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 truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P3.48). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon leaves the hood of the truck with an initial speed vi = 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola, with its vertex at the initial location of the projected watermelon and with the equation y2 = 16x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?
You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still air in the direction 35.0 south of west. (a) Find the distances you would have to fly due south and then due west to arrive at the same point. (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0south of west and then in a direction 45.0 west of north. Note these are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes-namely, the one rotated by 45 with respect to the axes in (a).
A golfer tees off from a location precisely at i = 35.0 north latitude. He hits the ball due south, with range 285 m. The balls initial velocity is at 48.0 above the horizontal. Suppose air resistance is negligible for the golf ball. (a) For how long is the ball in flight? The cup is due south of the golfers location, and the golfer would have a hole-in-one if the Earth were not rotating. The Earths rotation makes the tee move in a circle of radius RE cos i = (6.37 106 m) cos 35.0 as shown in Figure P6.47. The tee completes one revolution each day. (b) Find the eastward speed of the tee relative to the stars. The hole is also moving cast, but it is 285 m farther south and thus at a slightly lower latitude f. Because the hole moves in a slightly larger circle, its speed must he greater than that of the tee. (c) By how much does the holes speed exceed that of the tee? During the time interval the ball is in flight, it moves upward and downward as well as southward with the projectile motion you studied in Chapter 4, but it also moves eastward with the speed you found in part (b). The hole moves to the east at a faster speed, however, pulling ahead of the ball with the relative speed you found in part (c). (d) How far to the west of the hole does the ball land? Figure P6.47
A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125 m above ground level with an initial speed of 105 m/s at an angle of 37º with the horizontal. (a) Determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground. (b) Determine the range of the projectile as measured from the base of the cliff. At the instant just before the projectile hits the ground, find (c) the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, (d) the magnitude of the velocity, and (e) the angle made by the velocity vector with the horizontal.
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?
A batter hots a ball, giving it a velocity of 100 ft/s at 40 degree angle to the horizontal. One second after the ball is hit, a fielder standing in the direct path of the ball at a distance of 250 ft starts running after the ball at a constant speed. How fast must be run to catch the ball?The answer is 18.7ft/s
An electronic is projected as shown in the figure with an initial speed of Vo = 5.83x106 m / s and at an angle of θ = 39.0, E = 1870 N / C (directed upwards), d = 1.97 cm and L = 6.20 cm. A) Does the upper or lower plate hit? Hint: determine the maximum height it reaches, if it is> d, it hits the upper one, if it is <d, it hits the lower one b) At what horizontal distance from the launch point does it hit the plate?
A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.

A projectile fired is fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at an angle of 42.2o above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine (a) the maximum height reached by the projectile, (b) the total time in the air, (c) the total horizontal distance covered (that is, the range), and (d) the speed of the projectile 1.50 s after firing
Consider a projectile launched with an initial velocity of 25.2m/s at an angle of θ0=30.9∘ above horizontal from level ground. After traveling a horizontal distance d=37.1m, it strikes a high cliff at a height hh above the original launch height. The impact angle, θ, may be above or below horizontal, depending upon whether or not the projectile has passed the apex of its flight. Use the Cartesian coordinate system provided in the drawing with the origin at the initial position of the projectile. Assume that air resistance is negligible. Part (d) What is the impact angle, in degrees measured counterclockwise from positive x, at which the projectile strikes the cliff? Your answer will satisfy θ∈(−90∘,90∘)
