A projectile is launched on a planet other than Earth at a velocity of 38.1 m/s 30.0o above the horizontal. The ground slopes down in the direction of travel, so the projectile impacts the ground 37.9 m below the level from which it was launched. If the horizontal distance it travels is 419 m, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity near the surface of the alien planet?

A projectile is launched on a planet other than Earth at a velocity of 44.8 m/s 30.0o above the horizontal. The ground slopes down in the direction of travel, so the projectile impacts the ground 47.3 m below the level from which it was launched. If the horizontal distance it travels is 376 m, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity near the surface of the alien planet?

A person in a canoe can paddle his canoe at a steady 3.0 m/s in still water. He wishes to cross a 2.4 km wide river that has a current of 1.8 m/s traveling in the northward direction. Give step by step details in your solutions and solve graphically and analytically. A) If this person first aims his canoe straight across the river in the eastern direction, the current will carry him downstream as he paddles across. What will be...

A 75kg snowboarder has an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s at the top of a 28° incline. After sliding down the 110m long incline (on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.18), the snowboarder has attained a velocity v. The snowboarder then slides along a flat surface (on which μk=0.15) and comes to a rest after a distance x. a. Use energy calculations to determine x. b. Use Newton’s 2nd Law to find the snowboarder’s acceleration while on the...
