- A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 71.6-m building and lands 147 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. How long is the ball in the air?

Someone gets the bright idea to jump from the roof of the house into the deep end of the pool. a) If the roof of the house is 16 ft tall and the horizontal distance between the edge of the house and the pool is 10 ft, what would the jumper's minimum velocity need to be to land in the pool? b) Let's assume your friend can jump with an initial horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s. What is their total velocity when they hit the water?

- 1. A physics book slides off a horizontal table top with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350 s. Ignore air resistance. Find (a) the height of the table top above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book’s velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor. (d) Draw x-t, y-t, and graphs for the motion.arrow_forward6. A crazy, young boy on a sled is able to get up to an incredible speed of 22.5 m/s (yes, he is wearing a helmet!) along a frictionless horizontal surface while he approaches an icy hill with a vertical height of 11 m, as shown. He makes it to the top, and then flies off horizontally from the ledge of the hill. How far from the base of the hill does the boy land? 225 mis Figure 1arrow_forwardA ball is suspended from a light 1.3 m string . The string makes an angle of 24 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?arrow_forward

Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.00 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it.
