A WCU student, who is snowboarding at Cataloochee, slides horizontally off the ledge of snowbank that is 1.25 meters above the ground.   When she leaves the ledge, she is initially moving horizontally at 7.50 m/s. Ignore air friction, as usual.

  1. Make a table showing values of x, y, vx, vy, and vtotal from the beginning (t = 0) to end (you’ll have to figure out tfinal) of her path for every 0.0200 seconds. (Note that she will hit the ground, y = 0, at the end.)
  1. Plot a graph of the snowboarder’s position during this whole time. (That is, plot her y vs. x position on one single graph.)

Nancy Lee iis student who has a business idea which she envisages will pay off her student loan and might possibly lead to a long-term business career. Her idea is to hire a machine to make decorative i-phone covers and sell them on-line and hopefully generate lots of cash. She thought that she would start with 3 styles, Lego, Tiger and Whale and sell them for $25, $25 and $20 per cover respectively. After a bit of market research she...
A carpenter tosses a shingle horizontally off a roof at an initial velocity u = 17m/s.
A carpenter tosses a shingle horizontally off a roof at an initial velocity u = 17m/s. The shingle travels a distance d = 20.0 m in the horizontal direction. You may assume that the acceleration Je to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.  Draw a vertical position vs. horizontal position (y vs. x) plot. Label the known Quantities in the plot.  How long does it take the shingle to reach the ground?  What is the height of the roof that the shingle...
