22. Matt shoots the ball with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 53° above the hori- zontal. Three seconds later, the ball swooshes through the hoop. His friend, Mo, is waiting directly under the basket. In the questions that follow, you may neglect air resistance and assume that g = 10 m/s². %3D 20 m/s 53° Matt Note: Picture not drawn to scale. Мо a) Find the components of the initial velocity vector 7. b) How far is Matt from Mo when he shoots the ball? c) What is the y-component of the ball's velocity (v,f) when it goes through the hoop? d) What is the speed of the ball when it goes through the hoop?

Johnny is standing on a ladder picking apples in his grandfather’s orchard. As he pulls each apple off the tree, he tosses it into a basket that sits on the ground 3.0 m below at a horizontal distance of 2.0 m from him. How fast must Johnny throw the apple (horizontally) in order for them to land in the basket?
You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. Unfortunately the archer stands on an elevated platform of unknown height. However, you find the arrow stuck in the ground 56.0 m away, making a 2.00 ∘ angle with the ground. How fast was the arrow shot?
Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.0 m/s at a height 1.6 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
A child is practicing for a BMX race. His speed remains constant as he goes counterclockwise around a level track with two nearly straight sections and two nearly semicircular sections, as shown in the aerial view of Figure CQ7.12. (a) What are the directions of his velocity at points A, B, and C? For each point, choose one: north, south, east, west, or nonexistent, (b) What are the directions of his acceleration at points A, B, and C? Figure CQ7.12
A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed i. At the same time, a second student drops a lighter blue ball from the balcony. Neglecting air resistance, which statement is true? (a) The blue ball reaches the ground first. (b) The balls reach the ground at the same instant. (c) The red ball reaches the ground first. (d) Both balls hit the ground with the same speed. (e) None of statements (a) through (d) is true.
A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18.0 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in Figure P3.7. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? (c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time, (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in Figure P3.7. (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? Figure P3.7
A girl, moving at 8 m/s on in-line skates, is overtaking a boy moving at 5 m/s as they both skate on a straight path. The boy losses a ball backward toward the girl, giving it speed 12 m/s relative to him. What is the speed of the ball relative to the girl, who catches it? (a) (8 + 5 + 12) m/s (b) (8 - 5 - 12) m/s (c) (8 + 5 - 12) m/s (d) (8 5 + 12) m/s (e) (8 + 5 + 12) m/s
The Vomit Comet. In microgravity astronaut training and equipment testing, NASA flies a KC135A aircraft along a parabolic flight path. As shown in Figure P3.45, the aircraft climbs from 24 000 ft to 31 000 ft, where it enters a parabolic path with a velocity of 143 m/s nose high at 45.0 and exits with velocity 143 m/s at 45.0 nose low. During this portion of the flight, the aircraft and objects inside its padded cabin are in free fall; astronauts and equipment float freely as if there were no gravity. What are the aircrafts (a) speed and (b) altitude at the top of the maneuver? (c) What is the time interval spent in microgravity?
An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in Figure P3.50, but that the balls speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce. (a) Assume the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed and ignore air resistance. At what angle should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 45.0 with no bounce (green path)? (b) Determine the ratio of the time interval for the one-bounce throw to the flight time for the no-bounce throw.
an object moves along the x axis as shown in the following figure at which point or points is the magnitude of its velocity at a minimum? explain your answer.
A person stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a pebble horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 20.0 m/s. The pebble leaves his hand at a height of h = 52.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the pebble leaves the hand.
Kawhi Leonard is taking a free throw to win the NBA championship. He releases the ball from a height of 2.2m with an initial velocity at 55° above the horizontal axis. The basket is 4.6m in front of him, and the ball must pass through the hoop at a height of exactly 3m. (Please include a diagram). a) What initial speed must the ball be thrown at to get it in the hoop? b) What is the peak height reached by the basketball (relative to the floor)?
