A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 20.0 below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 3.00 s later. (a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? Find the height from which the ball was thrown. How long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching?
A placekicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Hall the crowd hopes he ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 53.0 to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar? (b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling?
A projectile is fired up an incline (incline angle ) with an initial speed vi at an angle i with respect to the horizontal (i ) as shown in Figure P4.50. (a) Show that the projectile travels a distance d up the incline, where d=2vi2cosisin(i)gcos2 (b) For what value of 0i is d a maximum, and what is that maximum value? Figure P4.50
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45 to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m- high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?
A projectile is fired from the top of a cliff of height h above the ocean below. The projectile is fired at an angle above the horizontal and with an initial speed vi. (a) Find a symbolic expression in terms of the variables vi, g, and for the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. (b) Using the result of part (a), find an expression for the maximum height hmax above the ocean attained by the projectile in terms of h, vi, g, and .
A placekicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 53.0 to the horizontal, (a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar? (b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling?
A projectile is launched with speed v0 at an angle 0 above the horizon. Its motion is described in terms of position, velocity, and acceleration: x, y, vx, vy, ax, ay, respectively, (a) Which of those quantities are constant during the motion? (b) Which are equal to zero throughout the motion? Ignore any effects of air resistance.
A basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (a) What vertical velocity does he need to rise 0.750 m above the floor? (b) How far from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.)
A golf ball with an initial speed of 50.0 m/s lands exactly 240 m downrange on a level course, (a) Neglecting air friction, what two projection angles would achieve this result? (b) What is the maximum height reached by the ball, using the two angles determined in part (a)?
A ball is thrown straight upward and returns to the throwers hand after 3.00 s in the air. A second ball thrown at an angle of 30.0 with the horizontal reaches the same maximum height as the first ball, (a) At what speed was the first ball thrown? (b) At what speed was the second ball thrown?
