The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him to move quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0° the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.32 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is 2.10 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he does.) Number 15.0 m/s 50.0⁰ Units 10.0 m 2.10 m

Vhas Thed is standing on a bridge. He is at a height 83.6 m above the water below. Suddenly he received a call from his cell phone that makes him mad and throws his phone horizontally off the bridge with a speed of 25.7 m/s. How far does the cell phone travel horizontally before hitting the water? Draw an Illustration.
A boy wishes to throw a ball over a flat roofed school house that stands 12 m wide and 7.5 m high on level ground. Assuming that the ball will leave his hand at a height of 5 m above the ground,determine how far from the wall he should take his hand in order to make the ball clear the roof with least effort, that is, with minimum velocity.
A tennis ball is hit upward into the air and moves along an arc. Neglecting airresistance, where along the arc is the speed of the ball (a) a minimum and (b)a maximum?
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A 2.00-m-tall basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket, as in the figure below. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal, at what initial speed must he throw the basketball so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? The height of the basket is 3.05 m.
When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce, on the theory that the ball arrives at its target sooner that way. Suppose that, after the bounce, the ball rebounds at the same angle θ that it had when it was released (as in Fig. P3.48), but loses half its speed, (a) Assuming that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle θ should the ball be thrown in order to go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upward at 45.0° with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the times for the one-bounce and no-bounce throws.
A shot putter launches a 7.260 kg shot by pushing it along a straight line of length 1.650 m and at an angle of 34.10° from the horizontal, accelerating the shot to the launch speed from its initial speed of 2.500 m/s (which is due to the athlete’s preliminary motion).The shot leaves the hand at a height of 2.110 m and at an angle of 34.10, and it lands at a horizontal distance of 15.90 m.What is the magnitude of the athlete’s average force on the shot during the acceleration phase? (Hint: Treat the motion during the acceleration phase as though it were along a ramp at the given angle.)

t In an Internet video an athlete launches a basketballfrom a stadium platform that is 16.2 m higher than the hoop. Hemakes the basket by launching the ball at an angle of 14.5° abovehorizontal with a speed of 11.6 m>s. What horizontal distancedoes the ball travel before passing through the hoop?
The initial speed of the ball is v0 = 22.2 m/s, the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 43o, and g = 8.4. How far away does the ball hit the ground?
A group of collegiate golfers invent a game where they have to hit a golf ball up to the roof of a building that is about 23.76 m tall. The hole is 3.3 m away from the edge of the roof (label this in the figure). The roof is perfectly level all the way across. a) Isabella strikes the ball causing it to launch from the ground with an initial velocity of 22.70 m/s and at an angle of θ = 72.00 . Is it possible for Isabella to make her shot to the roof? Ignore wind resistance for part (a). b) Assuming that Isabella’s shot from part (a) made it to the roof and the shot is line up to go into the hole that is 3.30 m away from the edge of the roof. The golf ball has a mass of 45.93 g, and experiences a friction force of f=0.133 N. If the ball’s speed is larger than 5.90 m/s when at the hole it will be moving too fast and not go in. Will Isabella’s shot go into the hole? Explain why she does make or does not make it in the hole.
