Chapters IV, V, VII
Chapter 4: Motion in Two and Three Dimensions
Conceptual problems
4.C.2 (5.00)
Two girls decide to jump off a diving board. Katherine steps off the diving board. Anna runs straight off the diving board so that her initial velocity is solely horizontal. They both leave the diving board at the same time. Which one lands in the water first?

Section 7: Projectile motion
4.7.1 (5.00)
A friend throws a baseball horizontally. He releases it at a height of 2.0 m and it lands 21 m from his front foot, which is directly below the point at which he released the baseball. (a) How long was it in the air? (b) How fast did he throw it?

Section 14: Projectile motion: aiming a cannon
4.14.4 (7.00)
Consider the second monkey and the professor simulation in Section 4.13 in the textbook. Use θ for the angle at which the cannon is aimed, and v for the initial speed of the banana. Show mathematically why θ must be the angle such that the bazooka initially points at the professor in order for the professor to catch the banana.
Submit answer on paper.
Section 18: Interactive problem: the human cannonball
4.18.1 (5.00)
Using the simulation in the interactive problem in Section 4.18, if the cannon is aimed at an angle of 20.0°, what should the firing speed be so that the human cannonball will land on the net?

Section 12: Tension
5.12.1 (5.00)
An ice rescue team pulls a stranded hiker off a frozen lake by throwing him a rope and pulling him horizontally across the essentially frictionless ice with a constant force. The hiker weighs 1040 N, and accelerates across the ice at
1.20 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope? (Ignore the mass of the rope.)
