Scenario: A toy rocket is launched straight upward from a pad 10 ft above ground level with an initial velocity of 80 ft/sec. Use the general formula for the vertical position (height) of an object moving under the influence of gravity where s0 is the initial vertical position, v0 is the initial velocity, and s is the vertical position of the object. Calculate the time(s) at which the rocket is at a height of 40 ft. (Round to 1 decimal place.) Is this the maximum height the rocket will reach? Justify your response.
During Shaun White's Gold medal run he reached a peak height of 5.6 meters above the halfpipe. If his takeoff angle was 65 degrees above the horizontal and he landed 1.4 meters lower than when he left the halfpipe answer the following questions. 1-What was the magnitude of his initial resultant velocity? 2-How long was he in the air? 3-How far did he travel horizontally down the halfpipe (assume that his horizontal velocity is directed down the halfpipe)?
You’ll now apply the horizontal launch to a car accident example. In this scenario, a car driver named Joshua Horton says he was driving at the speed limit of 45 mph when he hit an icy patch and drove through a guard rail of the 15 m tall bridge, before landing 24 m from the base of the bridge. Tes1ng shows that driving through the guard rail lowers a car’s speed by 10 m/s. QUESTION 3: Given the distance that the car landed from the bridge, determine what speed Joshua was actually driving before leaving the bridge. Was he telling the truth or lying? Show your calcula1ons here.
The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is81.1 m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the UnitedStates in 1981. Assuming the initial launch angle was 45°and neglecting air resistance, determine (a) the initial speedof the projectile and (b) the total time the projectile was inflight. (c) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if thelaunch angle were greater than 45°? Explain.
Problem For a projectile lunched with an initial velocity of v0 at an angle of θ (between 0 and 90o) , a) derive the general expression for maximum height hmax and the horizontal range R. b) For what value of θ gives the highest maximum height? Solution The components of v0 are expressed as follows: vinitial-x = v0cos(θ) vinitial-y = v0sin(θ) a) Let us first find the time it takes for the projectile to reach the maximum height. Using: vfinal-y = vinitial-y + ayt since the y-axis velocity of the projectile at the maximum height is vfinal-y = ? Then, ? = vinitial-y + ayt Substituting the expression of vinitial-y and ay = -g, results to the following: ? = ? - ?t Thus, the time to reach the maximum height is tmax-height = ?/? We will use this time to the equation yfinal - yinitial = vinitial-yt + (1/2)ayt2 if we use the time taken to reach the maximum height, therefore, the displacement will yield the maximum height, so hmax = vinitial-yt + (1/2)ayt2 substituting, the vinitial-y…

According to the Guinness Book of World Records the longest home run evermeasured was hit by Roy “Dizzy” Carlyle in a minor league game. The ball travelled188 m (618 ft) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. (a) Assuming theball’s initial velocity was in the direction of 450 above the horizontal and ignoringresistance, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a homerun if the ball was hit in a point 0.9 m above ground level? Assume that the groundwas perfectly flat. (b) How far would the ball be above a fence 3.0 m high the fencewas 116 m from home plate?
