- A player kicks the ball at an angle of 30oto the vertical axis at an initial velocity of 120m/s. A second player standing at 300 meters from the first direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the time it is kicked.Determine (i) Time of flight of the ball (T). (2)(ii) The range, R, of the ball. (2)(iii) Find the speed and direction of the ball 2 seconds before it reaches the ground. (4)(iv) The remaining time and distance covered by second player hence or otherwise, find the speed of the second player if he is to catch the ball before it reaches the ground. (4)QUESTION 2: WORK, ENERGY AND POWER (10)2.1 State the law of conservation of momentum. (2) In a system of colliding objects, the total momentum is conserved, provided there is no net external force acting on the system? 2.2 Show that the rate of energy transfer of a particle is given by; f x v (4)2.3 Object A of mass 20 kg moving with a velocity of 2 m/s makes a head-on collisionwith object B of mass 10 kg moving…arrow_forward1. A projectile, fired at an angle of 45º to the ground, takes 3 s to reach the top of its path. (a) How long does it travel before it hits the ground? (b) What acceleration does the projectile have? (c) What effect will increasing the angle at which the projectile is fired have on the horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile? (d) What effect will increasing the angle at which the projectile is fired have on its acceleration?arrow_forwardA player kicks a football at an angle of 35° with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of 14.8 m/s. A second player standing at a distance of 26.0 m from the first player in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the instant it is kicked. (a) At what rate should the second player accelerate to catch the ball? (b) What would be the speed of the second player upon catching the ball? solution with explanation step by steparrow_forward
- A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. Vo - ( mis) 7 + m/s) ? At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v= m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a- m/s?. The time needed to reach maximum height is t- S. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H= m.arrow_forwardAs a projectile moves in its path, is there any point along the path where the velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel to each other? ( assume the object is thrown upward and forward, but not straight up.)arrow_forwardBased on the time calculated and the initial horizontal velocity component, predict how far you would expect the projectile to travel horizontally before reaching the floor. angle 1: θ = 15° -->time 0.25s, initial horizontal velocity component 4.16m/s angle 2: θ = 45° -->time 0.63s, initial horizontal velocity component 3.05m/s angle 3: θ = 70° -->time 0.83s, initial horizontal velocity component 1.74m/sarrow_forward
- A tennis player serves the ball with an initial speed of 23.6 m/s, from a height of 2.37 m above the court. If the net is at a distance of 12 m and has a height of 0.90 m, determine what is indicated in each section: a) The angle that the throw must have so that the ball can pass over the net. b) The time it takes for the ball to hit the ground, assuming the person on the other side of the net fails to return it. c) If the other person has a height of 1.70 m, and his throw is made at 2.20 m, indicate in what position he must be in order to return the ball.arrow_forwardIn a cricket match, a batsman hits a ball at an angle of 36o from the horizontal with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s.
