a rescue plane flies at 198 km/h (= 55.0 m/s) and constant height h = 500 m toward a point directly over a victim, where a rescue capsule is to land. (a) What should be the angle f of the pilot’s line of sight to the victim when the capsule release is made?
Coast Guard rescue swimmers are trained toleap from helicopters into the sea to save boaters in distress. Therescuers like to step off their helicopter when it is “ten and ten,”which means that it is ten feet above the water and moving forward horizontally at ten knots. What are (a) the speed and (b) thedirection of motion as a rescue swimmer enters the water following a ten and ten jump?
A 2.54m tall tennis player is 11.72m away from the net of 0.90m inheight. If the ball clears a height of 0.15m above the net and the player strikes theball horizontally from his initial position, determine: a. velovity of a ball b. the distance measured from the net where the ball hits the other side of the court
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speedof 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of3.00 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How fardoes the bomb travel horizontally between its release and itsimpact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitatesthe bombardier before he can call, “Bombs away!”Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane’s originalcourse, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Whereis the plane relative to the bomb’s point of impact when thebomb hits the ground? (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsightset so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight atthe moment of release. At what angle from the vertical wasthe bombsight set?
A basketball player is standing on the floor 14.0 m away from the basket. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and heshoots the ball at 49.0° with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. At what speed must the player shoot the ball so thatit goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
A gun fires a shell with a velocity of 600 m/sec at an angle of 45°with the horizontal. Neglecting ail' resistance, (a) determine the range of thisgun, (b) determine the maximum height reached by the shell, and (c) determinethe time of flight of this shell on level ground.
When a projectile is fired with a velocity of 815 m/s at an angle of 37º above the horizontal, the maximum height reached by the projectile is what?
A cargo plane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 11.6 km with a speed of 870 km/h when a battle tank falls out ofthe loading ramp. How far horizontally is the tank from where it fell off when it hits the ground assuming that the planecontinues to fly with constant velocity? Ans. _____km??
A target lies a distance R = 1100 m from a cannon across level ground, and a distance d = 780 m behind a wall h = 400 m tall. If the cannon shoots projectiles with speed 160 m/s, at what angle should the cannon fire so as to hit the target over the wall?
A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 40m/s at an angle of elevation, ϴ = 30.0°. At t = 1.5 sec, Determine:a. The horizontal vertical component of velocityb. The magnitude and direction of the velocityc. The corresponding horizontal distance at the highest pointd. The maximum height to which the projectile risese. Time for the projectile to reach the same level as it was fired f. The range the projectile traveledg. Suppose that the projectile is a baseball batted, a midfielder is on the 150m distance from the batter, what will be his velocity to be able to catch the ball?
A quarterback passes the football downfield at 19.0 m/s. It leaves his hand 1.70 m above the ground and is caught by a receiver 36.0 m away at the same height. What is the maximum height of the ball on its way to the receiver? so y0 = 1.7m x(t) = 36m , i guess i will need angle and t to get the answer, but i have no idea how to find them
(II) A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/sat an angle of 42.2° above the horizontal on a long flatfiring range. Determine (a) the maximum height reachedby the projectile, (b) the total time in the air, (c) the totalhorizontal distance covered (that is, the range), and (d) thespeed of the projectile 1.50 s after firing.
