Projectile Motion Calculations and Analysis

The document presents several physics problems related to projectiles and motion. In the first problem, the height reached by a dart launched with different initial velocities is calculated. In the second, the angle of elevation necessary for a water jet to reach a building at a certain distance is calculated. Finally, the minimum initial velocity and the distance of fall of a shell fired towards a cliff are calculated.

soil.

3.24. The firefighters are spraying a jet of water at a burning building, using a
high-pressure hose that gives water a speed of . / upon leaving through the
nozzle. Once it exits the hose, the water moves in a projectile motion.
firefighters adjust the elevation angle from the hose until the water takes .
upon arriving at a building that is at . of distance. Ignore air resistance and assume
that the hose nozzle is at ground level.

3.28. Imagine that on your first day of work for an appliance manufacturer, you
they ask me to find out what to do with the washing machine's spin cycle to triple it
centripetal acceleration, and you impress your boss by answering immediately. What do you
answer?
It is necessary to determine how the radial acceleration depends on the rotation period T.

Para cualquier artículo en la lavadora, la aceleración centrípeta será inversamente


proportional to the square of the rotation period; tripling the centripetal acceleration implies
decrease the period by a factor of 3, so that the new period ′ is given in
terms of the previous period for ′ = .
3

The rotation period must be reduced to increase the rotation speed and, therefore,
increase the centripetal acceleration.
