4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of .
4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of . His position at time
is given by the vector
where is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time
. He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular
where
. Splitting up the position vector into components, we have
with
The Coyote hits the ground when :
4b. Here we evaluate at the time found in (4a).
5. The shell has initial position vector , and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of
.
5a. The vertical component of the shell's position vector is
We find the shell hits the ground at
5b. The horizontal component of the bullet's position vector is
where is the muzzle velocity of the bullet. It traveled 3500 m in the time it took the shell to fall to the ground, so we can solve for
:
First we gotta use an equation of motion:
Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!
Now we just need to solve for t:
