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 the edge of a 180-m cliff with an initial velocity of 150 m/s at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance from the gun to the point where the projectile strikes the ground. 3100 m 2260 m 3160 m 2200 m
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
