Chapter 1.3, Problem 1aT
Draw vectors on your diagram that represent the instantaneous velocity of the ball at each of the labeled locations. If the velocity is zero at any point, indicate that explicitly. Explain why you drew the vectors as you did.
We will call diagrams like the one you drew above velocity diagrams. Unless otherwise specified, a velocity diagram shows both the location and the velocity of an object at instants in time that are separated by equal time intervals.

How did velocity (v) and velocity squared (v2) relate to the height from which the ball was released? Use the relationships from your graphs in your explanation. Which one, if any, was linearly related to the height?
How will you determine the muzzle velocity of the projectile launcher? Briefly state what you will measure and how that is used (include an equation) to find the muzzle velocity. (I.e., Explain procedure part A and state your result from step A.4)
A golfer hits a golf ball from the ground with an initial speed of 42 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal. The ball hits the ground on the fairway, at a height 1.75 m below its initial height. Please answer all of the following questions regarding this scenario and show your work:
1. How far away does the golf ball hit the ground?
2. What is the velocity of the golf ball the moment before it hits the ground? Give your answer in terms of its speed and the angle it makes with the horizontal.
