1. This document contains 7 multi-part physics problems involving projectile motion, kinematics, and dynamics. The problems cover topics like calculating initial and final velocities and accelerations of moving objects, determining time and distance relationships, and analyzing projectile motion up inclines. Complicated scenarios are presented, requiring the use of kinematic equations and principles of forces to derive relationships between variables like speed, time, distance, acceleration, and projectile launch angles.

1. A truck covers 40.0 m in 8.50s while smoothly slowing down to a final velocity of 2.80m/s. (a) Find the trucks original speed. (b) Find its acceleration. 2. A car traveling at constant speed of 24m/s passes a trooper hidden behind the billboard. One second later after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in the chase with a constant acceleration of 3m/s 2. (a) How long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car? (b) How fast is the trooper going at that time? 3. Consider the following combinations of signs and the values foe the velocity and acceleration of the particle with respect to one-dimensional x-axis:
Velocity Acceleration a. Positive Positive b. Positive Negative c. Positive Zero d. Negative Positive e. Negative Zero 4. A juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 4.0 m above the level of his hands. He threw an apple vertically upward so that it reaches the ceiling. a). With what initial velocity does he thrown the apple? b). How much time is required for threw apple to reach the ceiling?
He throws a second apple upward with the same initial speed at the instant the first apple is at the ceiling. c). How much time after the second apple is thrown do the two apples pass each other? d). When the apples pass each other, how far are they above the jugglers hand? 5. A ball is dropped from the top of a cliff that is 24m high. From ground level, a second ball is thrown upward at the same instant the first ball is dropped. The initial speed of the second ball is the same as that with which the first ball eventually hits the ground. Determine how fast below the top of the cliff the two balls cross paths. 6. In 1971 All Star Game at Detroit, Reggie Jackson of the Oakland Athletics hit what may have been a record home run. According to one of the newspaper account, Jacksons Herculean clout left the field at the 415 foot mark at a point 132 ft. high. It was estimated to have travelled 600ft. show that if the ball leaves Jacksons bat at an angle 45 to the horizontal and it passed a specified point, it would have travelled slightly more that 608ft (in the absence of air resistance). Use g=32.2 ft/s 2 if needed. Prove that the theoretical range of the ball is given by:
L2 R= LH
7. A projectile fired up an incline (incline angle ) with an initial speed v 1 at an
angle 1 with respect to the horizontal (1> ) as shown in the figure. (a) show that the projectile travels the distance d up the incline, where 2 vi2 cos 1 sin (1) d= g cos2
