You fire a bullet, and drop a second bullet from the same height as the gun's barrel at the exact same time the fired bullet leaves the barrel. Neither bullet encounters any obstructions as they move through the air. Which bullet will strike the ground first? O The fired bullet hits the ground first. O The dropped bullet hits the ground first. O It depends on how much the fired bullet's horizontal velocity is slowed down from air resistance. O They strike the ground at the same time.

A person standing at the top of a hemispherical rock of radius R kicks a ball (initially at rest on the top of the rock) to give it horizontal velocity vi as shown in Figure P3.56. (a) What must be its minimum initial speed if the ball is never to hit the rock after it is kicked? (b) With this initial speed, how far from the base of the rock does the ball hit the ground?
A ball is thrown with an initial speed vi at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball reaches a maximum height R/6. In terms of R and g, find (a) the time interval during which the ball is in motion, (b) the balls speed at the peak of its path, (c) the initial vertical component of its velocity, (d) its initial speed, and (e) the angle i. (f) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but at the angle appropriate for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height. (g) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed but at the angle for greatest possible range. Find this maximum horizontal range.
You are attempting to use a homemade cannon to launch a potato onto the roof of a 45 meter tall office building. You set up the cannon at ground level, 75 meters from the base of the building. At t = 0, the potato is launched with an initial speed of 38 meters per second at an angle of 55 degrees above the horizontal. At what time does the potato land on the roof? How far onto the roof does the potato land?
A ballplayer standing at home plate hits a baseball that is caught by another player at the same height above the ground from which it was hit. The ball is hit with an initial velocity of 32.7 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. a. How high will the ball rise than where it was hit? asnwer in m b. How much time (in seconds) will elapse from the time the ball leaves the bat until it reaches the fielder? answer in s c. At what distance from the home plate will the fielder be when he catches the ball? answer in m
A kicker must kick a soccer ball from a point 36.0 m (approximately 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd expects the ball to go over the crossbar, which is 3.05m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a velocity of 21.7 m / s at an angle of 51.5 ° with respect to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear, or not, the crossbar? (Give a negative value if it falls short.) (b) When the ball hits the crossbar, does it go up or down?
You throw a ball toward a wall at speed 25.0 m/s and at angle 40.0° above the horizontal. The wall is distance d 22.0 m from the release point of the ball. (a) How far above the release point does the ball hit the wall? What are the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of its velocity as it hits the wall? (d) When it hits, has it passed the highest point on its trajectory?
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speed of 265 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 2.90 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How far does the bomb travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.? km(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitates the bombardier before he can call, "Bombs away!" Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane's original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane relative to the bomb's point of impact when the bomb hits the ground? ?ahead of the bomb ?directly above the bomb ?behind the bomb (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsight set so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight at the moment of release. At what angle from the vertical was the bombsight set?? ° forward from the vertical
A firework is launched with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal. a. The horizontal component of the firework’s velocity, just before it reaches the peak of its motion (where it will explode)?b. The vertical component of the firework’s velocity, at a time 0.4 seconds after it was launched.c. The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the firework, at a time 0.4 seconds after it was launched.
A cannon is launched from the top of a 10m high cliff at an initial speed of 50 m/s at a 55 degree angle with the horizontal. a) Assuming the cannon lands on the ground, how long will it remain airborne?
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of (3m/s)i+(2 m/s)j. Neglect air resistance.(a) What is its velocity at the top of its trajectory? (b) What is its acceleration at the top of its trajectory? Be certain that each of your answers is in the form of a vector.
A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball from a horizontal distance of 9.7 m from the goal, and the ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. The launch angle was 24.8 degrees above horizontal. a. What was the initial speed of the ball, in m/s.?
A player kicks a football at an angle of 35° with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of 14.8 m/s. A second player standing at a distance of 26.0 m from the first player in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the instant it is kicked. (a) At what rate should the second player accelerate to catch the ball? (b) What would be the speed of the second player upon catching the ball?
