10 m\s 50 m 25 m\s 37° A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 37'with the horizontal. At the same instant at a distance d away, a second ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s from a height of 50 m. A) At what height will they hit each other? B) Find the distance d. C) When they hit each other, the balls stick together. The mass of the first ball is 2 kg and the mass of the second one is 3 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the combined ball.

A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P3.48). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon leaves the hood of the truck with an initial speed vi = 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola, with its vertex at the initial location of the projected watermelon and with the equation y2 = 16x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?
A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a hillside 4.00 s later. Neglect air friction, (a) What is the projectiles velocity at the highest point of its trajectory? (b) What is the straight-line distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target?
A projectile is fired up an incline (incline angle ) with an initial speed vi at an angle i with respect to the horizontal (i ) as shown in Figure P4.50. (a) Show that the projectile travels a distance d up the incline, where d=2vi2cosisin(i)gcos2 (b) For what value of 0i is d a maximum, and what is that maximum value? Figure P4.50
By throwing a ball at an angle of 45, a girl can throw the ball a maximum horizontal distance R on a level field. How far can she throw the tame ball vertically upward? Assume her muscles give the ball the same speed in each case. (Is this assumption valid?)
A placekicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Hall the crowd hopes he ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 53.0 to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar? (b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling?
A ball is thrown straight upward and returns to the throwers hand after 3.00 s in the air. A second ball thrown at an angle of 30.0 with the horizontal reaches the same maximum height as the first ball, (a) At what speed was the first ball thrown? (b) At what speed was the second ball thrown?
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45 to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m- high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?
Suppose a pilot flies 40.0 km in a direction 60° north of east and then flies 30.0 km in a direction 150° north of east as shown in Figure 3.63. Find her total distance R from the starting point and the direction of the straight-line path to the final position. Discuss qualitatively how this flight would be altered by a wind from the north and how the effect of the wind would depend on both wind speed and the speed of the plane relative to the air mass.
A dart gun is fired while being held horizontally at a height of 1.00 m above ground level and while it is at rest relative to the ground. The dart from the gun travels a horizontal distance of 5.00 m. A college student holds the same gun in a horizontal position while sliding down a 45.0 incline at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s. How far w ill the dart travel if the student fires the gun when it is 1.00 m above the ground?
You throw a baseball at an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30 with respect to the horizontal. What would the ball’s initial speed have to be at 30 on a planet that has twice the acceleration of gravity as Earth to achieve the same range? Consider launch and impact on a horizontal surface.
A farm truck travels due east with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s along a horizontal road. A boy riding in the back of the truck tosses a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.40) and catches it at the same location in the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. Ignore any effects of air resistance. (a) At what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can, relative to the moving truck? (b) What is the cans initial speed relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the cans trajectory as seen by the boy? (d) What is the shape of the cans trajectory as seen by a stationary observer on the ground? (e) What is the initial velocity of the can, relative to the stationary observer? Figure P3.40
A fireworks rocket explodes at height h, the peak of its vertical trajectory. It throws out burning fragments in all directions, but all at the same speed v. Pellets of solidified metal fall to the ground without air resistance. Find the smallest angle that the final velocity of an impacting fragment makes with the horizontal.
