Concept explainers
A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a hillside 4.00 s later. Neglect air friction, (a) What is the projectile’s velocity at the highest point of its trajectory? (b) What is the straight-line distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target?

- A projectile is fired at the edge of a cliff, with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees. If it takes the projectile to 10s to land on the bottom of the cliff, how far did it travel horizontally?arrow_forwardJonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?arrow_forwardA batted baseball is hit with a velocity of 40.9 m/s, starting from an initial height of 10 m. Find how high the ball travels in two cases: (a) a ball hit directly upward and (b) a ball hit at an angle of 68° with respect to the horizontal. Also find how long the ball stays in the air in each case (from right after the ball is launched until right before it lands). case a? case b?arrow_forward
- A projectile is launched off of a 19.6 m high building with an initial velocity of 26.4 m/s at an angle of 33.2 degrees relative to the horizontal. What is the speed of the projectile when it reaches it maximum height?arrow_forwardA firework shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal. The fuse will ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. (a) How much time passes between the launch of the shell and the explosion? (b) Calculate the height at which the shell explodes. (c) What is the horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes? (d) What is the total displacement from the point of launch to the highest point?arrow_forwardA ball is launched horizontally from the top of a 100 m tall building and lands 150 m (horizontal distance) from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (a) How long in seconds is the ball in the air? (b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity in m/s? (c) What is the vertical component of the velocity in m/s just before the ball hits the ground? (d) What is the speed or magnitude of the resultant velocity (including both the horizontal and vertical components) in m/s of the ball just before it hits the ground?arrow_forward
- A basketball player is running at 4.80 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.800 meters above the floor? m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket? marrow_forwardyou throw a ball with a speed of 30 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontaldirectly toward a wall. The wall is 25 m from the release point of the ball.(a) How long does the ball take to reach the wall?(b) How far above the release point does the ball hit the wall?arrow_forwardA basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (a) What vertical velocity does he need to rise 0.750 m above the floor? (b) How far from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?arrow_forward
- A person throws a ball horizontally from the top of a building that is 20.0 m above the ground level. The ball lands 100 m from the base of the building. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Neglect air resistance.arrow_forwardA baseball is thrown with an initial velocity of 100m/s at an angle of 40 degrees above horizontal. (a) How far from the throwing point will the baseball attain its original level? (b) What is the height of the highest point reach by the ball during its travel?arrow_forwardA football is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at angle of 35° above the horizontal. You will be asked to find how far the ball lands. Consider the path of the ball from its launch until it reaches its maximum height. What are the givens in the y-direction? Group of answer choices v0y = 14.3 m/s; ay = -9.8 m/s2; vfy = 0 m/s v0y = 14.3 m/s; ay = 0 m/s2; vfy = 0 m/s v0y = 0 m/s; ay = -9.8 m/s2; Δy = 25 m v0y = 25 m/s; ay = -9.8 m/s2; vfy = 0 m/sarrow_forward
