Consider a projectile launched form ground level at an angle of elevation with an initial velocity . The maximum horizontal range is given by xmax=(v 2/0 sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the problem: If a soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 28 m/sec, what is the smallest positive angle at which the player should kick the ball to reach a teammate 48m down the field? Assume that the ball reaches the teammate at ground level on the fly. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 160 feet and explode at an apex of 200 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle θ = 60° above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed v0 for the shells, the separation distance d between the launch points A and B, and the time t from launch at which the shells explode.
A projectile is launched with a launch angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal direction and with an initial speed of 26 m/s. How do the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity vary with time?The initial velocity in the x-direction vx0 is related to the initial speed by vx0 = v0 cos 30°. The constant velocity in the x-direction means that the equation describing the time dependence of x for the particle, with x0 taken as 0, is x = x0 + vx0t = 0 + m/s t. The equation for the vertical coordinate, which is constantly accelerating downward at g = 9.8 m/s2, is y = y0 + vy0t − 1 2 gt2 = m/s t + m/s2 t2.
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
In a volleyball game held in school, Player A at position X serves the ball from a height of 1.3m from the ground, imparting it with an initial velocity at an angle of 50 degrees from the horizontal, He aimed the all to land at point O, 0.5m short to Player B, thus making an ace, Incidentally the Player B is an expert in mind reading. The instant the server hits the ball, Player B started running from rest with a constant acceleration a. Check whether the ball willclear the 2.42m high net.(answer in meters)b. At what horizontal distance in meters from position Y will Player B intercept the ball, given that he intercepts it at a height of 1.6m?c. What is the acceleration in m/s^2 of Player B

Miltiadis Tentoglou is the current Olympic gold medalist for the running long jump. In one of Miltiadis’ practices, he insanely attempts to jump five people who are laid out on the ground in single file from head to toe. Each of the five individuals are 1.7 meters in height and when Miltiadis launches off the ground his initial resultant velocity is directed 20 degrees above the horizon and the horizontal component of this resultant velocity is 10 m/s. In executing the jump, Miltiadis’ center of mass drops 0.6 meters vertically from the instant of takeoff to the instant of landing. Calculate Miltiadis’ a) initial and final vertical velocities in m/s, b) initial and final resultant velocity magnitudes in m/s, c) total time in the air in seconds and d) how far he was able to jump horizontally in meters. e) How many centimeters of clearance did Miltiadis have on both sides of the jump when jumping the five individuals (assume the clearance distance is the same on both sides of the…

The magnitude of the acceleration at the maximum height is 9.8 m/s2. c. At its maximum height, the velocity of the projectile is zero. d. Only the vertical component of the motion is accelerating.
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
