For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (cl

For a steel ball bearing (diameter 2 mm and density 7.8 g/cm3) dropped in glycerin (density 1.3 g/cm3 and viscosity 12 Ns/m2 at STP), the dominant drag force is the linear drag given by (2.82) of Problem 2.2. (a) Find the characteristic time t and the terminal speed vt. [In finding the latter, you sh

Consider a monocentric city where the cost of commuting is $40 per mile per month. A household located eight miles from the city center occupies a dwell- ing with 1,000 square feet at a monthly rent of $600. Nonland cost per dwelling is $250, and there are 10 houses per hectare. a. The price of housi
