As shown in (Figure 1), a skier speeds along a flat patch of snow, and then flies horizontally off the edge at 18.0 m/s. He eventually lands on a straight, sloped section that is at an angle of 45.0° below the horizontal. Part A How long is he in the air? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Use a graphing utility to generate the trajectory of a paper airplane whose equations of motion for t ≥ 0 arex = t − 2 sin t, y = 3 − 2 cos t Assuming that the plane flies in a room in which the floor is at y = 0, explain why the plane will not crashinto the floor. [For simplicity, ignore the physical size of the plane by treating it as a particle.] How high must the ceiling be to ensure that the plane does not touch or crash into it?
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angleof 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot?
Problem 1: A cannon ball has been shot from a 10 height with an initial velocity of 15m/s, what is the horizontal distance from which it land? What is its time of flight?Problem 2: A man has been use to fire a cannon with an initial speed of 15 m/s at anangle of 42 degrees from the horizontal surface. What is the maximum heigh the manwas able to reach? What is the range of the man where the canon was shot? What isthe total flight of the man?What is the conclusion?
Let's say the launch speed is constant, but you can adjust the launch angle, and again we will deal with the special case where the landing point is at the same vertical level as the launch point. In this case, which launch angle will produce the maximum range? 45 degrees, angle less than 45 degrees, angle greater than 45 degrees, or does it depend?

A ball is shot from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 18 m/s at an angle θ = 43° above the horizontal. If a nearby building is the same height and 61 m away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? ( Choose upward as the positive y-direction and express the displacement with the sign of the result, which must be in units of meters and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.80 m/s2.)
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.5 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun?
Your bow can fire arrows at 70 ??. You shoot an arrow straight up into the air. After 1 second, you shoot anotherarrow into the air.a) If you are shooting the arrows from 2 m above the ground, how far above the ground do the arrowscollide? (Answer: 251 m)
In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity of ~v(0) =< 40, 35, 32 > ft/sec. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/sec2 due to gravity, i.e., ~a(t) =< 0, 0, −32 >, and that the vector ~i points down fieldtoward the endzone and that the vector ~j points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it isthrown. (b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the player in bounds or out ofbounds when he receives the ball? (Assume the player is standing vertically with bothtoes on the ground at the time of reception.)
A projectile is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 30 m/s in thehorizontal direction. If the top of the building is 30 m above the ground, a) how long isthe projectile in the air? b) With what speed and angle will the projectile be moving justbefore it strikes the ground? (Hint: final speed = 38.6 m/s)
I need some help with finding the velocity in section 1.1, and also solving 1.2. I believe the projection angle is 45 degrees. Thanks!
A student ires a canonball with a speed of 35.0m/s from a height of 50.om/s at an angle of 62 degrees. How long did the ball remain in the air ? How far from the base of the building did the ball land? How fast was the ball moving as it struck the ground?
