The diagram below depicts two boys on the same side of a field. They run towards they friend on the opposite side of the field. The velocity of boy 1 is 10 m.s', at 30° with the horizontal while that of boy 2 is 6 m.s, at 70 with the horizontal. Assume the boys velocities do not change as they run towards their friend. Which one of the boys will reach they friend first. Explain. end

An athlete whose event is the shot put releases the shot with the sameinitial velocity but at different angles. The figure shows the parabolic paths for shots released at angles of 35° and 65°. Solve the following based on the functions that model the parabolic paths. When the shot whose path is shown by the red graph is released at an angle of 65°, its height, g(x), in feet, can be modeled by g(x) = -0.04x2 + 2.1x + 6.1, where x is the shot’s horizontal distance, in feet, from its point of release. Use this model to solve the below parts (a) through (c) and verify your answers using the red graph. a. What is the maximum height, to the nearest tenth of a foot, of the shot and how far from its point of release does this occur? b. What is the shot’s maximum horizontal distance, to the nearest tenth of a foot, or the distance of the throw? c. From what height was the shot released?
A basketball player made a smooth shot as shown in the diagram below. The ball was launched at an initial velocity of 8.2 meters per second at an angle of 72 degrees to the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. (a) How much time, in seconds, does it take the ball to reach point B? (b) What is the final velocity of the ball, in meters per second, at point B? (c) What is the value of x (the horizontal distance between the initial position of the ball and the center of the ring), in meters?
Read and analyze the problem below then solve. Show a complete solution with illustration. 1. The range R of a projectile fired at an acute angle e with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of v meters per second is given by R=V²/g sin20 where g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/sec² near the Earth's surface. An archer targets an object 100 meters away from her position. If she positions her arrow at an angle of 32° and releases the arrow at the speed of 30 m/sec. will she hit her target? (Show your calculations.)
Can you help me answer this? Solve separately by letter and explain how you get the answer. Thank you. About projectile motion.

An air cannon shoots an 8 lb pumpkin with an initial velocity of 68 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. Calculate in any order: How much time does the pumpkin spend in the air (the total time)? How far does it go (the range)? What is its maximum height? Explain, what key assumption(s) do you make, and how would your answers be different if they are not true?
A certain physics problem about projectile motion has several parts, as listed in the questions below. For each, write out what variables (y, vy, ay, t, x, vx, etc) need to be solved for in each part, and at what event or condition, also expressed using symbols and/or known values. For example: “Find ______ (variable) when _______ (variable) equals ________.” How long until the projectile hits the ground? How far has the projectile travelled horizontally, when it hits the ground? What is the projectile’s speed the moment before ithits the ground? What is the projectile’s direction (angle) of flight, just before hitting the ground? How long until the projectile reaches its maximum altitude? What is that maximum altitude? How long until the projectile reaches a wall/building standing 100 m away (horizontally)?
Background: In the diagram, a riverboat is shown starting at position A on the east bank of a river. The boat heads towards position B (a point directly across the river from A) with a speed of 3.8 m/s. But because of a current with a speed of 1.8 m/s, the boat lands on the west bank of the river at position C, a location downstream from B. The width of the river (dacross) is 86.4 meters. What is the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the boat? What is the direction of the resultant velocity of the boat? What is the time required for the boat to cross the 86.4 m wide river? Location C is the location where the boat ultimately lands on the opposite shore. What is the distance from location B to location C?
Please don't provide handwritten solution.... An artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 47.5° above the horizontal. To clear an avalanche, it explodes on a mountainside 44.0 s after firing. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to its firing point? x = m y = m
Could you please help me to A) find the magnitude of the initial velocity of the baseball, B) Find the magnitude of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building, and C) Find the direction of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building (expressed in degrees below the horizontal). Thank you so much! I don't even know how to begin.
Consider the trajectory diagram shown below for a non-horizontally launched projectile. On the diagram, draw vector arrows representing the vx and vy velocity components during the course of the motion. The length of the arrows should represent the magnitude of the velocity components. Label each component. (Note that the velocity components are already shown for the first position.)
