Question
A golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 3.30 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 17.0 m/s at an angle of 46.0˚ above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.

- Problem 10: While watching the clouds pass by, you notice a European swallow flying horizontally at a height of h = 21.95 m. When the swallow is directly overhead, it drops an m = 10.5 kg coconut. Refer to the diagram. From your ornithological studies, you know that the air-speed of this particular species of swallow, while carrying such a load, is vo = 6.93 m/s. Neglect air resistance. Assume that your head is at the origin of the coordinate system. Part (a) Calculate the magnitude, in kilogram squared meters per second, of the angular momentum of the coconut, as observed by you, at the moment it is released directly overhead. L = 1597.19 L= 1597 V Correct! Part (b) Let 7 be the time-dependent position vector of the coconut with time measured from the instant it was released by the swallow. Enter an expression for its horizontal component as a function of time. r(1) = vot v Correct!

- A golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 2.60 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 17.3 m/s at an angle of 52.0° above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.arrow_forwardAt a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 8.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m. A diver runs horizontally along the diving board with a speed of v0 = 4.2 m/s and then falls into the pool. Neglect air resistance. Use a coordinate system with the horizontal x-axis pointing in the direction of the diver’s initial motion, and the vertical y-axis pointing up. Determine the horizontal distance, dw in meters, from the edge of the pool to where the diver enters the water.arrow_forwardA block (mass = 5.56 kg) is released from rest at the top of a frictionless ramp. 1.01 seconds after release, the block has a speed of 6.34 m/s.

- Two snowy peaks are at heights H = 800 m and h = 740 m above the valley between them. A ski run extends between the peaks, with a total length of 2.91 km and an average slope of 0 = 32° (see the figure). (a) A skier starts from rest at the top of the higher peak. At what speed will he arrive at the top of the lower peak if he coasts without using ski poles? Ignore friction.

- A skier leaves a ski jump at 16.0 m/s at some angle ?. At what speed is he traveling at his maximum height of 4.16 m above the level of the end of the ski jump? (Neglect air friction.)arrow_forwardAn archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, what is the speed of the arrow when it reaches the target?arrow_forwardMy question is: A student fires a cannonball diagonally with a speed of 24.0m/s from a height of 43.0m as shown. Neglect drag. Determine all unknowns and answer the following questions. I found that the ball rose for 2.3 seconds, its maximum height is 68.9, the ball remained in the air for an overall time of 6.05 seconds, and finally, it landed 49.6 meters from the base of the building. How fast the ball was moving when it struck the ground, and how do I find what horizontal angle it landed at? Can you also tell me the process of getting those two answers? Thank you!arrow_forward
