A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 35° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the initial speed of the ball, (b) the time it takes the ball to reach the wall, and (c) the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall. (Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)

- Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .arrow_forwardIn the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.arrow_forward
- Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to stranded hikers. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s at a height of 100 m above the ground. Neglect air resistance. (a) Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground? (c) What is the angle of the impact?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 golfer hits a hole in one after throwing the ball with an initial velocity of 40.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° from the horizontal axis. The hole is 10.0 m lower than the golfer's position, as shown in the figure. Ignore air resistance.(a) Find how long the ball reaches its maximum height. (b) Find the time it takes for the ball to fall into the hole, suppose that the ball falls directly into the hole and does not bounce. (c) Find the horizontal distance between the golfer's position and the hole. (d) What is the vector of velocity and acceleration when t = 3.00 s. Write the vectors using the unit vectors i and j .arrow_forward
- During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2 km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range. a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range? b) How long was the ball in the air? c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?arrow_forwardA projectile launcher is clamped to a bench with the muzzle 0.85 m from the floor. It launches a small ball at an angle of 35° with a velocity of 15.5 m/s. The ball travels freely until it eventually hits the floor, assuming no air resistance or draughts calculate the following: a) The time it takes to reach its maximum height. b) The maximum height of the ball above the floor. c) The total time the ball spent in the air d) The total distance travelled horizontally by the ball from the end of the muzzle to its first impact with the floor.arrow_forwardA lifeguard stands on top of a watch tower at the beach and purposely throws a stone horizontally with a speed of vi=18.0 m/s. The height of the tower is 50.0 m above the ground. (I)With what angle of impact does the stone land? (ii) How long after being released does the stone strike ground? (iii) With what speed does the stone land?arrow_forward
- In a game of basketball, a player released the ball with a velocity of 6 m/s at 45° above the horizontal from a height of 2 m from the floor. The center of the basket is 4.21 m from the free throw line and 3.05 m above the floor. (a) Is this a miss or a basket? (type miss or basket for your answer) (b) The player shoots again at 45° from the same point of release. What must be the initial speed of the ball so that it will go through the basket?arrow_forwarda home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21.0 m high, located 130 m from home plate. the ball is hit at an angle of 35.0 degrees to the horizontal, and air resisitance is negligible. find the initial speed of the ball. find the time it takes the ball to reach the wall, and find the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall. assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.00 m above the ground.arrow_forwardA home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 16.0 m high, located 136 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 31.0° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.) (a) Find the initial speed of the ball. (b) Find the time it takes the ball to reach the wall. (c) Find the velocity components of the ball when it reaches the wall. x-component y-component (d) Find the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall.arrow_forward
