Problem 3.73
In a Fourth of July celebration, a firecracker is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of 25.9
at 36.9 from the vertical. At its maximum height it explodes in a starburst into many fragments, two of which
travel forward initially at 24.2 at 45.1 with respect to the horizontal, both quantities measured relative to
the original firecracker just before it exploded.

Part A
With what angles with respect to the horizontal do the two fragments initially move right after the explosion, as
measured by a spectator standing on the ground?

ANSWER:
, = 24.4,-24.4
Correct

Problem 3.74
In an action-adventure film, the hero is supposed to throw a grenade from his car, which is going 71.0 , to
his enemy's car, which is going 111 . The enemy's car is 15.4 in front of the hero's when he lets go of the
grenade.

Part A
If the hero throws the grenade so its initial velocity relative to him is at an angle of 45 above the horizontal,
what should the magnitude of the initial velocity be? The cars are both traveling in the same direction on a level
road. You can ignore air resistance.

ANSWER:
= 80.8

The mechanism shown in the figure is used to raise a crate of supplies from a ship's hold. The crate has total
mass 56 . A rope is wrapped around a wooden cylinder
that turns on a metal axle. The cylinder has radius 0.30

The crate is suspended from the free end of the rope. One
end of the axle pivots on frictionless bearings; a crank
handle is attached to the other end. When the crank is
turned, the end of the handle rotates about the axle in a
vertical circle of radius 0.12 , the cylinder turns, and the
crate is raised.

A uniform cylinder rolls up an incline without slipping. As it rolls uphill, its speed decreases. The surface of the

ANSWER: the friction force

Since the surface and incline are perfectly rigid, the normal force exerted by the incline on the cylinder is
directed toward the cylinder's center. Hence, this force exerts zero torque about the center. The weight of

the cylinder acts at its center (because the cylinder is uniform), so this force also exerts zero torque around
the center. The friction force acts tangential to the circumference of the cylinder, so it does exert a torque
