A toy helicopter is flying in a straight line at a constant speed of 5.1 m/s. If a projectile is launched vertically with an initial speed of v0 = 25 m/s, what horizontal distance d should the helicopter be from the launch site S if the projectile is to be traveling downward when it strikes the helicopter? Assume that the projectile travels only in the vertical direction. Answer: d = m

(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.28×104 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s )? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.) m/s (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85×104 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of 4.10×104 m/s relative to the Sun, what is the increase in speed needed from the gravitational slingshot at Jupiter for the space probe to escape the solar system (in m/s )? (Assume that the Earth and the point on Jupiter's orbit lie along the same radial line from the Sun.) m/s

A projectile is launched at point O in the x−y plane with the initial velocity and angle, as shown. Simultaneously, an airplane is flying in x−y plane in a straight line at an angle of 30-deg from the x-axis with a constant velocity of 480 ft/s. At the instant of 4 -seconds after the launch of the ball, calculate the following: a) The magnitude of the resultant velocity of the ball as measured by the pilot, b) The direction (measured counterclockwise from the x-axis) of the resultant velocity of the ball as measured by the pilot.

A student throws a water balloon at an initial angle θ = 25∘ above the horizontal with initial speed v0 from a height h = 1.9 m. The target is located on the ground a horizontal distance d = 5.5 m from the student's feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. Determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second. v0 = m/s
