EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED I I'M STUCK! A catapult launches a rock at a 33° angle with respect to the horizontal. Find the maximum height attained if the speed of the rock at its highest point is 26 m/s. If you knew the vertical component of initial velocity, could you find the maximum height of the rock?

To celebrate the start of October, you want to win a pumpkincatapult contest, which requires you to build a catapult and launcha pumpkin from it. You build your catapult so that it releases thepumpkin when the catapult arm is exactly vertical, as shown inthe picture. a.Draw a picture and make a list of known and unknownquantities for the scenario b.Suppose the catapult arm has a length of R = 3 m and the pumpkin undergoes uniform circular motion with an acceleration of a = 75 m/s^2 before it is launched. What is the speed of the pumpkin at the moment it is launched?
A skateboarder rolls upward along a curved ramp, as shown in the diagram, and reaches the highest point thatis a vertical height of 7.5 m above the base of the ramp. (a) What would the initial speed at the base of the ramp (point A) required for the skateboarder to reachthe top of the ramp be? (b) What is the skateboarder’s speed at the point that is 1.1 m vertically above the base of the ramp?
The diagram shows a 4kg object accelerating at 10m/s2 on a rough horizontal surface from rest. d) What is velocity after 5sec? e) What is the displacement traveled by the object? f) What must be the applied force in order for the acceleration to remain unchanged?
A golfer hits a golf ball from the ground with an initial speed of 42 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal. The ball hits the ground on the fairway, at a height 1.75 m below its initial height. Please answer all of the following questions regarding this scenario and show your work: 1. Find the horizontal and verticle components of the initial velocity 2. What is the maximum height the ball reaches? 3. What is the height of the ball 1.5 s after it was hit? When does it reach that height again? 4. How far away does the golf ball hit the ground? 5. What is the velocity of the golf ball the moment before it hits the ground? Give your answer in terms of speed and the angle it makes with the horizontal.
Solve the problem by showing all complete solution and illustration for the problem. 2. An arrow is shot from a height of 1.5 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 4.0 s later. (a) What is the height of the cliff? (b) What is the maximum height reached by the arrow along its trajectory? (c) What is the arrow’s impact speed just before hitting the cliff?
Im doing physics and I am trying tor figue out how to find out which object a rock that is 5kg or one that is 10kg that is droped at the same hight of 4m will hit the ground faster. My teacher gave me the following equations to show my work but I need help figureing out what to do. The equations are: f=mg , w= fd , p=w/t.

Hi, can anyone help me with this scenario? I'm very confused and now stuck on the questions. On the apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit 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 25 m/s at an angle 26 degrees above the horizontal. 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 the earth? Thank you for all your help!
Standing at the edge of a cliff 30.5 m high,you drop a ball. Later, you throw a second ball downward with aninitial speed of 11.2 m>s. (a) Which ball has the greater increase inspeed when it reaches the base of the cliff, or do both balls speedup by the same amount? (b) Verify your answer to part (a) with acalculation.
Please explain and give the final answer for this problem. I keep getting wrong answers after long and time consuming calculations.
You throw a water balloon vertically downwards with a speed of 15 m/s from a height of 29 m above the ground. At the exact same time, your friend drops a water balloon from a height of 11 m above the ground at the same speed.(a) Which water balloon hits the ground first? Yours or your friend's? Use calculations tosupport your answer.(b) How much faster is your water balloon traveling when it hits the ground compared to thespeed of your friend's water balloon when it hits the ground?
