A circus performer throws an apple toward a hoop held by a performer on a platform (Fig. P4.27). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws with a speed of 24 m/s. At the exact moment the thrower releases the apple, the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. a. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop? b. If the performer on the platform did not drop the hoop, would the apple pass through it? Figure P4.27
A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
A worker tosses bricks one by one to a coworker on a scaffold 5.00 m above his location. Each brick is in flight for 1.80 s. a. What is the initial velocity with which the bricks are thrown? b. What is the velocity of the bricks just as they are caught?
It is possible to shoot an arrow at a speed as high as 100 m/s. (a) If friction can be ignored, how high would an arrow launched at this speed rise if shot straight up? (b) How long would the arrow be in the air?
The archerfish hunts by dislodging an unsuspecting insect from its resting place with a stream of water expelled from thefish’s mouth. Suppose the archerfish squirts water with an initial speed of 2.30 m>s at an angle of 19.5° above the horizontal. When the stream of water reaches a beetle on a leaf at height h above the water’s surface, it is moving horizontally.a. How much time does the beetle have to react?b. What is the height h of the beetle?c. What is the horizontal distance d between the fish and the beetle when the water is launched?
•Upon finishing your final exam in this class, you throw your textbook straight up in the air as you pass your professor, such that it will land on his head. If the top of his head is a height H above the ground, and you release the book with a velocity v0 at a height h above the ground (H>h), find: • a)How long it takes the book to reach its highest point? ● b)The distance to the highest point from the ground. ● c)How long it is in the air before it hits your professor’s head?
a guy is throwing pumpkins off a five story (15 meters high) building and wants the messiest result possible (highest velocity impact). a) he first throws a pumpkin downward at 45 degrees below the horizon at 15 m/s. how fast does the pumpkin hit the ground? at what angle does it hit? b) he then throws a second pumpkin upward with the same velocity 45 degrees above the horizon. how fast does the second pumpkin hit the ground? c) which strategy (throwing the pumpkin up or down) results in a higher velocity impact? think about why this might be
An attacker at the base of a castle wall 4.00 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 4.50 m/s from a height of 1.60 m above the ground. (a) Will the rock reach the top of the wall? (b) If so, what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top? (c) Find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 4.50 m/s and moving between the same two points. (d) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations? (e) Explain physically why it does or does not agree.
In a circus, a “human cannonball” is launched from a cannon and lands in a net. The cannon releases him at the same height as the net. His initial velocity is 18.3 m/s in a direction 40.0° above the horizontal. a) For how much time will he be in the air? b) How far does he travel horizontally? c) What is the velocity upon impact? The circus manager from the previous question wants to make the stunt more dramatic by firing the stuntman through a hoop 9.0 m high then land in a safety net at the same height as the cannon. The cannon’s angle is changed to 45.0° and the velocity is increased to   21.0 m/s. The manager needs to know where to place the hoop and safety net. a) How far from the cannon should the safety net be placed? b) What is the time required to reach the height of the hoop? c) How far from the cannon should the hoop be placed?
An elevator without a ceiling is ascending with a constant speed of 10 m/s. A boy on the elevator shoots a ball directly upward, from a height of 2.0 m above the elevator floor, just as the elevator floor is 28 m above the ground.The initial speed of the ball with respect to the elevator is 20 m/s. (a) What maximum height above the ground does the ball reach? (b) How long does the ball take to return to the elevator floor?
A locust jumps at an angle of 55.0 and lands 0.800 m from where it jumped. (a)What is the maximum height of the locust during its jump? Ignore air resistance andassume g = 9.8 m/s2 (b) If it jumps with the same initial speed at an angle of 45.0,would the maximum height be larger or smaller? (c) Calculate the maximum heightand range for this angle.
A stone is thrown horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 78.4 m high. a. How long does it take the stone to reach the bottom of the cliff? b. How far from the base of the cliff does thew stone hit the ground? c. What are the horizointal and vertical components of the stone's velocity just before it hits the ground? How would the three answers to the above problem change if: a. the stone were thrown with twice the horizontal speed? b. the stone were thrown with the same speed, but the cliff were twice as high?
