| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\vec{v}_{bg}=\vec{v}_{t}+\vec{v}_{bt}\] | Add the train’s velocity \(\vec{v}_{t}\) to the ball’s velocity relative to the train \(\vec{v}_{bt}\) to obtain the ball’s velocity relative to the ground \(\vec{v}_{bg}\). |
| 2 | \[\vec{v}_{bg}=20+(-5)=+15\;\text{m/s}\] | Using rightward as positive, \(20\,\text{m/s}\) (train) plus \(-5\,\text{m/s}\) (ball relative train, leftward) gives \(+15\,\text{m/s}\) to the right. |
| 3 | \[\boxed{\vec{v}_{bg}=15\,\text{m/s (right)}}\] | Result boxed for clarity. |
| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\Delta x = v_{bg} t\] | For constant horizontal speed, displacement \(\Delta x\) equals velocity \(v_{bg}\) times time \(t\). |
| 2 | \[\Delta x = 15\,(\text{m/s})\times 4.0\,(\text{s}) = 60\,\text{m}\] | Insert \(v_{bg}=15\,\text{m/s}\) from part (a) and \(t=4.0\,\text{s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{\Delta x = 60\,\text{m (right)}}\] | Final horizontal distance traveled relative to the ground. |
| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_{x}= -5\,\text{m/s}\] | The ball keeps its original horizontal speed of \(-5\,\text{m/s}\) (leftward) relative to the train; the train exerts no horizontal force before impact. |
| 2 | \[v_{y}=0\,\text{m/s}\] | At the instant it contacts the floor, its vertical speed relative to the train becomes zero; the floor halts the fall. |
| 3 | \[\boxed{\vec{v}_{bt}=5\,\text{m/s (left)}}\] | Only the horizontal component remains; magnitude \(5\,\text{m/s}\) leftward relative to the train. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A drinking fountain projects water at an initial angle of \( 50^ \circ \) above the horizontal, and the water reaches a maximum height of \( 0.150 \) \( \text{m} \) above the point of exit. Assume air resistance is negligible.
Which statements are not valid for a projectile? Take up as positive.
A cylindrical tank of water (height \( H \)) is punctured at a height \( h \) above the bottom. How far from the base of the tank will the water stream land (in terms of \( h \) and \( H \))? What must the value of \( h \) be such that the distance at which the stream lands will be equal to \( H \)?
A projectile is launched at an upward angle of \( 30^\circ \) to the horizontal with a speed of \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \). How does the horizontal component of its velocity \( 1.0 \) \( ext{s} \) after launch compare with its horizontal component of velocity \( 2.0 \) \( ext{s} \) after launch, ignoring air resistance?
Which of the following statements about the acceleration due to gravity is TRUE?
\(15\,\text{m/s\;to\;the\;right}\)
\(60\,\text{m\;to\;the\;right}\)
\(5\,\text{m/s\;to\;the\;left}\)

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
