In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity of ~v(0) =< 40, 35, 32 > ft/sec. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/sec2 due to gravity, i.e., ~a(t) =< 0, 0, −32 >, and that the vector ~i points down fieldtoward the endzone and that the vector ~j points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it isthrown. (b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the player in bounds or out ofbounds when he receives the ball? (Assume the player is standing vertically with bothtoes on the ground at the time of reception.)
An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)
reverse the order of the twolegs of the walk; show that you get the same final result. Thatis, you first walk leg B , which is 20.0 m in a direction exactly40º south of west, and then leg A , which is 12.0 m in adirection exactly 20º west of north. (This problem shows thatA + B = B + A .)

Do not solve the full qn My question is why is the vector VAot = 1.5 and VAon =-2.6 as shown in the solution. I understand VAot is = -3cos30=-1.5 and VAon = -3sin30 =-2.6 Why is it postive 1.5 instead of negative 1.5 or for VAon why isit negative 2.6 and not positive 2.6? Why is Vb1t = -0.866 and not 0.866 and Vb1n = -0.5 and not 0.5. I dont get it how to visualise the vector direction. Please use a vector diagram with the angles to illustrate it.
