Give an example of a trajectory in two or three dimensions caused by independent perpendicular motions.
Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance, with the initial angle being neither 0 nor 90 : (a) Is the acceleration ever zero? (b) Is the vector v ever parallel or antiparallel to the vector a? (c) Is the vector v ever perpendicular to the vector a? If so, where is this located?
A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? Figure P3.16
In the figure, a ball is thrown leftward from the left edge of the roof, at height h above the ground. The ball hits the ground 1.40 s later, at distance d = 27.0 m from the building and at angle θ = 66.0° with the horizontal. (a) Find h. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if on videotape.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle relative to the horizontal of the velocity at which the ball is thrown (positive angle for above horizontal, negative for below)? I just need (c) solved. The answer is not 56.10 degrees.
A cannon launches a cannonball from level ground with an initial speed of 80 m/s at an angle of 280 above the horizontal. What horizontal distance does the cannonball travel when the cannonball returns to the ground? Given the same initial velocity of launch, at what other angle above the ground can the cannonball be fired and achieve the same horizontal range as before? (Assume that g = 9.81 m/s2.) a. Range = 540 m, and angle = 420 above the horizontal b. Range = 600 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal c. Range = 270 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal d. Range = 540 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal e. Range = 270 m, angle = 420 above the horizontal
Consider a projectile launched form ground level at an angle of elevation with an initial velocity . The maximum horizontal range is given by xmax=(v 2/0 sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the problem: If a soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 28 m/sec, what is the smallest positive angle at which the player should kick the ball to reach a teammate 48m down the field? Assume that the ball reaches the teammate at ground level on the fly. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
A ball is shot from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 18 m/s at an angle θ = 43° above the horizontal. If a nearby building is the same height and 61 m away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? ( Choose upward as the positive y-direction and express the displacement with the sign of the result, which must be in units of meters and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.80 m/s2.)
ANSWER THE LETTER D, E, AND F ONLY From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 6.50 m/s and angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 4.00 s later. (a) If the base of the building is taken to be the origin of the coordinates, with upward the positive y-direction, what are the initial coordinates of the ball? (b) With the positive x-direction chosen to be out the window, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity. (c) Find the equations for the x- and y-components of the position as functions of time. (d) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? (e) Find the height from which the ball was thrown. (f) How long does it take the ball to reach a point 12.0 m below the level of launching?
As a projectile moves in its path, is there any point along the path where the velocity and acceleration vectors are (a) perpendicular to each other? (b) Parallel to each other?
Two projectiles are thrown with the same initial speed, one at an angle u with respect to the level ground and the other at angle 90° − θ. Both projectiles strike the ground at the same distance from the projection point. Are both projectiles in the air for the same length of time?
Suppose you take two steps and (that is, two nonzero displacements). Under what circumstances can you end up at your starting point? More generally, under what circumstances can two nonzero vectors add to give zero? Is the maximum distance you can end up from the starting point A+B the sum of the lengths of the two steps?
You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building with a velocity v at an angle ? with respect to the horizontal. Let the building be 54.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be 8.60 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 12.5 m/s. Choose your coordinates such that the positive y-axis is upward, and the x-axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where the ball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball's maximum height above the ground and the time it takes to reach the maximum height. maximum height above ground m time to reach maximum height s (b) Repeat your calculations choosing the origin at the base of the building. maximum height above ground m time to reach maximum height s
