A certain juggler usually tosses balls vertically to a height H.To what height must they be tossed if they are to spend twice as much time in the air?
The range of a projectile depends not only on v0 and but also on the value g of the free-fall acceleration, which varies from place to place. In 1936, Jesse Owens established a world’s running broad jump record of 8.09 m at the Olympic Games at Berlin (where g 9.8128 m/s2). Assuming the same values of v0 and , by how much would his record have differed if he had competed instead in 1956 at Melbourne (where g = 9.7999 m/s2)?
A sniper atop a building 150m high fired a bullet parallel to the horizontal with a speed of 1800km/h. Assuming that the bullet will hit its target, what would be the resulting range?
A golfer wishes to chip a shot into the hole 50 m away on flat level ground. If the ball flies to amaximum height of 25 m, what speed must it have initially to reach the hole?
A stone is thrown from the top of a building upward at an angle of 30 degrees with respect of the horizontal, and with an intial speed of 20m/s. If the height of the building is 45 meters, how long is the stone in flight, how far does it land, and what is the speed just before impact?
A mountain climber jumps a crevasse of width W by leapinghorizontally with speed v0. (a) If the height difference betweenthe two sides of the crevasse is h, what is the minimum value ofv0 for the climber to land safely on the other side? (b) In this case,what is the climber’s direction of motion on landing?
The world long jump record is 8.95m. Treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range obtainable by a person if he has a take off speed of 9.5m/s? Assume the motion is on level ground and the angle is 45 degrees.
What is the horizontal distance covered by a shotput if it has an initial velocity of 23 m/s at an angle of 44 degrees relative to horizontal with an initial height of release of 2.2 meters?
A golf ball struck on earth rises to a maximum height of 60 m and hits the ground 230 m away. How high will the same golf ball travel on the moon if the magnitude and direction of its velocity are the same as they were on earth immediately after the ball was hit? Assume that the ball is hit and lands at the same elevation in both cases and that the effect of the atmosphere on the earth is neglected, so that the trajectory in both cases is a parabola. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 0.165 times that on earth.
A particle is projected with a velocity such that its range on the horizontal plane is twice the greatest height attained by it. The range of the projectile is (where g is acceleration due to gravity)
In a scene from an action movie, a stuntman jumps from the top of one building to the top of another building 4.0 m away. After a running start he leaps at a velocity of 5.0 m/s at an angle of 15 degrees with respect to the flat roof. Will he make it to the other roof, which is 2.5m shorter than the building he jumps from?
Imagine a firework has a fuse designed so that it explodes at the highest point of its trajectory, and it's launched with an initial speed of 60 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees to the horizontal. What height h it explodes at? (Answer in cm and round-off to the whole number.)
