.0˚ to the east of north. However, the air itself is moving with a 50.0-m/s windspeed blowing due east. When the pilot adds together the two vectors of her airspeed and the windspeed, she gets her groundspeed: the airplane’s actual velocity relative to the ground below. (Even though these are called “speeds” by...
