Problem 84CP A cannon on a train car fires a projectile to the right with speed v0, relative to the train, from a barrel elevated at angle ?. The cannon fires just as the train, which had been causing to the right along a level track with speed vtrain, begins to accelerate with acceleration a. Find

Fundamentals of Physics: 9
A bead with mass 1.8 X 10-2 kg is moving along a wire in the positive direction of an x axis. Beginning at time t = 0, when the bead passes through x = 0 with speed 12 mis, a constant force acts on the bead. Figure 7-22 indicates the bead's position at these four times: to = 0, t1 = 1.0 s, t2 = 2.0 s
