Macy kicks a ball towards a goal gate at a distance of 14.5m from the gate. The height of the top bar of a soccer goal gate is 2.52 m. After the kick, the initial velocity of the ball is 19.5 m/s at 68.0° from the vertical. Does the ball travel into the gate (under the top bar)? Give a detailed calculation to support your answer. -- Goal gate 2.52m 68.0 ball ground 14.5 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 golf ball is hit at a 64o angle with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. How far did the golf ball go? What other angle would give this distance? How would you decide which angle would be better to use?
A basketball is shot from an initial height of 2.40 m (Figure 1) with an initial speed?o = 12 ms-1directed at an angle ?0 = 35° above the horizontal.(a) How far from the basket was the player if he made a basket?(b) At what angle to the horizontal did the ball enter the basket?
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?
A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball from a horizontal distance of 13.4 m from the goal, and the ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. The launch angle was 33.9 degrees above horizontal. What was the initial speed of the ball, in m/s?
The cliff divers of Acapulco push off horizontally from rock platforms about hhh = 31 mm above the water, but they must clear rocky outcrops at water level that extend out into the water LLL = 5.2 mm from the base of the cliff directly under their launch point (Figure 1). What minimum pushoff speed is necessary to clear the rocks? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. How long are they in the air? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
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)
You throw a ball at a launch speed of 6.7 m/s at an angle of 52.5 degrees to the horizontal. Assuming that the ball lands at the same level as the launch height, what is the maximum range of the ball in metres? Give your answer to 2 sf.
Suppose a soccer player kicks the ball from a distance 30 m toward the goal. Find the initial speed of the ball if it just passes over the goal, 2.4 m above the ground, given the initial direction to be 40° above the horizontal. ?m/s
A rocket is launched at an angle of 58.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 104 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. What is the total time of flight? What is the horizontal range?
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 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
A batter hits a fly ball which leaves the bat 0.90 m above the ground at an angle of 61° with an initial speed of 28m/s heading toward centerfield. Ignore air resistance.(a) How far from home plate would the ball land if notcaught? (b) The ball is caught by the centerfielder who,starting at a distance of 105 m from home plate just as the ballwas hit, runs straight toward home plate at a constant speedand makes the catch at ground level. Find his speed.
