27. Firing Balls I A small cart is rolling at constant velocity on a flat track. It fires a ball straight up into the air as it moves. After it is fired, what happens to the ball? 1) it depends on how fast the cart is moving 2) it falls behind the cart 3) it falls in front of the cart 4) it falls right back into the cart 5) it remains at rest

28. ConcepTest 3.4a Firing Balls I A small cart is rolling at constant velocity on a flat track. It fires a ball straight up into the air as it moves. After it is fired, what happens to the ball? 1) it depends on how fast the cart is moving 2) it falls behind the cart 3) it falls in front of the cart 4) it falls right back into the cart 5) it remains at rest when viewed from train when viewed from ground vertical same horizontal velocity In the frame of reference of the cart, the ball only has a vertical component of velocity. So it goes up and comes back down. To a ground observer, both the cart and the ball have the same horizontal velocity, so the ball still returns into the cart.

29. Dropping a Package You drop a package from a plane flying at constant speed in a straight line. Without air resistance, the package will: quickly lag behind the plane while falling 1) quickly lag behind the plane while falling 2) remain vertically under the plane while falling 3) move ahead of the plane while falling 4) not fall at all

30. You drop a package from a plane flying at constant speed in a straight line. Without air resistance, the package will: quickly lag behind the plane while falling 1) quickly lag behind the plane while falling 2) remain vertically under the plane while falling 3) move ahead of the plane while falling 4) not fall at all same horizontal velocity maintain x-direction Both the plane and the package have the same horizontal velocity at the moment of release. They will maintain this velocity in the x-direction, so they stay aligned. Follow-up: What would happen if air resistance were present? ConcepTest 3.5 Dropping a Package

31. Dropping the Ball I From the same height (and at the same time), one ball is dropped and another ball is fired horizontally. Which one will hit the ground first? 1) the “dropped” ball 2) the “fired” ball 3) they both hit at the same time 4) it depends on how hard the ball was fired 5) it depends on the initial height

32. 1) the “dropped” ball 2) the “fired” ball 3) they both hit at the same time 4) it depends on how hard the ball was fired 5) it depends on the initial height They both fall from the same height.Therefore, they will hit the ground at the same time. Both of the balls are falling vertically under the influence of gravity. They both fall from the same height. Therefore, they will hit the ground at the same time. The fact that one is moving horizontally is irrelevant – remember that the x and y motions are completely independent !! Follow-up: Is that also true if there is air resistance? Dropping the Ball I From the same height (and at the same time), one ball is dropped and another ball is fired horizontally. Which one will hit the ground first?

33. Dropping the Ball II In the previous problem, which ball has the greater velocity at ground level? 1) the “dropped” ball 2) the “fired” ball 3) neither – they both have the same velocity on impact 4) it depends on how hard the ball was thrown

34. In the previous problem, which ball has the greater velocity at ground level? 1) the “dropped” ball 2) the “fired” ball 3) neither – they both have the same velocity on impact 4) it depends on how hard the ball was thrown same vertical velocity “fired” ball has a larger net velocity Both balls have the same vertical velocity when they hit the ground (since they are both acted on by gravity for the same time). However, the “fired” ball also has a horizontal velocity. When you add the two components vectorially, the “fired” ball has a larger net velocity when it hits the ground. Dropping the Ball II

35. Projectile A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 30 o. At what point in its trajectory does this projectile have the least speed? 1) just after it is launched 2) at the highest point in its flight 3) just before it hits the ground 4) halfway between the ground and the highest point 5) speed is always constant

36. A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 30 o. At what point in its trajectory does this projectile have the least speed? 1) just after it is launched 2) at the highest point in its flight 3) just before it hits the ground 4) halfway between the ground and the highest point 5) speed is always constant smallest highest point y-component of the velocity is zero The speed is smallest at the highest point of its flight path because the y-component of the velocity is zero.
