A place kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0m (about 40 yards) from the goal, and half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.0m/s at an angle of 53o 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?
Suppose that a passenger intent on lunchduring his first ride in a hot-air balloon accidently drops an appleover the side during the balloon’s liftoff.

A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height 1.74 km, the rocket reaches a speed of 251m/s. At that height, the rocket runs of fuel so there is nolonger any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward.a. assuming constant acceleration, what is the rocket's accerlation in m/s2 during the period from its launch until it runs out of fuel?b. afther the rocket's engine turns off at a height of 1.74km it continues to move upward due tothe velocity it reached. what is the rocket's acceleration in m/s2 during the engine shutoff until it returns to the ground.
