A projectile is lauched from the ground level with an velocity of v^0 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, it's height in feet t seconds after launch is given by s=-16t^2+ v^0t. Find the time(s) that the projectile will (a) reach height a height of 80 ft and (b) return to the ground when v^0=96 feet per second.
A projectile fired is fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at an angle of 42.2o above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine (a) the maximum height reached by the projectile, (b) the total time in the air, (c) the total horizontal distance covered (that is, the range), and (d) the speed of the projectile 1.50 s after firing
If someone is riding in the back of a pickup thick and throws a softball straight backward, is it possible for the ball to fall straight down as viewed by a person standing at the side of the road? Under what condition would this occur? How would the motion of the ball appear to the person who threw it?
A boat crosses a river of width 225 m in whichthe current has a uniform speed of 1.35 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.92 m/s relative to the water.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a stationary shore observer?Answer in units of m/s. How far downstream from the initial positionis the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?Answer in units of m
The bullet was ejected from a muzzle of the gun with a velocity of 270m/s and is directed vertically upward. When the bullet reaches its maximum height, its velocity is zero. TRUE OR FALSE

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop
To decide who pays for lunch, a passengeron a moving train tosses a coin straight upward with an initialspeed of 5.25 m>s and catches it again when it returns to its initial level. From the point of view of the passenger, then, the coin’sinitial velocity is 15.25 m>s 2yn . The train’s velocity relative to theground is 112.1 m>s2xn . (a) What is the minimum speed of the coinrelative to the ground during its flight? At what point in the coin’sflight does this minimum speed occur? Explain. (b) Find the initial speed and direction of the coin as seen by an observer on theground. (c) Use the expression for ymax derived in Example 4-14 tocalculate the maximum height of the coin, as seen by an observeron the ground. (d) What is the maximum height of the coin fromthe point of view of the passenger, who sees only one-dimensionalmotion?
A projectile is fired horizontally with speed v0 from the top of a cliff of height h. Itimmediately enters a fixed tube with length x, as shown in Figure. There is friction between the projectileand the tube, the effect of which is to make the projectile decelerate with constant acceleration ax. After theprojectile leaves the tube, it undergoes normal projectile motion down to the ground. Calculate the totalhorizontal distance, l, that the projectile travels. (g=9.8 m/s2) v0=5.5m/s ax=-2.5m/s2 x=4.5m h=12m

A golf ball struck on earth rises to a maximum height of 60 m and hits the ground 230 m away. How high will the same golf ball travel on the moon if the magnitude and direction of its velocity are the same as they were on earth immediately after the ball was hit? Assume that the ball is hit and lands at the same elevation in both cases and that the effect of the atmosphere on the earth is neglected, so that the trajectory in both cases is a parabola. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 0.165 times that on earth.
Suppose a cannon, placed on a cart moving at 2 meters per second with negligible friction in the wheel bearings, projects a cannonball straight up in the air. What is the initial horizontal velocity of the ball projected upward from the cart as seen by an observer in the laboratory? What is the velocity of the ball at its highest point and a few moments later when it lands on the floor?
