A computer-controlled ball launcher on a ledge at height h = 6 m above level ground ejects a ball at initial speed v0 = 7.7 m/s at an angle of θ1 = 35 degrees above the horizontal. The computer then commands the launcher to change its launch angle to a specific value θ2 below the horizontal, and to launch a second ball exactly 1.00 seconds after the first ball at a different speed from the first one. Assume the balls are launched from the same height, move in the same plane, and that air resistance can be ignored. The launch of the second ball is arranged such that the second ball collides with the first ball at a height h/2 above the level ground. This requires the second ball to have a specific initial speed and launch angle. What is the required launch angle, recalling that an angle below horizontal is negative?

A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?
In the figure, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 6.00 m/s, at an angle of 44.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 = 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. (a) Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle of its displacement from the launch point?
In the figure, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 7.00 m/s, at an angle of 41.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 = 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the magnitude and angle of its displacement from the launch point?
A pilot flies horizontally at 1300 km/h, at height h = 35 m above initially level ground. However, at time t = 0, the pilot begins to fly over ground sloping upward at angle u = 4.3°. If the pilot does not change the airplane’s heading, at what time t does the plane strike the ground?
A cannon launches a cannonball from level ground with an initial speed of 80 m/s at an angle of 280 above the horizontal. What horizontal distance does the cannonball travel when the cannonball returns to the ground? Given the same initial velocity of launch, at what other angle above the ground can the cannonball be fired and achieve the same horizontal range as before? (Assume that g = 9.81 m/s2.) a. Range = 540 m, and angle = 420 above the horizontal b. Range = 600 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal c. Range = 270 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal d.

Consider a projectile launched form ground level at an angle of elevation with an initial velocity . The maximum horizontal range is given by xmax=(v 2/0 sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the problem: If a soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 28 m/sec, what is the smallest positive angle at which the player should kick the ball to reach a teammate 48m down the field? Assume that the ball reaches the teammate at ground level on the fly. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
A game requires that two children each throw a ball upward as high as possible from point O and then run horizontally in opposite directions away from O. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground wins. If child A throws a ball upward with a speed of v1 = 59 ft/sec and immediately runs leftward at a constant speed of vA = 14 ft/sec while child B throws the ball upward with a speed of v2 = 56 ft/sec and immediately runs rightward with a constant speed of vB = 16 ft/sec, which child will win the game? Calculate the distances sA and sB that each child travels while the respective ball is in the air.
Miltiadis Tentoglou is the current Olympic gold medalist for the running long jump. In one of Miltiadis’ practices, he insanely attempts to jump five people who are laid out on the ground in single file from head to toe. Each of the five individuals are 1.7 meters in height and when Miltiadis launches off the ground his initial resultant velocity is directed 20 degrees above the horizon and the horizontal component of this resultant velocity is 10 m/s. In executing the jump, Miltiadis’ center of mass drops 0.6 meters vertically from the instant of takeoff to the instant of landing. Calculate Miltiadis’ a) initial and final vertical velocities in m/s, b) initial and final resultant velocity magnitudes in m/s, c) total time in the air in seconds and d) how far he was able to jump horizontally in meters. e) How many centimeters of clearance did Miltiadis have on both sides of the jump when jumping the five individuals (assume the clearance distance is the same on both sides of the…
A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 154 feet and explode at an apex of 191 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle θ = 56° above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed v0 for the shells, the separation distance d between the launch points A and B, and the time t from the launch at which the shells explode.
