Question 2: Two kids, John and Jane, are throwing two identical tennis balls up off a balcony at a 45° angle at the same time. John is able to give the ball an initial velocity twice as much as what Jane is able to. Will the two balls reach the ground at the same time? Will they land at the same distance away from the balcony? Explain your answers.

A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
As some molten metal splashes, one droplet flies off to the east with initial velocity vi at angle i above the horizontal, and another droplet flies off to the west with the same speed at the same angle above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.40. In terms of vi and i, find the distance between the two droplets as a function of time. Figure P4.40
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?
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, |vx| (the magnitude of the x-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne.
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 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? (Answer in Degrees) What other angle gives the same range? (Answer in Degrees) For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air? (answer in Seconds)
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 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 stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
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, its speed is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne.
A movie stunt driver on a motorcycle can fly over a wide ditch with certain angle and initial speed. However, if he speeds horizontally, will he crosses this ditch? Consider his motion as projectile, and the two sides of ditch have equal altitude. Yes, he will if his initial velocity is big enough No, theoretically he will never cross this ditch It depends on the weather condition It depends on how powerful of his motorcycle Is it 1,2,3, or 4
Do the d part In a cricket match, a batsman hits a ball at an angle of 36o from the horizontal with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s. Assuming that the ball moves in a vertical plane, find (a) the time at which the ball reaches the highest point of its trajectory, (b) its maximum height, (c) its time of flight and range, and (d) its velocity when it strikes the ground
