It has been a great day of new, frictionless snow. Julie starts at the top of the 60° slope shown in the figure below. At the bottom, a circular arc carries her through a 90° turn, and she then launches off a 3.0 m high ramp. How far horizontally is her touchdown point from the end of the ramp? 25 m 60° 13.0 m

A baseball slugger hits a pitch and watches the ball fly into the bleachers for a home run, landing h=6.5mℎ=6.5m higher than it was struck. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf=31.35m/s at an angle θf=25.5∘ below the horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. Create an expression for the ball’s initial horizontal velocity, v0,x, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity. Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the ball’s initial velocity. Find the angle above the horizontal, in degrees, at which the ball left the bat.
A person stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a pebble horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 20.0 m/s. The pebble leaves his hand at a height of h = 52.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the pebble leaves the hand.
Turn to chapter 4, problem 46, expect let's have the cliff angled at 21 deg., the skier launching at 20 m/s, and the cliff's height at 105.6 m. How far horizontally will the skier go?
On the Martian moon of Phobos, the escape speed is only 11.3 m/s . While standing on Phobos, suppose a person throws a baseball at a speed equal to the escape speed. The figure shows four possible directions in which the person could throw the ball at that speed.In which of these directions will the ball escape from Phobos? Could I please have some direction on how I may approach this? direction A only direction A or B direction A, B, or C direction A, B, C, or D none of these
A soccer team is playing a game. When the game started, the kicker kicks the ball from the ground level with initial velocity at an angle 37.1 degrees above the horizontal. The ball completes its parabolic trajectory and hits the ground after 8.25 seconds. Find the balls initial speed.

A conical pendulum is a weight or bob fixed on the end of a string suspended from a pivot. It moves in a horizontal circular path, as shown in the diagram below. a. Suppose the bob has a mass of 0.27 kg, the length of the pendulum is 0.70 m and the angle that it swings at is 13°. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration? (m/s2) b. What is the radius of the horizontal circular path? (m) c. What is the speed of the mass? (m/s)
An object moving in a circular trajectory experiences both centripetal and tangential accelerations. Can the two accelerations ever cancel each other out? a No. b You're kidding, right? c Yes. d Only if the plane of the trajectory makes an angle with the vertical.
Vhas Thed is standing on a bridge. He is at a height 83.6 m above the water below.

How far does the cell phone travel horizontally before hitting the water? Draw an Illustration.
A woman stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a pebble horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 20.5 m/s.The pebble leaves her hand at a height of h = 55.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the pebble leaves the hand. Answer parts a-f.
A typical running track is an oval with 74-m-diameter half circles at each end. A runner going once around the track covers a distance of 400 m. Suppose a runner, moving at a constant speed, goes once around the track in 1 min 40 s. What is her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track?
