Projectile Motion The path of a projectile fired at an inclination 0 to the horizontal with initial speed vo is a parabola (see the figure). The range R of the projectile, that is, the horizontal distance that the projectile travels, is found by using the function vở sin(20) R(0) Vo = Initial speed where g - 32.2 feet per second per second - 9.8 meters per second per second is the acceleration due to gravity. The maximum height H of the projectile is given by the function Height, H v3 (sin 0)? H(0) Range, R- 2g , find the range R and maximum height H The projectile is fired at an angle of 45° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 feet per second.

In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his forks handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 8.25 m/s at an angle of 75.0 above the table. With what speed does the pea strike the ceiling 2.00 in above the table?
You throw a baseball at an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30 with respect to the horizontal. What would the ball’s initial speed have to be at 30 on a planet that has twice the acceleration of gravity as Earth to achieve the same range? Consider launch and impact on a horizontal surface.
A small plane flies 40.0 km in a direction 60 north of east and then files 30.0 km in a direction 15 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the total distance the plane covers from the starting point and the direction of the path to the final position.
A clod of dirt falls from the bed of a moving thick. It strikes the ground directly below the end of the truck. (a) What is the direction of its velocity relative to the truck just before it hits? (b) Is this the same as the direction of its velocity relative to ground just before it hits? Explain your answer.
A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 20.0 below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 3.00 s later. (a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? Find the height from which the ball was thrown. How long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching?
A Lockheed Martin F-35 II lighting jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 90 m and a takeoff speed 70 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35’s acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 5.0m/s2 at 30 with respect to the horizontal. (a) What is the initial acceleration of the F-35 on the deck of the aircraft carrier to make it airborne? (b) Write the position and velocity of the F-35 in unit vector notation from the point it leaves the deck of the aircraft carrier. (c) At what altitude is the fighter 5.0 s after it leaves the deck of the aircraft carrier? (d) What is its velocity and speed at this time? (e) How far has it traveled horizontally?
Aaron Rodgers throws a football at 20.0 m/s to his wide receiver, who runs straight down the field at 9.4 m/s for 20.0 m. If Aaron throws the football when the wide receiver has reached 10.0 m, what angle does Aaron have to launch the ball so the receiver catches it at the 20.0 m mark?
A daredevil is shot out of a cannon at 45.0 to the horizontal with an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. A net is positioned a horizontal distance of 50.0 m from the cannon. At what height above the cannon should the net be placed in order to catch the daredevil?
A golfer is teeing off on a 170.0m long par 3 hole. The ball leaves with a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 50.0 degrees above the horizon. Assuming that she hits the ball on a direct path to the hole, how far from the hole will the ball land (no bounces or rolls)? Include a drawing and all steps. Use the projectile motion equations.
A projectile fired from a gun at the angle 75.0 degrees above the horizontal direction has an initial velocity equal to 35m/s. A- what are the vertical and horizontal components of the acceleration of the projectile? B- what is the maximum height the projectile will travel too? C- how far away the projectile will hit the ground?
The boy strikes the ball at an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal. Determine the flight time, the horizontal displacement, and the height of the ball's projectile peak.
