Solutions to Projectile Motion Sheet
A soccer ball is kicked....
t = 2.1s (use distance = vi*t + 1/2 at^2)
Vi = 16.7m/s (use distance = v * t)
A long jumper...
time = 1.1s (find the time it takes to get the peak using Vf = Vi + at, and double it)
horizontal distance = 11.66m
Vertical distance = Vit+1/2at^2 = 1.6m
A small mass...
Horizontal component of velocity: 40*cos35 = 32.8
Vertical component of velocity: 40*sin35 = 22.9
Time to peak = 2.3s (Vf = Vi + at)
Distance to peak = initial distance plus projectile = 46.7 m
Vertical Distance = 173m
Automobile accident...
time = .35s
Velocity = 13.1m/s
t = 2.1s (use distance = vi*t + 1/2 at^2)

Extra Credit Opportunity
Based on the results of the test Friday, it looks like some folks might want some extra credit. I will be offering the following:
Opportunity 1: You can go through each of the multiple choice questions, and provide 1-2 sentences for which answer is correct and why.
Opportunity 2: You can create your own mechanics worksheet, with at least 6 different questions:
One for each of the missing variables, plus one that is missing two variables.
These questions can be similar to the ones on the worksheet given in class, but must contain different numbers you select, such as changing the time from 2.4 s to 7 s (and they can't be the same exact problem as anything online either).

Topics on the exam
Scalar v. vector
Displacement v. distance, speed v. velocity
How to calculate displacement
The SLOPE of distance v. time is velocity/speed
The SLOPE of vecloity/speed v. time is acceleration
distance = rate * time
Vertical velocity changes, horizontal doesnt
Change in velocity/change in time = acceleration
As I increase the angle at which i launch something, the vertical component of the velocity goes up, the horizontal component goes down.
Centripetal acceleration increases with increased velocity, and decreases with increased radius, and always points IN
Remember/memorize the BIG FIVE equations!

G-force
The amount of g-force the human body can handle actually depends on a couple of things:
1. How long the interaction is (how long the force is applied)
2. What direction the interaction is (horizontal or vertical)
Humans can withstain 100's of g's for example, for a mere second. However, over a sustained period of time (such as 20 g's for a minute) it can be deadly.
A typical person can sustain about 5g's in a vertical direction and about 17g in the horizontal direction.
The record for the most g force at an amusement park is 5.5g.
Fighter pilots can go between 6-9g, but may experience what is known as a "greyout" (temporary loss of vision, ability to speak, etc)
Formula One drivers typically experience 5g while breaking, 2g while accelerating, and 4-6 g when cornering.
Strongest g-forces survived by humans
Voluntarily: Colonel John Stapp in 1954 sustained 46.2 g in a rocket sled, while conducting research on the effects of human deceleration.
Involuntarily: Formula One racing car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to 0 in a distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall.

Escape Velocity
The escape velocity on the surface of the earth is about 11.2 kilometers per second (which is about 6.96 mi/s)
