A fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit)

Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance, with the initial angle being neither 0 nor 90 : (a) Is the acceleration ever zero? (b) Is the vector v ever parallel or antiparallel to the vector a? (c) Is the vector v ever perpendicular to the vector a? If so, where is this located?
A hollow plastic ball is projected into the air. There is significant air resistance opposing the ball’s motion, so the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration is not equal to g. At time t, the ball is moving up and to the right at an angle of 45° to the horizontal, as shown above. Which of the following best shows the magnitude a and the direction of the ball’s acceleration at time t? a C b A c B d D
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?
A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity i = (4.00 î + 1.00 ĵ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is i = (12.0 î − 2.60 ĵ) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 15.0 s, its velocity is = (25.0 î − 1.00 ĵ) m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish? ax = ay = (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector î? Draw coordinate axes on a separate piece of paper, and then add the acceleration vector with its tail at the origin. Write the numerical values for the x and y components and then use this drawing to determine the angle.° counterclockwise from the +x-axis(c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t = 28.0 s? x = m y = m In what direction is it moving? ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
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?
a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 10.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.0° 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?
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.
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?
*Draw a simple diagram representation for the solution.In a game war, one team sets base on a cliff 15m high and 60m away from the opponent’s base. At what velocity must the attack be launched so that the lower base will be hit? The initial launch is at 20 degrees below the horizontal?
A particle moves in a circular path according to the clockwise equation θ(t)=π/4+3t+2t2, where θ is the angle between the particle's position vector and the x axis, oriented positively counterclockwise. θ is measured in radians and t in seconds.
