The trajectory of a soccer ball is analyzed when a goalkeeper decides to place it in the center of the field. Theball is kicked at a height of 1.20 meters measured from the ground with a direction of 25 degrees withrelative to the vertical. It was observed through cameras that the ball remained in the air for 2.4seconds. Determine:a- The speed with which the ball goes out.b- The hot horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground.c- The maximum height the ball reaches.
If a ball is dropped from a height of 5 feet, determine velocity of the ball just before impact with the ground. Let positive y be upward, so the ball will have negative velocity. Provide your answer in ft/sec, but do not include units in your submittal.

- For a perfectly elastic collision, u1+v1=u2+v2, or alternatively, u2−u1=v1−v2. If object 2 is initially at rest, then u2=0. Then v1−v2=−u1. However, for a partially elastic collision the relative velocity after the collision will have a smaller magnitude than the relative velocity before the collision. We can express this mathematically as v1−v2=−ru1, where r (a number less than one) is called the coefficient of restitution. For some kinds of bodies, the coefficient r is a constant, independent of v1 and v2. Show that in this case the final kinetic energy of the motion relative to the center of mass is less than the initial kinetic energy of this motion by a factor of r2. Furthermore, derive expressions for v1 and v2 in terms of u1 and r.arrow_forwardIt was observed that during the Galileo spacecraft’s first flyby of the earth, its minimum altitude was 600 mi above the surface of the earth.

- In a free-fall experiment, an object is dropped from a height of 144 feet. A camera on the ground 500 feet from the point of impact records the fall of the object. Assuming the object is released at time t = 0. Find the rate of change of the angle of elevation of the camera when ? = 1.arrow_forwardThe ace pilot, Wash, attempts to put the ship Serenity (50,000 kg) in orbit at an altitude of 400 km around a planet (called Haven), which is about the same size as the Earth (D = 12,800 km). He has slowed to an approach velocity of 2 km/s. (recall: G = 6.67 x10-11 N m2 kg-2) Unfortunately, on approach, Serenity’s engines fail and she begins to plummet towards the surface. If the ship accelerates at 1.8g, what is the mass of the planet? What would the acceleration of the ship be at 350 km? Is a constant acceleration safe to assume? Assume that the average acceleration over the 50 km, what is the velocity of Serenity at the height of 350-km? Upon entry, the ship hits the atmosphere at 350 km (with a density of 0.1 kg m-3). The ship slows to a terminal velocity of 1550 m/s. How big is the heat shield that slows the ship? How quickly does the ship slow (ignore gravity)?arrow_forwardBall B is being suspended by a 1000mm long elastic cord from a wooden ceiling. The ball’s mass is said to be at 1,500 grams. If this cord is suddenly stretched downward 0.25m and the ball is released from rest, determine the distance (in mm) that the cord stretches after the ball rebounds from the wooden ceiling. Let’s say that the ball makes a central impact with the ceiling. Use the provided data below:arrow_forward
- Hi there, could I please have some help solving the problem below. Thank you very much in advance. Two particles collide with a normal direction defined: 0.7i+0.714j (eT=0.714i+-0.7j). The first mass has a mass of 4 kg and a velocity of 4i m/s. The second mass has a mass of 6 kg and a velocity of -2i+0j m/s. The collision has a coefficient of restitution of 0.6. 1. Determine the tangential velocity of the second particle after the impact [m/s]. 2. Determine the velocity in the normal direction of the second particle after the impact [m/s].

At the end of this trek, he realized that in the last leg he should have travelled 16.0 [km], 60.0° N of Winstead of the third path he originally took.

- Some asteroid is moving towards a base in space, such that the base is positioned on the xaxis and is 2000 meters wide on the xaxis. This asteroid, moving at 500 m/s along the yaxis, is on a collision course targeted at the center of the base. However, explosives are planted on the asteroid, which makes it explode into two separate pieces. The two separate pieces of a mass of m and 2m. 1. Please draw the trajectory of the CM of the asteroid as well as the system after the explosion (with the two separate masses). 2. At the same time, the two split pieces of asteroid reach the base. The piece with mass, m, passes by the right side of the bass at 1800m from the edge of the bass. Will the asteroid piece with mass, 2m, hit the base? Please prove if it will or will not. 3. The asteroid piece of mass, m, will be moving at a direction that is makes a 30 degree angle along the x axis, and its speed will be 1000 m/s. What is the speed of the split asteroid of mass, 2m?arrow_forward10.
