While driving north at 25 m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 38 with the vertical. While driving back home moments later at the same speed but in the opposite direction, you see that the rain is falling straight down. From these observations, determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground. From these observations, determine the angle of the raindrops relative to the ground.

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=3.00jm/s2 and an initial velocity of vi=5.00im/s. Find (a) the vector position of the particle at any time t, (b) the velocity of the particle at any time t, (c) the coordinates of the particle at t = 2.00 s, and (d) the speed of the particle at t = 2.00 s.
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
A marble is launched from the edge of a table at a angle of 45 ° up from horizontal and goes through the air until it hits the floor. True or False? For such a marble, |vx| (the magnitude of the x-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne.
As a projectile moves in its path, is there any point along the path where the velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel to each other? ( assume the object is thrown upward and forward, but not straight up.)
A machine launches a tennis ball at an angle of 25° above the horizontal at a speed of 14 meters per second and returns to level ground. Which combination of changes can produce an increase in the time of flight for the second launch? a. decrease the launch angle and decrease the ball's initial speed b. decrease the launch angle and increase the ball's initial speed c. increase the launch angle and decrease the ball's initial speed d. increase the launch angle and increase the ball's initial speed
A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?
A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? (Answer in Degrees) What other angle gives the same range? (Answer in Degrees) For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air? (answer in Seconds)
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 vertical position of the ball, with positive position in the upward direction. The vertical displacement of the ball from the edge of the cliff to the seawater is: meters. The time it takes for the ball to reach the seawater is: t = seconds. The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is: meters.
Consider a projectile launched form ground level at an angle of elevation with an initial velocity . The maximum horizontal range is given by xmax=(v 2/0 sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the problem: If a soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 28 m/sec, what is the smallest positive angle at which the player should kick the ball to reach a teammate 48m down the field? Assume that the ball reaches the teammate at ground level on the fly. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
A projectile is launched with speed v at an angle of ?2 above the horizontal going to a maximum height NH=4.08 H.The projectile is then launched with the same initial speed but an angle of ?1 above the horizontal going to a maximum height H.Please derive the ratio of the total time of flight of the projectile as the time for launch at angle ?2 to that time at angle ?1.
From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 8.80 m/s and angle of 16.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 4.00 s later. With the positive x-direction chosen to be out the window, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity. vi, x = m/s vi, y = m/s How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? m
A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. ( m/s) + ( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = ? m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = ? m/s2. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = ? s. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = ? m.
