You built a pinball machine that has a banked circular track with radius O.34 m. The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game. You fire pin balls at a constant speed into the track and adjust the banking angle until it works. The banking angle is 21 degrees. Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s? Hint: I have a video on this problem about swing pendulum but the results are very similar, except a string length was given instead of path radius and tension was present instead of normal force. Assume friction is negligible.

I asked the question here before but the solution was wrong. that's why I will ask again. Sam and William are playing with a ball. Sam throws the ball 30 s after William started to run away from the starting position. If William is accelerating 1.6 m/s2 starting from rest, find the initial velocity of the ball to hit the moving target and the ground at the same time. The ball is thrown 1.5 m from the ground and 46° from the horizontal. Choices: a. 112 m/s b. 126 m/s c. 163 m/s d. 143 m/s

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an aileron roll. During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight path, by using its ailerons to set the wings in circular motion. If it takes the plane 35s to complete the circle and each wing length is 4.6m, what is the acceleration of the wing tip? O A. 0.69 mis? OB.0. 15 m/s? OC14 mis? OD.6.7 mis?
The problem relates to the gliding flight of flying squirrels. These squirrels glide from tree to tree at a constant speed, moving in a straight line tipped below the vertical and steadily losing altitude as they move forward. Short and long glides have different profiles. A squirrel in a typical long glide covers a horizontal distance of 16 m while losing 8.0 m of elevation. During this glide,a. What is the angle of the squirrel’s path below the horizontal?b. What is the total distance covered by the squirrel?
