For women’s volleyball the top of the net is 2.24 m above the floor and the court measures 9.0 m by 9.0 m on each side of the net. Using a jump serve, a player strikes the ball at a point that is 3.0 m above the floor and a horizontal distance of 8.0 m from the net. If the initial velocity of the ball is horizontal, (a) what minimum magnitude must it have if the ball is to clear the net and (b) what maximum magnitude can it have if the ball is to strike the floor inside the back line on the other side of the net?
A punter kicks a football at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal at an initial speed of 15 m/s. Where should a punt returner position himself to catch the ball just before it strikes the ground?
A marble is launched from the edge of a table at a angle of 45 ° up from horizontal and goes through the air until it hits the floor. True or False? For such a marble, |vx| (the magnitude of the x-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne.
A golfer tees off on a hill located 75 meters below the green. If the golfer wants a hole in one and the hole is 285 meters away, will they succeed? If not, how far away will the ball land from the hole? Use 60 m/s at 60 degrees for the initial golf ball velocity.
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 3.6 ss for the dart to land back at the barrel.
A marble is launched from the edge of a table at a angle of 45 ° up from horizontal and goes through the air until it hits the floor. True or False? For such a marble, |vy| (the magnitude of the y-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne. Group of answer choices
In a football game, a player wants to kick the ball as far as possible, but also make sure that it stays in the air as long as possible, so that there is enough time for other players to run down the field and tackle the receiver. If the football is supposed to travel a distance of 49.8 m and stay in the air for 4.41 s, what initial angle and speed does the player have to provide? You can assume that the initial and final vertical coordinate are zero. Hint: Start from the range equation that you derived in class.
Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
A boy wishes to throw a ball over a flat roofed school house that stands 12 m wide and 7.5 m high on level ground. Assuming that the ball will leave his hand at a height of 5 m above the ground,determine how far from the wall he should take his hand in order to make the ball clear the roof with least effort, that is, with minimum velocity.

A kicker must kick a soccer ball from a point 36.0 m (approximately 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd expects the ball to go over the crossbar, which is 3.05m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a velocity of 21.7 m / s at an angle of 51.5 ° with respect to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear, or not, the crossbar? (Give a negative value if it falls short.) (b) When the ball hits the crossbar, does it go up or down?
A young girl standing on a bridge throws a stone with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at a downward angle of 45° to the horizontal, in an attempt to hit a block of wood floating in the river below. If the stone is thrown from a height of 20 m and it just reaches the water when the block is 13 m from the bridge, does the stone hit the block?
