The radius of earth is 6370 km in the earth reference frame. the cosmic ray is moving at 0.880co relative to earth.

a. in the reference frame of a cosmic ray how wide does earth seem along the flight direction?
b. in the reference frame of a cosmic ray how wide does earth seem perpendicular to the flight direction?
express your answer with the appropriate units.

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. by doing this, you make the time of the impact about 10 times as great as for a stiff-legged landing. in this way the average force your body experiences is a) less than 1/10 as great. b) more than 1/10 as great. c) about 1/10 as great.d) about 10 times as great.

Question 1 (5 pts): what is the maximum distance for which you can you resolve the two individual headlights of an on-coming truck as two separate lights rather than one if the headlights are separated by 2.00 m and your eye has a diameter of 1.00 centimeter? assume a wavelength of 500 nm.

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
