A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 3.97 m/s2 for a distance of 55.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 40.0 m above the ocean. (a) Find the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean. m (b) Find the length of time the car is in the air. s

Solutions

Expert Solution

PART (a):

Distance covered on incline, S = 55 m

Acceleration, a = 3.97 m/s²

Hence, Final speed (when it reaches the cliff) is given by:

---------------

Time required to fall down a height of 40 m is given by:

Solving for time (quadratic equation), t = 2.0947 s

--------------------------

Therefore horizontal distance traveled by the car (car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean) is given by:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART (b):

We have already found the time of car in air:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a golf ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the golf ball with a velocity of 18.5 m/s at an angle of 37.5∘ above the horizontal. When the golf ball leaves her hand, it is 10.5 mabove the water. How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer.
