An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.515 m above his mouth. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit? m/s

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60.0-m building and lands 100.0 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (a) How long is the ball in the air? (b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity? (c) What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the ball hits the ground? (d) What is the velocity (including both the horizontal and vertical components) of the ball just before it hits the ground?
You are watching a friend practice archery when he misses the target completely, and the arrow sticks into the ground. Discouraged, your friend asks whether you can help by estimating the speed with which the arrow left the bow. Remembering your physics class, you realize that you can do so by measuring its height above the ground when it was launched, if you assume the arrow was launched horizontally and that the ground is level. For your analysis, you let h represent the arrows height above the ground when it was launched, v0 represent the launch speed, and represent the angle the arrow makes with the horizontal when it is stuck into the ground. Find an expression for v0 in terms of h and .
Gun sights are adjusted to aim high to compensate for the effect of gravity, effectively making the gun accurate only for a specific range. (a) If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 100.0 m away, how low will the bullet hit if aimed directly at a target 150.0 m away? The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 275 m/s. (b) Discuss qualitatively how a larger muzzle velocity would affect this problem and what would be the effect of air resistance.
New York Rangers defenseman Daniel Girardi stands at the goal and passes a hockey puck 20 m and 45 from straight down the ice to left wing Chris Kreider waiting at the blue line. Kreider waits for Giran:li to reach the blue line and passes the puck directly across the ice to him 10 m away. What is the final displacement of the puck? See the following figure.
A basketball player dribbles the ball while running at a constant speed straight across the court. Think about the velocity and acceleration of the ball and then sketch a motion diagram for the ball. Explain how you arrived at your sketch.
A helicopter blade spins at exactly 100 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 5.00 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate the average speed of the blade tip in the helicopter's frame of reference. (b) What is its average velocity over one revolution?
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45 to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m- high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?
Question Read and analyze the problem below then solve. Show a complete solution with illustration. 1. The range R of a projectile fired at an acute angle e with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of v meters per second is given by R=V²/g sin2∅ where g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/sec² near the Earth's surface. A. An archer targets an object 100 meters away from her position. If she positions her arrow at an angle of 32° and releases the arrow at the speed of 30 m/sec. will she hit her target? (Show your calculations.) b. If sin ∅=2/5 solve for v when R = 50
A log is floating on swiftly moving water. A stone is dropped from rest from a 72.4-m-high bridge and lands on the log as it passes under the bridge. If the log moves with a constant speed of 5.32 m/s, what is the horizontal distance between the log and the bridge when the stone is released?
Solve the problem. PROVIDE THE GIVEN, REQUIRED, EQUATION, SOLUTION, AND FINAL ANSWER The charter day of Manila is usually celebrated with a fireworks display. In one of the displays, a shell was shot into the air with an initial speed of 87.0 m/s at an angle of 85.0º above the horizontal. The fuse was timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. Solve for the following: a) height at which the shell explodes; b) time passed between the launch of the shell and the explosion c) horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes.
