- An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)arrow_forwardThe height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 4 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 25.5 m/s is h = 4 + 25.5t − 4.9t2 after t seconds. When does the projectile meet its maximum height and what is its maximum height?arrow_forwardImagine that you hit a ball at ground level and send it toward the wall with a speed at 18 m/s at an angle of 32° above the horizontal. (a) How long does it take for the ball to reach the wall if it is 3.8 m away. (b) How high is the ball when it hits the wall?arrow_forward
- The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a projectile are 64.6 m/s and 82.7 m/s, respectively. If it is projected from a height of 65 m above the ground, how long does it take the projectile to rise the highest point of its trajectory?[Assume that g = 9.8 m/s*).arrow_forwardA projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?arrow_forwardIf you drop an object from a specific height, it takes 0.84 seconds to hit the ground.(a) If you throw a baseball horizontally with an initial speed of 22 m/s from the same height, how long will it take the baseball to hit the ground?arrow_forward
- A horizontal projectile is shot with an initial velocity of 9.9 m/s from a height of 5.8 m above the ground. Neglecting air-resistance, what is the horizontal distance of the landing point (measured in meters from the base of the shooting point)?arrow_forwardA tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 4.30 m high. If she lands 5.00 m from the base of the tree, calculate her initial speed ?0. (Neglect any effects due to air resistance.)arrow_forwardNeglecting air resistance, if a ball is thrown 4.5 m/s horizontally from a 94-m cliff, how far has the ball fallen after 2.2 s?arrow_forward
- An athlete in a high jump event is running at 5.3 m/s directly toward the high-jump bar when he jumps into the air to jump over the bar. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (Hint : The athlete is now on a projectile trajectory to reach the high-jump bar) (a)What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need in order to just rise 65 centimeters above the ground? (b)How far (in m) from the bar (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the bar?arrow_forwardIf the height of the water slide is h = 3.8m, and the person's initial speed at the top is 0.70m/s , what is the horizontal distance between the base of the slide and the splashdown point of the person?arrow_forwardA basketball player is running at 4.70 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.850 meters above the floor? m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket? marrow_forward
