- A projectile is fired at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 80 m/s from the top of a cliff 80 m high.

At the moment when the ship is 1.5 km away, you fire a shell at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal, which hits the enemy ship.

- A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 53° with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 100 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 30 m/s. (a) How high above the edge of the cliff does the rock rise? (b) How far has it moved horizontally when it is at maximum altitude? (c) How long after the release does it hit the ground? (d) What is the range of the rock? (e) What are the horizontal and vertical positions of the rock relative to the edge of the cliff at t = 2.0 s, t = 4.0 s, and t = 6.0 s?arrow_forwardThe citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) kmarrow_forwardAn arrow is fired from a bow from a height of 1.3 m and hits a target at the same height15 m away. What was the angle of release if it spent 1.4 seconds in the air?arrow_forward
- A hunter aims directly at a target (on the same level) 38.0 m away. (a) If the arrow leaves the bow at a speed of 23.1 m/s by how much will it miss the target? (b) At what angle should the bow be aimed so the target will be hit?arrow_forwardA bullet is fired with muzzle velocity of 1000 m/s from a rifle clamped to a window 4.9m above ground level. Neglecting air resistance, the horizontal distance from the rifle at which the bullet will strike the ground is.arrow_forwardA guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.arrow_forward

(B) what is the total flight time (between launch and touching the ground) of the object? (C) what is the horizontal range (maximum x above the ground) of the object? (D) what is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardGun sights are adjusted to aim high to compensate for the effect of gravity, effectively making the gun accurate only for a specific range. If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 75 m away at the same height, how low, as a positive number in meters, will the bullet hit if aimed directly at a target 165 m away? The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 275 m/s.arrow_forwardWhen a projectile's launch speed is doubled its range over level ground (for any launch angle) will be changed by a factor of what?arrow_forward
