Then, he takes a left turn and walks due North for 5.0 km. Next, he walks in a straight line pointing 20° North of West for 2.0 km. Finally, he walks in a straight line pointing 15° West of ‘South for 6.0 km, Find his displacement vector, D, the magnitude of his displacement, D, and his total distance traveled, d. Daly fails to conquer Niagara Falls Star golfer loses 20 balls in 342-yard-wide water hazard a 2) Golfer John Daly is hitting golf balls in an attempt to clear the 313 meter wide Niagara Falls. Assume he is on a platform such that his height is 10 meters higher than the target on the other side of the falls. The golf ball takes offat 40° above the horizontal. What must the magnitude of the golf ball's initial velocity be to clear the falls? How long does its fight take? 3) In 2003, Ferrari built their ultimate super-car, the Enzo, in a limited production run of only 389, The 660-hp car can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in only 3.3 seconds (1 rile = 1.6 km). It can brake from 60 mph to zero in only 109 feet (1 ft = 0.30 m). Andit can maintain a constant radial acceleration of 1.01 g. a) Assume constant acceleration for the 0-60 run. What is the magnitude of alin terms of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) Assume constant acceleration for the 60-O test. What is the magnitude of alin terms of the acceleration due to gravity, g? ©) What is the maximum reading on the speedometer (in mph) ifthe Enzo is traveling along a circle with a 100 meter diameter? 4) The Total Gym®, endorsed by Chuck Norris, relies on resistance based on your body weight moving along an inclined plane. By pulling on the cable, you lift yourself up along the inclined plane. Assume frictionless motion, @ massless cart and pulley, @ 30° incline above horizontal, and a lear-and- mean 100 kg for Chuck's mass. a) How much force does Chuck have to apply to move his body at a constant velocity? What percentage is this of his body weight? b) If Chuck doubles his effort, what is the magnitude of his acceleration up ‘the plane?
