- A ball is thrown from the top of a 25-m tall building with an initial velocity v 0 at an angle above the horizontal. If it strikes the horizontal ground below at a distance 20 m from the foot of thebuilding, determine v 0 and . Also find its velocity when it strikes the ground.arrow_forwardDuring a flyby of the earth, the velocity of a spacecraft is 10.4 km/s as it reaches its minimum altitude of 990 km above the surface at point A. At point B the spacecraft is observed to have an altitude of 8350 km. Determine (a) the magnitude of the velocity at point B, (b) the angle φB.arrow_forwardA golfer hits the ball with an initial velocity of 160 ft / s, at an angle of 25 ° to the horizontal. If the field of play descends at an average angle of 5 °, determine the distance d between the golfer and point B where the ball first touches the field.arrow_forward
- An oscillating garden sprinkler which discharges water with an initial velocity v0 of 8 m/s is used to water a vegetable garden. Determine the distance d to the farthest point B that will be watered and the corresponding angle α when (a) the vegetables are just beginning to grow, (b) the height h of the corn is 1.8 m.arrow_forwardA projectile is fired with a speed of 1,000 ft/s at a height of 500 ft. Determine theelevation angle so that the maximum height is 2,500ft.arrow_forwardShow that the speeds of a projectile are the same at any two pointsin its path which are at the same elevation.arrow_forward
- A nozzle at A discharges water with an initial velocity of 36 ft/s at an angle a with the horizontal. Determine (a) the distance d to the farthest point B on the roof that the water can reach, (b) the corresponding angle a. Check that the stream will clear the edge of the roof.arrow_forwardA projectile is launched with a speed v0 = 25 m/sfrom the floor of a 5-m-high tunnel as shown. Determine the maximum horizontal range R of the projectile and the corresponding launch angle.arrow_forwardA particle P has a mass of 2 kg and a velocity (i-2j+2k) ms-1. Determine the angular momentum of P about a point O, given that the displacement vectors of P and O, from a given point, are (3i+5j-6k) m and (i+7j-9k) m, respectively.arrow_forward
- Show that the girl at A can throw the ball to the boy at B by launching it at equal angles measured up or down from a 45° inclination. If VA = 10 m/s, determine the range R if this value is 15°, i.e., θ1 = 45° -15° = 30° and θ2 = 45° + 15° = 60°. Assume the ball is caught at the same elevation from which it is thrown.arrow_forwardA pingpong ball is thrown 45 degree from the vertical. The distance of the pingpong player is 15ft from the ring. Upon the release of the ball, it has a distance of 8 ft measured from the ground and 2 ft away from the player. Determine the velocity at release if the height of the ring is to be 11 ft.arrow_forwardA ball is dropped from the top of a tower 80m high at the same instant a second ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. If the two balls meet each other at the point of 44m above the ground, determine the initial velocity of the second ball.arrow_forward
