Document Summary
28 september 2010: relative motion (15 points). A 200-m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1. 1 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 4. 0 m/s with respect to the water. During volcanic eruptions, chucks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. The figure shows a cross section of mt. Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb"s travel. (b) what would be the time of flight: newton"s laws (20 points). Determine a formula for the magnitude of the force exerted on the large block ( ) in the figure so that the mass does not move relative to. Assume does not make contact with : friction (25 points).
