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?
A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his forks handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 8.25 m/s at an angle of 75.0 above the table. With what speed does the pea strike the ceiling 2.00 in above the table?
An airplane maintains a speed of 630 km/h relative to the air it is flying through, as it makes a trip to a city 750 km away to the north. (a) What time interval is required for the trip if the plane flies through a headwind blowing at 35.0 km/h toward the south? (b) What time interval is required if there is a tailwind with the same speed? (c) What time interval is required if there is a crosswind blowing at 35.0 km/h to the east relative to the ground?
A projectile is launched from the point (x = 0, y = 0), with velocity (12.0i19.0j)m/s2, at t = 0. (a) Make a table listing the projectiles distance r from the origin at the end of each second thereafter, for 0 t 10 s. Tabulating the x and y coordinates and the components of velocity vx and vy will also be useful. (b) Notice that the projectiles distance from its starting point increases with time, goes through a maximum, and starts to decrease. Prove that the distance is a maximum when the position vector is perpendicular to the velocity. Suggestion: Argue that if v is not perpendicular to r, then r must lie increasing or decreasing. (c) Determine the magnitude of the maximum displacement. (d) Explain your method for solving part (c).
By throwing a ball at an angle of 45, a girl can throw the ball a maximum horizontal distance R on a level field. How far can she throw the tame ball vertically upward? Assume her muscles give the ball the same speed in each case. (Is this assumption valid?)
A projectile is launched at an angle of 30 and lands 20 s later at the same height as it was launched. (a) What is the initial speed of the projectile? (b) What is the maximum altitude? (c) What is the range? (d) Calculate the displacement from the point of launch to the position on its trajectory at 15 s.
A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100. m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.
A projectile is fired up an incline (incline angle ) with an initial speed vi at an angle i with respect to the horizontal (i ) as shown in Figure P3.46. (a) Show that the projectile travels a distance d up the incline, where d=2vi2cosisin(i)gcos2 (b) For what value of i is d a maximum, and what is that maximum value?
Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance (the initial angle being neither 0° nor 90°) (a) Is the velocity ever zero? (b) When is the velocity a minimum? A maximum? (c) Can the velocity ever be the same as the initial velocity at a time other than at t=0 ? (d) Can the speed ever be the same as the initial speed at a time other than at t=0 ?
Prove that the trajectory of a projectile is parabolic, having the form y=ax+bx2. To obtain this expression, solve the equation x=v0xt for t and substitute it into the expression for y=v0yt(1/2)gt2 (These equations describe the x and y positions of a projectile that starts at the origin.) You should obtain an equation of the form y=ax+bx2 where a and b are constants.
A football receiver running straight downfield at 5.50 m/s is 10.0 m in front of the quarterback when a pass is thrown downfield at 25.0 above the horizon (Fig. P3.58). If the receiver never changes speed and the ball is caught at the same height from which it was thrown, find (a) the footballs initial speed, (b) the amount of time the football spends in the air, and (c) the distance between the quarterback and the receiver when the catch is made.
