A ball is thrown upward at a speed of 80 ft/s at an angle of 30° along the horizontal. How far will the ball travel? g=32 ft/s^2
A placekicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m(about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ballwill clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, theball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of53.0° to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear orfall short of clearing the crossbar? (b) Does the ball approachthe crossbar while still rising or while falling?
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
