Pelicans tuck their wings and free-fall straight down when diving for fish. Suppose a pelican starts its dive from a height of 19.0 m and cannot change its path once committed. If it takes a fish 0.20s to perform evasive action, at what minimum height must it spot the pelican to escape? Assume the fish is at the surface of the water.

A projectile is launched in the horizontal direction. It travels 2.050m horizontally while it falls 0.450m vertically, and it then strikes the floor. How long is the projectile in the air? What was the original velocity of the projectile?
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
Which of the following is INCORRECT about projectile motion with the same initial and final elevations? a. The total time of flight is twice the time to reach the maximum height. b. The magnitude of the acceleration at the maximum height is 9.8 m/s2. c. At its maximum height, the velocity of the projectile is zero. d. Only the vertical component of the motion is accelerating.
Use a graphing utility to obtain the path of a projectile launched from the ground (h = 0) at the specified values of θ = 35°, v0 = 300 feet per second. In the exercise, use the graph to determine the maximum height and the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. Also use the graph to determine the range of the projectile and the time it hits the ground. Round all answers to the nearest tenth.
A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 12 m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
An object is thrown off of a cliff 320 m above level ground with an initial horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. How far from the building did the rock land?
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
Given the following velocity function of an object moving along a line, find the position function with the given initial position. v(t)=e−3t+3; s(0)=1
A football is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at angle of 35° above the horizontal. You will be asked to find how far the ball lands. Draw the path of the ball. Consider the path of the ball from its launch until it reaches its maximum height. What are the givens in the x-direction? Group of answer choices v0x = 20.5 m/s; ax = 0 m/s2 v0x = 20.5 m/s; ax = 0 m/s2; vfx = 0 m/s v0x = 25 m/s; ax = -9.8 m/s2; vfx = 0 m/s v0x = 14.3 m/s; ax = -9.8 m/s2; Δx = 0 m
Using the vy component of the initial velocity for a projectile projected at an angle, which of the following quantities can be determined? a. time in reaching the peak b. maximum height reached c. both a and b d. neither a nor b
Consider a projectile launched form ground level at an angle of elevation with an initial velocity . The maximum horizontal range is given by xmax=(v 2/0 sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the problem: If a soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 28 m/sec, what is the smallest positive angle at which the player should kick the ball to reach a teammate 48m down the field? Assume that the ball reaches the teammate at ground level on the fly. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
