AP Physics Motion Questions any help is appreciated.

In summary, the conversation is about the person asking for help with various physics problems and the importance of showing your work when seeking assistance. The questions involve calculations and concepts related to velocity, acceleration, projectile motion, and the motion of objects in different scenarios. The person is reminded to follow the guidelines for posting homework questions and to provide their own attempted solutions before asking for help.

hi, i am having problems on these questions below.. if you can spend some time doing these and help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you get a chance, showing the work won't hurt :)

1. In 1940, Emanuel Zacchini flew about 53 m as a human cannonball, a record that remains unbroken. His initial velocity was 24.2 m/s at an angle theta. What is the maximum height h Emanuel achieved during the record flight? (Ignore air resistance.)

3.
A. If the position of a particle is given by x = 20t – 5t2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds, when, if ever, is the particle’s velocity zero?
B. When is its acceleration zero?
C. When is a negative?

4. A hot air balloonist drops an apple over the side while the balloon is accelerating upward at 4.0 m/s2 during liftoff.

A. What is the apple's acceleration once it is released?
B. If the velocity of the balloon is 2 m/s upward at the instant of release, what is the apple's velocity then?



5. A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 24 m tower. It hits the ground 18 m from the base of the tower.
A. What is the initial velocity of the stone?
B. When is the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground?

6. A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 30 m/s at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. Calculate the magnitude and direction of its velocity
A. at 2.0 s after launch.
B. at 5.0 s after launch.

7.A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 25o to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 15 m/s. If the brick is in flight for 3.0 s, how tall is the building?

9. A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0o above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 m/s. It moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile.

A. What is the maximum altitude reached by the rocket?

B. What is its total time of flight?

C. What is its horizontal range?


10. A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 24.0o 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 4.00 m/s2 for a distance of 50.0 m to the edge of the cliff. The cliff is 30.0 m above the ocean.

A. What is the car’s position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands?
B. How long is the car in the air?


if you know any of these, any help will be greatly appreciated :) thanks in advance.

What happened to 2 and 8?

Try reading the "sticky post"
at the top of the homework forum!

Traditionally (you already know this ...)
you tell us what you already know
before we comment on your approach.

if ur not going to answer the question, don't bother posting anything. thanks

lightgrav is right, though. You can't expect people to do your homework for you! Just post what you tried already, how far you got in your calculation, and ask a specific question regarding what exactly went wrong or what part you are having trouble with.
 

1. What is motion in physics?

Motion in physics refers to the change in position of an object over time. It can be described in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

2. What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a measure of both speed and direction. In other words, velocity takes into account the object's displacement over time.

3. What is acceleration and how is it related to motion?

Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant speed). Acceleration is directly related to an object's motion, as it describes how quickly the velocity is changing.

4. How do forces affect motion?

Forces can cause motion by changing an object's velocity, either by increasing or decreasing its speed or changing its direction. Forces can also cause an object to remain in motion, such as when an object is in orbit around a planet.

5. How can we calculate motion using equations?

There are several equations that can be used to calculate motion, including the equations for displacement, velocity, and acceleration. These equations can be used to solve for unknown variables and predict an object's motion over time.
