A dart gun is fired while being held horizontally at a height of 1.00 m above ground level and while it is at rest relative to the ground. The dart from the gun travels a horizontal distance of 5.00 m. A college student holds the same gun in a horizontal position while sliding down a 45.0 incline at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s. How far w ill the dart travel if the student fires the gun when it is 1.00 m above the ground?
You hit a golf ball into the air with an initial horizontal speed of 40 m/s and an initial vertical upward speed of 50 m/s. Ignore air resistance and use g = 10 m/s2. How much time does it take for the ball to reach its maximum vertical displacement? What is the maximum vertical displacement of the ball? What is the horizontal displacement of the ball when the ball is at its maximum vertical displacement?
Suppose an outfielder throws a baseball with an initial speed of 12 m/s in a direction 30° up from the horizontal. Use a trajectory diagram to determine the height of the peak of its trajectory in reality. I suggest using a time step of Δt = 0.2s and a scale of 1.0 m (in reality) = 2.0 cm (on diagram). The height of the peak of its trajectory in reality is _____ m.
A volcano erupted and spit a rock in the atmosphere at an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 25m/s. The rock hit the ground 20 meters below the crater. What is the upward velocity of the rock in m/s? What is the horizontal velocity of the rock in m/s? Determine the time travelled by the rock before hitting the ground in seconds.
On Sept 14, 2014 a truck flew off the 805 N freeway into the side of the Dave & Busters in Mission Valley. When the truck broke through the guardrail it was launched from the freeway with a horizontal velocity of 10.7 m/s and fell a vertical distance of 50 feet (15.2 m). a) Draw a simplified sketch showing the trajectory of the truck being launched horizontally with the velocity of 10.7 m/s. b) Determine the time that it would take for the truck to freefall the 50 feet( 15.2 m). c) Ignoring air resistance and scraping the building on the way down, determine the instantaneous velocity of the truck just before impacting the ground.
You shoot a ball horizontally at 20 m/s from a window 45 m above the ground, a) How long does it take to reach the ground? (calculate in seconds) b) How far will it land from your building? (calculate in meters)
San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal is trying to shoot t-shirts into the crowd at Oracle Park. Lou wants to deliver a t-shirt into the hands of a fan standing 40 m away horizontally but 16 m above the launch point. If he angles the t-shirt cannon 45 degrees above the horizontal, what speed does the cannon need to launch at to get the t-shirt to the fan? (You can ignore air resistance in this problem).
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 5.0s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun? Express answer using two significant figures.
A rock is thrown from the top of a building (height of 40 m) at an angle of 62.7∘∘ above the horizontal. Calculate the speed (in m⋅⋅s-1) with which the rock was thrown, if the horizontal range of the throw is equal to the height of the building.
