A football is punted from the ground, it passes through the apex of its flight, and it begins its downward decent. When its height above the field is h = 2.5m, the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity are observed to have the values v(horizontal) = 15 m/s and v(vertical) = 2.5 m/s, respectively. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located ar the inital position of the football. Ignore air resistance. Calculare the time, in seconds, from when the football left the ground until it is descending at a height of h = 2.5m.
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the ball in the air for, in seconds?
A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 154 feet and explode at an apex of 191 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle θ = 56° above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed v0 for the shells, the separation distance d between the launch points A and B, and the time t from the launch at which the shells explode.
