Chapter 4 Worksheet
a) Sketch a vector diagram of the ball just as it leaves the table.
, in component form, as it falls.
c) How much time does it take for the ball to fall to the ground?
d) Express the velocity vector of the ball just before it strikes the ground?
e) What is the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground? Why?
f) What is the magnitude of the ball’s velocity just before it hits the ground?
g) Sketch a vector diagram of the ball just before it strikes the ground.
h) How far from the table does the ball strike the ground?
i) If the same ball were travelling with an initial horizontal speed of 10 m/s when it leaves the table, how long does it take for the ball to strike the ground?
j) How far from the table would the ball in (f) strike the ground?
Chapter 4 Worksheet
b) Express the bullet’s initial velocity vector in component form.
c) How long does the bullet take to reach the top of its trajectory?
d) How high above the ground does the bullet reach at the top of its trajectory?
e) Sketch a vector diagram of the bullet at the top of its trajectory.
f) Express the bullet’s velocity vector of the bullet, in component form, at the top of its trajectory?
g) What is the total “hang time” for the bullet?
h) Express the displacement vector for the bullet, r(t), in component form.

Chapter 4 Worksheet
a. Draw a simple vector diagram for the car during this road test.
b. What is the maximum lateral acceleration in SI units?
c. What speed would correspond to the acceleration calculated in (b)?
d. Express the velocity vector in component form for the Corvette when it has traveled 40o around the track.
e. How fast would the Corvette be able to travel around a 100.m track before the tires lose traction with the pavement? Assume the same maximum lateral acceleration as above.
