Collision Course A useful rule of thumb in boating is that if the heading from your boat to a second boat remains constant, the two boats are on a collision course. Consider the two boats shown in Figure 4-23. At time \(t=0\), boat 1 is at the location and moving in the positive direction; boat 2 is at and moving in the positive direction. The speed of boat 1 is \(v_1\).

Projectiles: Coming or Going? Most projectiles continually move farther from the origin during their flight, but this is not the case if the launch angle is greater than \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)=70.5^{\circ}\). For example, the projectile shown in Figure 4-24 has a launch angle of \(75.0^{\circ}\) and an initial speed of 10.1 m/s. During the portion of its motion shown in red, it is moving closer to the origin it is moving away on the blue portions. Calculate the distance from the origin to the projectile (a) at the start of the red portion, (b) at the end of the red portion, and (c) just before the projectile lands. Notice that the distance for part (b) is the smallest of the three. Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: cos^-1(1/3)=70.5degree 75degree

Landing Rovers on Mars When the twin Mars exploration rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, set down on the surface of the red planet in January of 2004, their method of landing was both unique and elaborate. After initial braking with retro rockets, the rovers began their long descent through the thin Martian atmosphere on a parachute until they reached an altitude of about 16.7 m. At that point a system of four air bags with six lobes each were inflated, addi- tional retro rocket blasts brought the craft to a virtual standstill, and the rovers detached from their parachutes. After a period of free fall to the surface, with an acceleration of \(3.72\ \mathrm {m/s^2}\), the rovers bounced about a dozen times before coming to rest. They then deflated their air bags, righted themselves, and began to explore the surface. Figure 4–25 shows a rover with its surrounding cushion of air bags making its first contact with the Martian surface. After a typical first bounce the upward velocity of a rover would be 9.92 m/s at an angle of \(75.0^\circ\) above the horizontal. Assume this is the case for the problems that follow. What is the maximum height of a rover between its first and second bounces? A. 2.58 m B. 4.68 m C. 12.3 m D. 148 m Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: 3.72 m/s^2 75.0^o vec{r}(t)
