Golf shot A golfer stands 390 ft (130 yd) horizontally from thehole and 40 ft below the hole (see figure). Assuming the ball is hitwith an initial speed of 150 ft/s, at what angle(s) should it be hitto land in the hole? Assume the path of the ball lies in a plane.
A projectile is fired horizontally - think about what this means about the initial y-velocity (viy) - at a velocity of 5.40 m/s. It is fired from a height of 1.10 meters. How far horizontally does the projectile go before it hits the ground? Hint: First, find out how long the projectile is in flight before it hits the ground? (In other words, what is the time, in units of "seconds"?) NOTE - pay attention to how you define your +/- directions. Do not type the units into your answer - type only the numerical part.
Show complete solution A ball is thrown following a projectile motion. It is known that the horizontal distance (range) the ball can travel is given by R=v02gsin 2θ , where r is the range (in feet), v0 is the initial speed (in ft/s), θ is the angle of elevation the ball is thrown, and g=32 ft/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity. a. Express the new range in terms of the original range when an angle (0< θ<45°) is doubled. b. If a ball travels a horizontal distance of 20 ft when kicked at an angle ofwith initial speed of ft/s, find the horizontal distance it can travel when you double .Hint: use result of item (a).
Question: Diego is getting hungry and acting like a typical saber-toothed tiger. He visualizes Sid as a hunk of meat and begins to chase him frantically around the ground. First, Sid darts 50.0 meters at 35.0° NoW and then turns abruptly and races 40.0 m S. If Manny ran from where they were originally standing to where Sid ended up, how far and in what direction would Manny have to run to break up the fight? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 42.5 m @ 15.5° SoW Thanks!!
