One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then, while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 25.0 m/s. The first is thrown at an angle of 70.0 with respect to the horizontal. (a) At what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first? (b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first for both to arrive at the same time?
A projectile is fired vertically from point A with an initial speed of 215 ft/sec. Relative to an observer located at B, at what times (find two times t1 < t2) will the line of sight to the projectile make an angle of 23° with the horizontal? Compute the magnitude of the speed of the projectile at each time, and ignore the effect of aerodynamic drag on the projectile. Calculate the height h when the projectile is at point C.
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.435 m above his mouth. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? Assume vfy = 0.
A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 5.9 m/sm/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the water land 2.5 mm away? Express your answer(s) in degrees to two significant figures. If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.
A swimmer heads directly across a river, swimming at 1.10 m/s relative to still water. He arrives at a point 50.0 m downstream from the point directly across the river, which is 75.0 m wide. What is the speed of the river current?What is the swimmer's speed relative to the shore? In what direction should the swimmer head so as to arrive at the point directly opposite his starting point? Express your answer in terms of the angle with respect to a line drawn directly across the river.
A small, experimental aluminum airplane leaves its classified location on a foggy and overcast day, and flies at 198 km/h (= 55.0 m/s), at a constant height h of 500 m, toward a point directly over a victim of a bizarre, classified experiment, floating in a remote mountain lake, where a rescue capsule is to land. (a) What should be the angle φ of the alien pilot’s line of sight to the victim when the capsule release is made? (b) As the capsule reaches the water, what is its velocity ⃗v?
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? (In degrees)
A military cargo plane is passing over a remote area of wilderness where it cannot make a safe landing. instead of landing the cargo it's dropped. The plane is flying at 284m/s horizontally at an altitude of 584m. How far out in front of the landing target should the cargo be let out the back of the plane?
A pirate ship is 506 m away from a fort that is being defended by artillery that is sea level. The defensive cannon is capable of firing a cannon ball at 95 m/s. At what angle(s) above horizontal can the cannon fire the cannon ball so that it will hit the pirate ship?
A projectile is Fİred with a speed v0 due south from a gun located at a latitude THETA in thenorthern hemisphere on the earth's surface. The initial angle that the projectile makeswith the horizontal is BETA . Find the correction to the point of impact due to the Coriolisforce.
A boat crosses a river of width 225 m in whichthe current has a uniform speed of 1.35 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.92 m/s relative to the water.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a stationary shore observer?Answer in units of m/s. How far downstream from the initial positionis the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?Answer in units of m
The high noon sun shines straight down on an airplane that is climbing through the atmosphere at an angle of 8.0° from horizontal. The plane's climb rate is 750 meters per minute. This the rate at which its altitude increases. (a) What is the speed of the airplane? (b) What is the speed of the plane's shadow crossing the flat desert below?
