A circus wishes to develop a new clown act. Fig. (1) shows a diagram of the proposed setup. A clown will be shot out of a cannot with velocity v_(0) at a trajectory that makes an angle theta=45^(@) with the ground. At this angile, the clown will travell a maximum horizontal distance. The cannot will accelerate the clown by applying a constant force of 10, 000N over a very short time of 0.24s . The height above the ground at which the clown begins his trajectory is 10m . A large hoop is to be suspended from the celling by a massless cable at just the right place so that the clown will be able to dive through it when he reaches a maximum height above the ground. After passing through the hoop he will then continue on his trajectory until arriving at the safety net. Fig (2) shows a graph of the vertical component of the clown's velocity as a function of time between the cannon and the hoop. Since the velocity depends on the mass of the particular clown performing the act, the graph shows data for serveral different masses. The slope of the line segments plotted in figure 2 is a figure constant. Which one of the following physical quantities does this slope represent?

A body lost in a jungle finds a note. In the note was written the following things. Displacements 1. 300 m 53^(@) South of East . 2. 400 m 37^(@) North of East 3. 500 m North 4. 500sqrt(2) m North- West 5. 500 m South He starts walking at constant speed 2m/s following these displacements in the given order. How far and in which direction has he finally displaced after all the displaced after all the displacements in the note ?

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t=0, the left end (fork end) of the string x=0 has zero transverse displacement (y=0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave on the string.
