A rookie quarterback throws a football with an initial upward ve- locity component of 12.0 m/s and a horizontal veloicty component of 20.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. a) How much time is required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory? b) How high is this point? c) How much time (after it is thrown) is required for the football to return to the original level? d) How does this compare with the time calculated in part a)?

A soccer ball is kicked from the playing field at a 45° angle. If the ball is in the air for 4.2 seconds, what is the maximum height achieved during its flight (ignoring air resistance)? (**HINT** - you may have to find initial vertical velocity to solve.) The maximum height achieved is?
Hunter kicks a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at 30o above the horizontal. Which of the following describes the horizontal component of the ball’s velocity? a It is zero b It is 25 m/s c It changes uniformly d It remains constant during the ball’s flight
A ball is thrown with an initial speed of 20 ?/? from one end of a horizontal platform with a length of 48 ? and a height of 32 ? at angle of 37° to the the horizontal. At the same time a man who is standing on the ground starts from rest and moves with a constant acceleration of ?(see Figure). (a) Find the time of flight of the ball (b) What should be the acceleration of the man so that he can hold the ball before it falls? cos53o =sin37o=0.6 cos37o =sin53o=0.8 g=9.8 m/s2
A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 9.0 m/s then falls back to its initial position. If you are to ignore the air resistance, what will be the total displacement of the ball?
Suppose a chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfallthat is 1.50 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.00 mfrom the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows,(a) find the x - and y - components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of itstrajectory. (b) Can the fish make this jump? (Note that a chinooksalmon can jump out of the water with an initial speedof 6.26 m/s.)
Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?
Do the d part In a cricket match, a batsman hits a ball at an angle of 36o from the horizontal with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s. Assuming that the ball moves in a vertical plane, find (a) the time at which the ball reaches the highest point of its trajectory, (b) its maximum height, (c) its time of flight and range, and (d) its velocity when it strikes the ground
FILL IN THE BLANKS Problem In a relief operation mission involving a helicopter h distance above the ground traveling with a horizontal velocity vx. What should be the expression for the horizontal distance dx at which you release the relief package so that it will arrive to the survivors at the right place? (Neglect the effect of air resistance) Solution To determine this, we must first derive the time it takes for the relief package to reach the survivors. We use this equation -h = vinitial-yt + (1/2)ay = _____ If we just drop the package from the helicopter, the equation above becomes ___________ = ________ + (1/2)ay _______ Substituting ay = -g then simplifying results to t = sqrt(_______ /_________ ) which is the time it takes for the object to reach the ground. Since the package will just travel at a constant velocity in the x-axis, thus dx = vxt Substituting the time taken by the package to reach to ground results to: dx = (_________)( sqrt (________/________ ) ) which is the…
Now, imagine an elephant and a feather under free-fall (if there is no air resistance) being dropped from the same height at the same exact moment. Which one do you think will reach the ground first? How can you tell?

A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21.0 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 35.0 to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the initial speed of the ball, (b) the time it takes the ball to reach the wall, and (c) the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall. (Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.00 m above the ground.)
Entering his dorm room, a student tosses his book bag to the right and upward at an angle of 45 with the horizontal (Fig. OQ4.2). Air resistance does not affect the bag. The bag moves through point immediately after it leaves the students hand, through point at the top of its flight, and through point immediately before it lands on the top bunk bed. (i) Rank the following horizontal and vertical velocity components from the largest to the smallest. (a) x (b) y (c) x (d) y (e) y. Note that zero is Larger than a negative number. If two quantities are equal, show them as equal in your list. If any quantity is equal to zero, show that fact in your list. (ii) Similarly, rank the following acceleration components.
