A baseball is thrown from an outfielder to the second baseman on a level field. Theball is in the air for a time At = 3.50 s and travels a horizontal distance of 92.0 m%3Dbefore being caught at the same height it was thrown from. Ignore air resistance.a) What are the x- and y-components of the ball's initial velocity?b) What is the maximum height of the ball?c) When is the ball traveling at an angle of 0 = -26.0°?

a) R = ux×∆t ux = R/∆t = 92/3.5 = 26.28 m/s ∆t = 2uy/g uy = ∆tg/2 = (3.5×9.8/2) = 17.15 m/s b)…

A person standing at the top of a hemispherical rock of radius R kicks a ball (initially at rest on the top of the rock) to give it horizontal velocity vi as shown in Figure P3.56. (a) What must be its minimum initial speed if the ball is never to hit the rock after it is kicked? (b) With this initial speed, how far from the base of the rock does the ball hit the ground?
A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory?

In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A marble is launched from the edge of a table at a angle of 45 ° up from horizontal and goes through the air until it hits the floor. True or False? For such a marble, |vy| (the magnitude of the y-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne. Group of answer choices
A marble is launched from the edge of a table at a angle of 45 ° up from horizontal and goes through the air until it hits the floor. True or False? For such a marble, |vx| (the magnitude of the x-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne.
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
For women’s volleyball the top of the net is 2.24 m above the floor and the court measures 9.0 m by 9.0 m on each side of the net. Using a jump serve, a player strikes the ball at a point that is 3.0 m above the floor and a horizontal distance of 8.0 m from the net. If the initial velocity of the ball is horizontal, (a) what minimum magnitude must it have if the ball is to clear the net and (b) what maximum magnitude can it have if the ball is to strike the floor inside the back line on the other side of the net?
A projectile is launched with a launch angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal direction and with an initial speed of 26 m/s. How do the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity vary with time?The initial velocity in the x-direction vx0 is related to the initial speed by vx0 = v0 cos 30°. The constant velocity in the x-direction means that the equation describing the time dependence of x for the particle, with x0 taken as 0, is x = x0 + vx0t = 0 + m/s t. The equation for the vertical coordinate, which is constantly accelerating downward at g = 9.8 m/s2, is y = y0 + vy0t − 1 2 gt2 = m/s t + m/s2 t2.

(i) The velocity vector of the ball just as it hits the ground.
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
Dylan and Sophia are walking along Bluebird Lake on a perfectly calm day. Dylan, determined to impress Sophia by his ability to skip rocks, picks up the flattest rock he can find and gives it a sidearm launch from the edge of the water. The rock acquires a completely horizontal speed of 27.2 m/s from a height of 0.54 meters above the water surface. How much time does it take to hit the surface of the water?
