3.68 .. A rock is thrown from the roof of a building with a velocity v0 at an angle of a0 from the horizontal. The building has
height h. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate the magnitude of
the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground, and show
that this speed is independent of a0.
3.69 . A 5500-kg cart carrying a vertical rocket launcher moves
to the right at a constant speed of 30.0 m>s along a horizontal
track. It launches a 45.0-kg rocket vertically upward with an initial
speed of 40.0 m>s relative to the cart. (a) How high will the rocket
go? (b) Where, relative to the cart, will the rocket land? (c) How
far does the cart move while the rocket is in the air? (d) At what
angle, relative to the horizontal, is the rocket traveling just as it
leaves the cart, as measured by an observer at rest on the ground?
(e) Sketch the rockets trajectory as seen by an observer (i) stationary on the cart and (ii) stationary on the ground.
3.70 . A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of
20.0 m>s from the edge of a 45.0-m-high cliff. At the instant the
ball is thrown, a woman starts running away from the base of the
cliff with a constant speed of 6.00 m>s. The woman runs in a
straight line on level ground, and air resistance acting on the ball
can be ignored. (a) At what angle above the horizontal should the
ball be thrown so that the runner will catch it just before it hits
the ground, and how far does the woman run before she catches
the ball? (b) Carefully sketch the balls trajectory as viewed by
(i) a person at rest on the ground and (ii) the runner.
3.71 . A 76.0-kg boulder is rolling horizontally at the top of a
vertical cliff that is 20 m above the surface of a lake, as shown in
Fig. P3.71. The top of the vertical face of a dam is located 100 m
from the foot of the cliff, with the top of the dam level with the surface of the water in the lake. A level plain is 25 m below the top of
the dam. (a) What must be the minimum speed of the rock just as it
leaves the cliff so it will travel to the plain without striking the
dam? (b) How far from the foot of the dam does the rock hit the
plain?
