3.6 A dog running in an open field has components of veloc- ity v, = 3.2 m/s and v, = —1.8 m/s at f = 11.1 s. For the time interval from f) = 11.15 to fy = 24.95, the average acceleration of the dog has magnitude 0.54 m/s* and direction 33.5° measured from the Y-axis toward the +y-avis, At = 24.9, (a) what are the x- and y-components of the dog’s velocity? (b) What are the ‘magnitude and direction of the dog’s velocity? (©) Sketch the ve- locity vectors at 1, and fy. How do these two vectors differ? 3.26 °» A model ofa helicopter rotor has four blades, each 3.00 m Jong from the central shaft tothe blade tip. The model is rotated in wind tunnel at 470 rev/min, (a) What is the linear speed of the blade tip, in m/s? (b) What isthe radial acceleration of the blade tip expressed as a multiple of ¢? 3.42 - CALC The position of a dragonfly that is flying par- allel to the ground is given as a function of time by 7 = [2.90.m + (0.0900 m/s?)1?]8 — (0.0150 m/s*)r7. (@) At what Value of 7 does the velocity vector of the dragonfly make an angle (of 32.0° clockwise from the +1-axis? (b) Atte time calculated in part (a), what are the magnitude and direction of the dragontly’s acceleration vector? 3.56 s+ A water hose is used to fill a large cylindrical storage tank of diameter D and height 2D. The hose shoots the water at 45° above the horizontal from the same level as the base of the tank and is a distance 6D away (Fig, P3.36). For what range of launch speeds (vo) will the water enter the tank? Ignore air resis- tance, and express your answer in terms of D and g. Figure P3.56 3.63 ~ Leaping the River II. A physics professor did dare- devil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle (Fig. P3.63). The takeoff ramp was inclined at $3.0°, the river was 40,0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp. Ignore air resistance. (a) What should his speed hhave been at the top of the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank? (b) I his speed was only half the value found in part (a), where did he land? 2 So Figure 2.6 400m->, {
