Check Your Understanding If the two golf shots in Example 4.9 were bunched at the same speed, which shot would have the greatest range? When we speak of the range of a projectile on level ground, we assume R is very small compared with the circumference of Earth. If, however, the range is large, Earth curves away below the projectile and the acceleration resulting from gravity changes direction along the path. The range is larger than predicted by the range equation given earlier because the projectile has father to fail than it would on level ground, as shown in Figure 4.17, which is based on a drawing in Newton’s Principia. If the initial speed is great enough, the projectile goes into orbit. Earth’s surface drops every 8000 m. In 1 s an object falls 5 m without a resistance. Thus, if an object is given a horizontal velocity of 8000 m/s (or 18,000 mi/hr) near Earth’s surface, it will go into orbit around the planet because, the surface continuously falls away from object Thu is roughly the speed of the Space Shuttle in a low Earth orbit when it was operational, or any satellite in a low Earth orbit. These and other aspects of orbital motion, such as Earth’s rotation, are covered in greater depth in Gravitation. Figure 4.17 Projectile to satellite. In each case shown here, a projectile is launched from a very high tower to avoid air resistance. With increasing initial speed, the range increases and becomes longer than t would be on level ground because Earth curves away beneath its path. With a speed of 8000 m/s, orbit is achieved.
What form does the trajectory of a particle have if the distance from any point Ato point Bis equal to the magnitude of the displacement from Ato B ?
In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
The cannon on a battleship ship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 39.0km What's the velocity of the shell? What maximum height does it reach? How many meters lower will its surface be 39 from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat earth in projectile motion is significant here?
A target lies a distance R = 1100 m from a cannon across level ground, and a distance d = 780 m behind a wall h = 400 m tall. If the cannon shoots projectiles with speed 160 m/s, at what angle should the cannon fire so as to hit the target over the wall?
A particle is moving along a curved path. At a certaininstant when the slope of the path is 0.75, ax= 6 ft/s2 anday= 10 ft/s2. Compute the values of tangential (at) andnormal (an) components of the total acceleration at thisinstant and sketch how the path curves.

Our pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?
In one contest at the county fair, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.1 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20∘ angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.20 m away. At what angle θ should you tilt the ball launcher?
A ball is to be shot from level ground toward a wall at distancex shows the y component vy of theball’s velocity just as it would reach the wall, as a function of that distance x. The scaling is set by vys = 5.0 m/s xs = 20 m. m/s and Whatis the launch angle?
A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest elevation angles at which he can kick the ball to score a field goal from a point 50.0 m in front of goalposts whose horizontal bar is 3.44 m above the ground? When doing this, you may want to research some trig identities to get a formula involving only tangent functions. Also, since there are two values of angle that will work, maybe the quadratic formula is involved.
