There is a mortar that is firing on soldiers who are approaching up the hill towards the mortar. The mortar is angled at an angle of theta = 66.0 degrees and is fired with a initial velocity of 153ft/s. How far down the hill does the shell strick if the hill subtends an angle phi = 35.0 from the horizontal? Ignore air friction. How long will the mortar shell remain in the air? How fast will the shell be traveling when it hits the ground?

A 600 gg model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 2.5 m/sm/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exerts a 8.0 NN vertical thrust on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket pass through a small horizontal hoop that is 20 mm above the launch point. At what horizontal distance left of the hoop should you launch?
Messi is keeping his free-kick skills sharp this quarantine by playing football with his neighbour's monkey.From the roof of his house, which is 7 meters above the ground, he kicks a ball horizontally towards his neighbour'shouse, which is 6 meters away and also has a roof that is 7m above the ground. At the same instance, his neighbour'spet monkey drops off the ledge of his roof to try to catch the ball. Please ignore air resistance, and take g=9.81m/s2 If Messi kicks the ball with the minimum required speed; at what time (in seconds) after the kick is the monkey able to catch the ball?The minimum speed (in m/s) is 5.023.
The average thrust created by the first stage engine of a model rocket is 50N. The rocket has an average weight of 10N with a burn time of 2 seconds. The rocket is initially fired vertically upward. When the rocket reaches maximum height, a second engine is fired creating a horizontal velocity (only) of 50m/s. Where does the rocket land relative to its launch point? Assume it was launched on a horizontal plain.
A skier starts at the top of a very large frictionless snowball, with a very small initial speed, and skis straight down the side. At what angle (what point) does she lose contact with the snowball and fly off at a tangent ? That is, at the instant she loses contact with the snowball, what angle a does a radial line from the center of the snowball to the skier make with the vertical ?
A bolt gun contains a spring of spring constant k = 11 N/m which is used to shoot a bolt of mass m. The bolt leaves the gun at a speed of v = 5.4 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm.What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the bolt? What is the bolt’s speed when it hits the floor vf, in m/s, if it is fired horizontally at a height of h = 2 meters? What angle, θ in degrees, does the bolt's final velocity make with the horizontal?
The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?
Spectators watch a bicycle stunt rider travel off the end of a 57.5° ramp, rise to the top of her trajectory and, at that instant, suddenly push her bike horizontally away from her so that she falls vertically straight down, reaching the ground 0.525 s later. How far (in m) from the rider does the bicycle land if the rider has a mass mrider = 58.4 kg and the bike has a mass mbike = 14.5 kg? Neglect air resistance and assume the ground is level. ?m
In the winter sport of bobsledding, athletes push their sled along a horizontal ice surface and then hop on the sled as it starts to careen down the steeply sloped track. In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 9.0 ∘∘.
For some reason, a dart gun (mass = 1.50 kg) is hanging from a very long string attached to the ceiling. The dart gun holds one dart (mass = 0.3500 kg). A remote control activates the gun, and the dart is shot outwards, completely horizontally with a speed of 20.0 m/s. What is the maximum height to which the gun will swing after the dart is shot?
A 560 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 3.0 m/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exerts a 8.0 N vertical thrust on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket pass through a small horizontal hoop that is 20 m above the launch point. At what horizontal distance left of the loop should you launch?
The Zacchini family was renowned for their human- cannonball act in which a family member was shot from a cannon using either elastic bands or compressed air. In one version of the act, Emanuel Zacchini was shot over three Ferris wheels to land in a net at the same height as the open end of the cannon and at a range of 69 m. He was propelled inside the barrel for 5.2 m and launched at an angle of 53. If his mass was 85 kg and he underwent constant acceleration inside the barrel, what was the magnitude of the force propelling him? (Hint: Treat the launch as though it were along a ramp at 53. Neglect air drag.)
