A ball is thrown with speed 9.0 m/s at a 38.0° angle above the horizontalfrom the top of a building. If it lands 40.0 m from the base of the building, then find the height of the building.
I hit a baseball into a pop fly at 41 m/s at a 60 degree angle from horizontal. (Level ground, Earth {g=10m/s^2} How far away does it land?
A baseball is hit 1.3 m above home plate. The bat sends it off at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal at a speed of 45.0 m/s. The outfield fence is 100 m away and 11.3 m high. Does the ball clear the fence?
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the maximum altitude of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
Starting at the island of Moi in an unknown archipelago, a fishing boat makes a round trip with two stops at the islands of Noi and Poi. It sails from Moi for 4.76 nautical miles (nmi) in a direction 37 north of east to Noi. From Noi, it sails 69 west of north to Poi. On its return leg from Poi, it sails 28 east of south. What distance does the boat sail between Noi and Poi? What distance does it sail between Moi and Poi? Express your answer both in nautical miles and in kilometei. Note: 1 nmi = 1852m.
In a later chapter, you will find that the weight of a particle varies with altitude such that w=mgr02r2where r0is the radius of Earth and ris the distance from Earth’s center. If the particle is fired vertically with velocity v0from Earth’s surface, determine its velocity as a function of position r. (Hint: use adr=vdv, the rearrangement mentioned in the text.)
A strong softball player smacks the ball at a height of 0.7 m above home plate. The ball leaves the players bat at an elevation angle of 35 and travels toward a fence 2 m high and 60 m away in center field. What must the initial speed of the softball be to clear the center field fence? Ignore air resistance.
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?)
27.3 m / s is both the vertical and horizontal speed of the ball just left the hand. The speed is 39 m / s.
A projectile is fired from a point 50 meter from a tall cliff at 75 m/sec and at angle of 50 degrees above the horizontal. It will strike the cliff at a point h above the cliff base. What is h? What is the final speed of the projectile when it hits the cliff in the problem above?
a quarterback throws a ball with a velocity of 50ft/s at an angle 40 above the horizontal towards an open receiver who is 30yd away. The pass is released 5.0 ft above the ground. Assume the receiver is stationary and will catch the ball if it reaches him. Will it be a complete pass? If not will it fall short or ''fly'' to the receiver?
I hit a baseball into a pop fly at 41 m/s at a 60 degree angle from horizontal. (Level ground, Earth {g=10m/s^2}, How far away does it land? How high does it go?
