A long jumper has a goal of jumping 8.9 meters. They are in the air for a total of 1.89 seconds. They have a projection angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. Assume that they are NOT starting and landing from the same height. What resultant velocity must they create to make this jump successful?
7.) A ball is projected horizontally at an angle of 30.0 degrees (based on horizontal) from the edge of a cliff, with an initial speed of 62.0 m/s. Height of cliff is 135 m. How far (m) from the base of the cliff will the ball land on the level ground
3. A horizontally launched projectile lands 83.04m below the launch point and a horizontal distance of 119.69m from the launch point. What was its initial velocity? 31.2ms 20.838ms 24.179ms 29.37ms None of these is correct.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor-league game. The ball traveled 188 m (618 ft ) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. Assuming that the ball's initial velocity was 45∘ above the horizontal, and ignoring air resistance, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 1.0 m (3.3 ft ) above ground level? Assume that the ground was perfectly flat.
A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100. m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.
Prove that the trajectory of a projectile is parabolic, having the form y=ax+bx2. To obtain this expression, solve the equation x=v0xt for t and substitute it into the expression for y=v0yt(1/2)gt2 (These equations describe the x and y positions of a projectile that starts at the origin.) You should obtain an equation of the form y=ax+bx2 where a and b are constants.

A catapult launches a rocket at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 m/s. The rocket engine immediately starts a burn, and for 3.00 s the rocket moves along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. Then its engine fails, and the rocket proceeds to move in free fall. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.
A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21.0 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 35.0 to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the initial speed of the ball, (b) the time it takes the ball to reach the wall, and (c) the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall. (Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.00 m above the ground.)
Give an example of a trajectory in two or three dimensions caused by independent perpendicular motions.

A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.00 m above the street below (Fig. P3.19). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.00 m high, to form a 1-m-high railing around the play-ground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of = 53.0 above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall, (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands.
