A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.1 m high 23.5 degree ramp, sail across a 8 m wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as he starts up the ramp. He is going 12 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient 0.02) is not negligible. Does...
A daredevil on a motorcycle leaves the end of a ramp with a speed of 37.8 m/s as in the figure below. If his speed is 36.3 m/s when he reaches the peak of the path, what is the maximum height that he reaches? Ignore friction and air resistance.
A daredevil on a motorcycle leaves the speed of a ramp with a speed of 33.5 m/s as in the figure below. If his speed is 31.8 m/s when he reaches the peak of the path, what is the maximum height that he reaches? Ignore friction and air resistance, m A 44.0-kg projectile is fired at an angle of 30.0 degree above the horizontal with an initial speed of 1 40 times 102 m/s from the top of a cliff...

What are Bob's initial velocities in the horizontal and vertical direction? b. What is Bob's initial position in the horizontal and vertical direction? c. What is Bob's acceleration in the horizontal and vertical directions? d. How long is Bob in the air? e. How far from...
The sport of skateboarding provides an excellent example of the principle of Conservation of Energy. In particular, let us consider 'vert skateboarding' where a personrides the skateboard on a vertical ramp that forms part of a hemisphere referred to as a 'half-pipe.' It consists of the transition from the curved part to the flatand the vertical. Below is a schematic of a half-pipe with the 'vert'. The surface of the half-pipe and the material of the wheels on the skateboard...
