Let's say the launch speed is constant, but you can adjust the launch angle, and again we will deal with the special case where the landing point is at the same vertical level as the launch point. In this case, which launch angle will produce the maximum range? 45 degrees, angle less than 45 degrees, angle greater than 45 degrees, or does it depend?
What is the horizontal distance covered by a shotput if it has an initial velocity of 23 m/s at an angle of 44 degrees relative to horizontal with an initial height of release of 2.2 meters?
A projectile launched at an angle "theta" to the horizontal reaches a maximum height h. Show that its horizontal range is 4h/tan(theta).
A projectile is fired from a cliff 300mhigh with an initial velocity of 400 m/s. If the firing angle is 300from the horizontal, compute the horizontal range of the projectile. (Ans. 15.74km)
A longbowman launches arrows at 50 m/s. Assuming that the firing is done at 45 degrees from the horizontal and that there is no air resistance, what is the gained improvement in maximal range to ground targets when he fires from the skirt wall (height=10m), secondary wall (height=20m), and keep (height=30m) of a medieval castle? What if the castle is built on a hill of height 100m?
A ball is to be shot from level ground toward a wall at distancex shows the y component vy of theball’s velocity just as it would reach the wall, as a function of that distance x. The scaling is set by vys = 5.0 m/s xs = 20 m. m/s and Whatis the launch angle?
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angleof 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot?
A projectile is shot from a top of a building 96 feet high from a gun at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. If the muzzle speed is 1600 ft/sec, A. Find the time of flight and the distance from the base of the building to the point where the projectile lands.
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.
A target lies a distance R = 1100 m from a cannon across level ground, and a distance d = 780 m behind a wall h = 400 m tall. If the cannon shoots projectiles with speed 160 m/s, at what angle should the cannon fire so as to hit the target over the wall?
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in theshot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speedof the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw itat an angle of 38.0º above the horizontal? (Although themaximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achievedat 45º when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle toachieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38º will give alonger range than 45º in the shot put.)
An airplane flies horizontally above the flat surface of a desert at an altitude of 5 km and a speed of 915 km/h. If the airplane is to drop a care package that issupposed to hit a target on the ground, where should the plane be with respect to the target when the package is released? (Enter the horizontal distance between theplane and the target.) If the target covers a circular area with a diameter of 45 m, what is the "window of opportunity" (or margin of error allowed) for the release time?
