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 .
Suppose you throw a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree and the rock just misses the coconut on the way up but hits the coconut on the way down. Neglecting air resistance and the slight horizontal variation in motion to account for the hit and miss of the coconut, how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it had hit the coconut on the way up? Is it more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.
A roller coaster moves 2.00 102 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0 below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coasters displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.
A dart gun is fired while being held horizontally at a height of 1.00 m above ground level and while it is at rest relative to the ground. The dart from the gun travels a horizontal distance of 5.00 m. A college student holds the same gun in a horizontal position while sliding down a 45.0 incline at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s. How far w ill the dart travel if the student fires the gun when it is 1.00 m above the ground?
In the absence of air resistance, a projectile launched at an angle of 28 above the horizontal will have the same range as a projectile launched at which of the following angles? (2.5) (a) 45 (b) 57 (c) 62 (d) 180 33 = 147
A projectile was fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 20 m/s. The same projectile was fired a second time with the sane initial speed of 20 m/s but at a different angle such that the height attained by the projectile in the second launch is one half of the horizontal distance covered by the projectile in the first launch. At what angle was the projectile launched second time?
Consider a projectile launched with an initial velocity of 25.2m/s at an angle of θ0=30.9∘ above horizontal from level ground. After traveling a horizontal distance d=37.1m, it strikes a high cliff at a height hh above the original launch height. The impact angle, θ, may be above or below horizontal, depending upon whether or not the projectile has passed the apex of its flight. Use the Cartesian coordinate system provided in the drawing with the origin at the initial position of the projectile. Assume that air resistance is negligible. Part (d) What is the impact angle, in degrees measured counterclockwise from positive x, at which the projectile strikes the cliff? Your answer will satisfy θ∈(−90∘,90∘)

The impact angle, θ, may be above or below horizontal, depending upon whether or not the projectile has passed the apex of its flight. Use the Cartesian coordinate system provided in the drawing with the origin at the initial position of the projectile. Assume that air resistance is negligible. Part (a) How much time elapses, in seconds, from the moment the projectile is launched until it strikes the cliff? Part (b) At what height above the initial position, in meters, does the projectile strike the cliff? Part (c) What is the speed of the projectile, in meters per second, as it strikes the cliff? Part (d) What is the impact angle, in degrees measured counterclockwise from positive xxx, at which the projectile strikes the cliff?…
the shells fired drom and artillery piece have a muzzle speed of 240m/s and the target is at a horizontal distance of 1.40 km two possible angles can be used to hit the target find the smaller angle relative to the horizontal at which the gun should be aimed? (hint: sin2theta= 2sin theta cos theta)
You toss a ball horizontally at 9 m/s about 1.2 m above the ground towards a dog who is sitting 3.5 m away. • What height will the dog’s mouth need to be at to catch the ball (if the dog only jumps vertically)?• How fast (and in what direction) will the ball be traveling when the dog catches it?• Include a sketch of the situation (with a coordinate system).
A student fires several projectiles from a 45 degree angle of elevation. 1) at the given angle of elevation what would the range be for a projectile with a speed of 30 m/s 2) at the given angle of elevation what would the range be for a projectile with a speed of 40 m/s 3) at the given angle of elevation what would the range be for a projectile with a speed of 50 m/s
Which will take longer to land, a ball launched horizontally at a certain velocity, or a ball dropped (with no initial velocity) from the same height as the one launched? Support your explanation with proper physics equation
