On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The free- fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 29 m/sm/s at an angle 36 °° above the horizontal. 00 A) How long was the ball in flight? B) How far did it travel? C) Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would it travel on the moon than on earth?

In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.) Compare your answer with thr free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s^2
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball (GIVEN A)m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of (GIVEN B)cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 3.85 m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 43.56 cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
In the 1991 World Track and Field Championships in Tokyo, Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m, breaking by a full 5 cm the 23-year long-jump record set by Bob Beamon. Assume that Powell’s speed on takeoff was 9.5 m/s (about equal to that of a sprinter) and that g 9.80 m/s2 in Tokyo. How much less was Powell’s range than the maximum possible range for a particle launched at the same speed?

Curiosity, the Mars rover designed to explore Gale Crate has a maximum speed of 0.14 km/h. If the rover was moving at this speed on a flat Martiansurface and hit a small bump that projected it off the surface at an angle of 28°, how long would it be “airborne” on Mars given that the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.711 m/s²?
Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
Bacteria move back and f01th by using their flagella (Structures that look like little tails). Speeds of up to 50m/s(50106m/s) have been observed. The total distance traveled by a bacterium is large for its size, while its displacement is small. Why is this?
A World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain with a speed of 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 3.00 km The bombardier releases one bomb. (a) How far does the bomb travel horizontally between it release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance. (b) The pilot maintains the planes original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane when the bomb hits the ground? (c) The bomb hits the target seen in the telescopic bombsight at the moment of the bombs release. At what angle from tin- vertical was the bombsight set?

A student see's her physical professor approaching on the side walk that runs by her dorm , She gets a water ballon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk , she drops the balloon what happens?
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speedof 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of3.00 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How fardoes the bomb travel horizontally between its release and itsimpact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitatesthe bombardier before he can call, “Bombs away!”Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane’s originalcourse, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Whereis the plane relative to the bomb’s point of impact when thebomb hits the ground? (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsightset so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight atthe moment of release. At what angle from the vertical wasthe bombsight set?
