In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
A projectile is shot at ahill, the base of which is 300 m away. Theprojectile is shot at 60°above the horizontalwith an initial speed of 75 m/s. The hill can beapproximated by a plane sloped at to thehorizontal. Relative to the coordinate systemshown in the following figure, the equation ofthis straight line is y= (tan 20°) x−109 in SIunits. Where on the hill does the projectileland? How long does the trip take?
Dominador, who is standing on the edge of an 80-m tall cliff facing the sea, kicks a ball horizontally at a speed of 13.01 m/s. How far from the base of the cliff will the ball hit the sea water? Let be the initial vertic
A Tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground at an angle 5º above the horizontal. The horizontal distance to the net is 7.0 m and the net is 1.0m high. What is the minimum initial speed, vi, needed to clear the net? (Hint: this is like the problem done in the handout, but since we don’t know the initial speed, we have to find horizontal and vertical components and the time symbolically and carry that through.) Im so confused and don't know where to start...
A projectile is fired at an angle of 34.5 degrees with an initial velocity of 62.5 m/s. What is it's initial vertical and horizontal velocity? What is it's maximum height? What is the total time? What is its horizontal range?
An astronaut on Mars kicks a soccer ball at an angle 45 ̊of with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. If theacceleration of gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s2, (a) what is the range of the soccer kick on a flat surface? (b) What would be the range of the same kick on the Moon, where gravity is one sixth that of Earth?
Problem 1: A cannon ball has been shot from a 10 height with an initial velocity of 15m/s, what is the horizontal distance from which it land? What is its time of flight?Problem 2: A man has been use to fire a cannon with an initial speed of 15 m/s at anangle of 42 degrees from the horizontal surface. What is the maximum heigh the manwas able to reach? What is the range of the man where the canon was shot? What isthe total flight of the man?What is the conclusion?
You are really angry at your family, and in your frustration you decide you are going tothrow the pizza you bought for dinner onto the roof of your house. You are 6 metersfrom the house and the roof of the house is 3 meters above the ground. Assuming youtoss the pizza from ground level with an initial speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 60° (abovethe horizontal), how far onto the roof does the pizza land? Assume the roof is flat. Giveyour answer to 2 significant figures
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angleof 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot?
On the shores of southern Maryland, Calvert Cliffs contain a 30m drop. a) If instead the rock were thrown at an angle of 15° below the horizontal at a speed of 10m/s: i) How fast will it be travelling when it strikes the water? ii) What horizontal distance into the water will it travel from the base of the cliff?
A person on a cliff throws a ball with an initial velocity of 30.4 m/s at an angle of 51.40 above the horizontal. If the initial height of the ball, compared to it impact location is, Y = 17.4 m, what is the maximum height it obtains, and where does it land? (find both as measured from the base of the cliff)
A projectile is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 30 m/s in thehorizontal direction. If the top of the building is 30 m above the ground, a) how long isthe projectile in the air? b) With what speed and angle will the projectile be moving justbefore it strikes the ground? (Hint: final speed = 38.6 m/s)
