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?
For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (closer to the horizontal) is preferable. When would it be necessary for the archer to use the larger angle? Why does the punter in a football game use the higher trajectory?
A projectile is fired from the top of a cliff of height h above the ocean below. The projectile is fired at an angle above the horizontal and with an initial speed vi. (a) Find a symbolic expression in terms of the variables vi, g, and for the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. (b) Using the result of part (a), find an expression for the maximum height hmax above the ocean attained by the projectile in terms of h, vi, g, and .
The libero receives a serve, and as he passes to their setter, the volleyball leaves his hand at point A with a velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 62° from the horizontal. The setter is to touch the ball overhead at point B, 1.4 meters above point A. Neglect the effects of air resistance. what is the time it takes for the ball to reach point B from point A? what is the distance ? at which the setter should position himself?
One of the most dramatic videos on the web (but entirely fictitious) supposedly shows a man sliding along a long water slide and then being launched into the air to land in a water pool. Let’s attach some reasonable numbers to such a flight to calculate the velocity with which the man would have hit the water. it indicates the launch and landing sites and includes a superimposed coordinate system with its origin conveniently located at the launch site. From the video we take the horizontal flight distance as D= 20.0 m, the flight time as t = 2.50 s, and the launch angle as 0 =40.0°. Find the magnitude of the velocity at launch and at landing.
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
A ball is thrown from a building's upper-story window. At an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal, the ball is given an initial velocity of 10.00m/s. It hits the ground after 5.00seconds.

(c) How long does it take the ball to travel 10.0 meters below the level of launch?
During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. The figure shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan.

Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of flight?

A projectile is launched with speed v at an angle of ?2 above the horizontal going to a maximum height NH=4.08 H.The projectile is then launched with the same initial speed but an angle of ?1 above the horizontal going to a maximum height H.Please derive the ratio of the total time of flight of the projectile as the time for launch at angle ?2 to that time at angle ?1.
An archer fires an arrow at a target that is a horizontal distance d = 55 m away; the bull’s-eye of the target is at same height as the release height of the arrow. 1. At what angle, in degrees above the horizontal, must the arrow be released to hit the bull’s-eye if the arrow's initial speed is 35 m/s?
