An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height H0 above the ground. The ground is covered with a thick lawn, which is made of blades of grass of height h. When the apple enters the grass, it slows down at a constant rate so that its speed is 0 when it reaches ground level. A. Find the speed of the apple just before it enters the grass. B. Find the acceleration...

In the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at the elevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range when launched at a 45∘ angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launched with speed v0 into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontal retarding force F⃗ wind =−Fwindi^. By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.600 kg ball reduced if Fwind = 0.100 N ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

4. Falling Drop A raindrop of mass \(m_{0}\), starting from rest, falls under the influence of gravity. Assume that as the raindrop travels through the clouds, it gains mass at a rate proportional to the momentum of the raindrop, \(\frac{d m_{r}}{d t}=k m_{r} v_{r}\), where \(m_{r}\) is the instantaneous mass of the raindrop, \(v_{r}\) is the instantaneous velocity of the raindrop, and \(k\) is a constant with unit \(\left[m^{-1}\right] .\) You may neglect air resistance.(a) Derive a differential equation for the...

In this lab, an apple is released from rest and falls freely until it lands in a bowl. Watch the video here. We will be measuring y (the vertical position coordinate) as a function of time t. Notation: y0 is the value of y at t = 0; vy is the y-component of the velocity; vy0 is the value of vy at t = 0; ay is the y-component of the acceleration. The +y-direction is up. Assuming air resistance is...

A 540-g squirrel with a surface area of 875 cm2 falls from a 5.2-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectanglar prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.2 cm and length 22.4 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.)...
