If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.
A sailor drops a wrench from the top of a sailboats vertical mast while the boat is moving rapidly and steadily straight forward. Where will the wrench hit the deck? (a) ahead of the base of the mast (b) at the base of the mast (c) behind the base of the mast (d) on the windward side of the base of the mast (e) None of the choices (a) through (d) is true.
Which of the following statements are true of the time of flight for a projectile? List all that apply. The time that a projectile is in the air is dependent upon the horizontal component of the initial velocity. The time that a projectile is in the air is dependent upon the vertical component of the initial velocity. For a projectile which lands at the same height that it is projected from, the time to rise to the peak is equal to the time to fall from its peak to the original height. For the same upward launch angles, projectiles will stay in the air longer if the initial velocity is increased. Assume that a kicked ball in football is a projectile. If the ball takes 3 seconds to rise to the peak of its trajectory, then it will take 6 seconds to fall from the peak of its trajectory to the ground.
three situations in which identical projectiles are launched (at the same level) at identical initial speeds and angles. The projectiles do not land on the same terrain, however. Rank the situations according to the final speeds of the projectiles just before they land, greatest first.
A projectile was fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 20 m/s. The same projectile was fired a second time with the sane initial speed of 20 m/s but at a different angle such that the height attained by the projectile in the second launch is one half of the horizontal distance covered by the projectile in the first launch. At what angle was the projectile launched second time?
two marbles are released simultaneously from the same height. Marble A is dropped freely and marble B is projected horizontally. Which of the following statement is TRUE? A. Ball A will reach the ground first. B. Ball B will reach the ground first. C. Both balls will reach the ground on the same time. D. Which balls hits the ground first depends on the magnitude of the initial velocity of ball B.
One object is fired at an angle of ten degrees above the horizontal. A second object is fired at an angle of ten degrees below the horizontal, and a third is fired in an exactly horizontal direction. All three are fired at the same time, but with different (and nonzero) speeds. Neglect air resistance and assume that the objects are fired over a perfectly level plain. Which of the objects strikes the ground first? A. (a) The one fired at an angle of ten degrees above the horizontal. B. (b) The one fired at an angle of ten degrees below the horizontal. C. (c) The one fired exactly horizontally. D. (d) They will all strike the ground at the same time. E. (e) You cannot tell from the information given. F. (f) None of the answers above is correct.
Consider a projectile fired with an initial velocity perpendicular to an incline sloping downward at an angle α with respect to the horizontal. When it eventually lands on the incline, let its velocity make an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. Obtain the (a) angle θ, (b) the value of α that yields the minimum value of θ, and (c) the corresponding value of this minimum θ. (d) If a rock is thrown at the top of the same incline, what angle θ from the horizontal should rock be thrown so that it has the greatest range?
On a horizontally launched projectile, how does the horizontal displacement of the projectile changes alongside with its vertical displacement?
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?
A projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to four times its maximum height. The angle at which the projectile is fired is equal to A.) 45o B.) 55o C.) 51o D.) 75o
If you double the initial speed of a projectile, what happens to that projectiles range? Assume that the projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched
