Suppose a cannon, placed on a moving cart with negligible friction in the wheel bearings, projects a cannonball straight up in the air. What would be the horizontal velocity of the ball relative to the rider of the cart?
A baseball is thrown from a right fielder to the catcher at home plate with a speed of 42 m/s at an angle of 17° above the horizontal. If it is caught at the same level, how far away is the right fielder from the catcher at home plate?
If there is a person on a cliff that is 200m above the beach and launches a ball from a cannon at 45 degrees to a person, how far is that person from the base of the cliff? The velocity of the muzzle is 50m/s and friction can be ignored.
If the stone had been thrown front the cliff too with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would it’s impact velocity be different?
A ball of mass 100 g, projected at an angle of 25° from the ground with an initial velocity of 12 m/s, what is the maximum height attained?
Compute for the initial velocity of a projectile launched at 30 degrees with a range of 25m. If the projectile is launched to achieve its maximum range with the same launching velocity, what would be the value of its maximum range?
In one contest at the county fair, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.1 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20∘ angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.20 m away. At what angle θ should you tilt the ball launcher?
A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest elevation angles at which he can kick the ball to score a field goal from a point 50.0 m in front of goalposts whose horizontal bar is 3.44 m above the ground? When doing this, you may want to research some trig identities to get a formula involving only tangent functions. Also, since there are two values of angle that will work, maybe the quadratic formula is involved.
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
A projectile is fired from point A with an initial velocity v0. (a) Show that the radius of curvature of the trajectory of the projectile reaches its minimum value at the highest point B of the trajectory. (b) Denoting by 0 the angle formed by the trajectory and the horizontal at a given point C , show that the radius of curvature of the trajectory at C is p =pmin/cos3 0.
