Problem 6: A football is punted from the ground, it passes through the apex of its flight, and it begins its downward decent, as shown. When its height above the field is h = 1.4 m, the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity are observed to have the values vhorizontal = 16.5 m/s and vvertical = 2.25 m/s, respectively. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the initial position of the football. Ignore air resistance. Uhoelzontal

A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest elevation angles at which he can kick the ball to score a field goal from a point 50.0 m in front of goalposts whose horizontal bar is 3.44 m above the ground? When doing this, you may want to research some trig identities to get a formula involving only tangent functions. Also, since there are two values of angle that will work, maybe the quadratic formula is involved.
A particle is traveling in a circular path at constant speed in four positions as shown below. If theta1 = 74.00, theta2 = 1550, theta3 = 1950, and theta4 = 2920, determine the angles, relative to the positive-x axis, at which the particle is accelerating.
A particle P travels with constant speed on a circle of radius r =3.00 m and completes one revolution in 20.0 s. The particle passes through O at time t = 0. State the following vectors in magnitudeangle notation (angle relative to the positive direction of x).With respect to O, find the particle’s position vector at the times t of (a) 5.00 s, (b) 7.50 s, and (c) 10.0 s. (d) For the 5.00 s interval from the end of the fifth second to the end of the tenth second, find the particle’s displacement. For that interval, find (e) its average velocity and its velocity at the (f) beginning and (g) end. Next, find the acceleration at the (h) beginning and (i) end of that interval.
Point A moves uniformly with velocity v so that the vector v is continually “aimed” at point B which in its turn moves rectilinearly and uniformly with velocity u At the initial moment of time v perpendicular to u and the points are separated by a distance L. How soon will the points converge?
How far did the boat travel from the point where the distress call was made to the point where the boat was found? In other words, what is the magnitude of vector C?
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
At t = 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of vi=(3.00i2.00j)m/s and is at the origin. At t = 3.00 s, the particles velocity is vf=(9.00i+7.00j)m/s. Find (a) the acceleration of the particle and (b) its coordinates at any time t.
Derive expressions for the velocity (~v) and acceleration (~a) vectors in spherical coordinates.That is, transform ~v and ~a from the Cartesian system of (x, y, z) to (r, θ, φ).
Two points are given in polar coordinates by (r, ?) = (2.60 m, 50.0°) and (r, ?) = (3.00 m, −42.0°), respectively. What is the distance between them?
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the ball in the air for, in seconds?
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? (In degrees)
A projectile is fired vertically from point A with an initial speed of 215 ft/sec. Relative to an observer located at B, at what times (find two times t1 < t2) will the line of sight to the projectile make an angle of 23° with the horizontal? Compute the magnitude of the speed of the projectile at each time, and ignore the effect of aerodynamic drag on the projectile. Calculate the height h when the projectile is at point C.
