- If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.arrow_forwardWhen a ball with a mass of 3 kg reaches 9 meters above the ground after being thrown obliquely from the ground to the air, the velocity vector is calculated with v = 7i + 6j. Accordingly, what is the maximum height the ball can reach?arrow_forwardDuring a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 23.6 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.60 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? (b) Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Enter a positive number if the ball clears the net. If the ball does not clear the net, your answer should be a negative number. Use g=9.81 m/s?.arrow_forward
- A tennis ball with mass of 0.16 kg is batted into the air. Its initial speed is 36.3 m/s, directed at an angle 25 degrees above the horizontal. If the height of the ball when it was struck by the racket is 35 cm, how high off the ground (in m) is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?arrow_forwardDuring a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 28.4 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.41 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net?

- A golf coach is showing her athletes how to hit a golf ball from the ground. Using her driver, she hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 250 ft/sec at an angle of 11.5 with the ground. After the ball hits the ground, it rolls for another 63 feet. While the ball is in air, it can be modeled with the parametric equations: z(t) = v, cos (e) t, y(t) = - 16t² + sin(e) t with z(t) as the horizontal position of the ball after tseconds y(t) as the vertical position of the ball after tseconds to as the initial velocity 8 as the initial launch angle A. How long is the ball in the air before it first hits the ground? B. How far does the ball travel, including after it rolls to a stop? Use mathematics to justify your answers. Show your work in the space provided.arrow_forwardA boy tossed the basketball at an angle of 29° degrees from the horizontal. The basketball is 1.7m above the ground at the time of release and the basketball hoop is 7.0m away and 4.1m high. Neglecting the size of the ball in the calculation, determine the speed which the ball pass through the hoop. Answer in two decimal places.arrow_forwardAn ideal projectile is launched at a 37.3-degree angle from the horizontal with an initdal speed of 8.77 m/s.

- Problem 8: A baseball slugger hits a pitch and watches the ball fly into the bleachers for a home run, landing h = 5.5 m higher than it was struck. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf= 38.7 m/s at an angle 6f = 33° below horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. yarrow_forwardYou stand still and throw a ball straight upwards with an initial speed of 7.50 m/s. You then repeat this experiment while on a moving sidewalk that is moving horizontally with a speed of 0.500 m/s. How high does the ball go?arrow_forwardDanielle launches a ball off of a platform of height h with velocity vo at an angle 0 above the horizontal. A wall with a ball-sized hole a height H above the floor, with H > h, is a horizontal distance L = 24.0 m away from Danielle. The difference in height between H and h is one-twelfth of L, and the square of the magnitude of the velocity, v, is three-halves of the product gL. H 1 H – h = h 3 L Determine the two values of 0 that ensure the ball passes through the hole. Submit the larger angle as 0, and the smaller angle as 02.arrow_forward
