(II) A grasshopper hops down a level road. On each hop, the grasshopper launches itself at angle θ0 = 45° and achieves a range R = 1.0m. What is the average horizontal speed of the grasshopper as it progresses down the road? Assume that the time spent on the ground between hops is negligible.

(i) In a carnival booth, you win a stuffed giraffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal distance of 2.1 m from this point (Fig. E3.19). If you toss the coin with a velocity of at an angle of 60 ͦ above the horizontal, the coin lands in the dish. You can ignore air resistance. (a) What is the height of the shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and What is the vertical component of the velocity of the quarter just before it lands in the dish.

In Fig. 4-40, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude
10.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at
the base of a ramp of horizon-
tal length d = 6.00 m and
height d, = 3.60 m. A plateau
is located at the top of the
ramp. (a) Does the ball land on
the ramp or the plateau? When
it lands, what are the (b) mag-
