Peter throws a baseball through a houses window. He stands 3.4 m from the window. The ball starts in his hand 1.1m above the ground and goes through the window at a point 2.4 m off the ground. a. Sketch the problem, including an xy coordinate system with the origin on the ground directly below the initial position of the ball, the y axis pointing upward, and the x axis pointing toward the house. b. What are the initial and final coordinates of the ball?
An object rolls off a tabletop with a horizontal velocity v0x = 18 m/s. The table is at a height y0 = 1.2 m, above the floor. Use a coordinate system with its origin on the floor directly beneath the point where the object rolls off the table, its horizontal x-axis lying directly beneath the object’s trajectory, and its vertical y-axis pointing up. What is the vertical component of velocity, in meters per second, when the object hits the ground?
An object rolls off a tabletop with a horizontal velocity v0x = 18 m/s. The table is at a height y0 = 1.2 m, above the floor. Use a coordinate system with its origin on the floor directly beneath the point where the object rolls off the table, its horizontal x-axis lying directly beneath the object’s trajectory, and its vertical y-axis pointing up. What is the magnitude of the velocity (its speed) when it hits the floor?
An object rolls off a tabletop with a horizontal velocity v0x = 18 m/s. The table is at a height y0 = 0.75 m, above the floor. Use a coordinate system with its origin on the floor directly beneath the point where the object rolls off the table, its horizontal x-axis lying directly beneath the object’s trajectory, and its vertical y-axis pointing up. What's the horizontal distance, in meters, from the edge of the tabletop to where the object lands?
A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 680 m/s. The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's-eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.023 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's-eye?
A plane is travelling horizontally at 1500 km/h. A rocket is fired horizontally ahead from the plane at an angle of 6.0o from the direction of the plane and with a velocity of 2000 km/h. What is the resultant velocity of the rocket?
A boy is standing on a train which is moving at a constant velocity of 20.0 m/s relative to the Earth (vt/e). He throws a rock horizontally in the same direction of the moving train at a velocity of 30.0 m/s relative to the train ( vr/t). The rock is a y distance 2.41 m above the ground when it is released. Is the path of the rock relative to the ground was a parabola? What equation describes the horizon velocity of the rock? What was the horizontal velocity of the rock relative to earth? How long was the rock in flight? How far did the rock travel in the horizontal direction when it hit the ground?
A helicopter blade spins at exactly 110 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 9.5 m from the center of rotation. A. What is the average speed of the blade tip in the helicopter's frame of reference, in meters per second? B. What is the average velocity over one revolution, in meters per second?
A projectile is launched horizontally from a high cliff on a planet where g=6 m/s2 and lands on the ground below. The launch speed of the projectile is 30 m/s and the cliff is 40m above the ground. what horizontal distance does the projectile travel before hitting the ground? what are the x and y values of the velocity at impact? What is the v speed of the projectile at impact?
7. You launch a projectile at an initial speed of 41.2 m/s from the ground. After 5.40 seconds of flight, the projectile lands on the ground. At what angle above the horizontal was the projectile launched? 30.0 degrees 40.0 degrees 60.0 degrees 28.6 degrees
A diver initially moving horizontally with speed v dives off the edge of a vertical cliff and lands in the water a distance d from the base of the cliff. How far from the base of the cliff would the diver have landed if the diver initially had been moving horizontally with speed 2v?
A batter hits a pitched ball when the center of the ball is 1.30 m above the ground.The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 45° with the ground. With that launch, the ball should have a horizontal range (returning to the launch level) of 103 m. (a) Does the ball clear a 8.92-m-high fence that is 93.0 m horizontally from the launch point? (b) At the fence, what is the distance between the fence top and the ball center?
