Chapter 3, Problem 43GP
|| Two projectiles are fired at 20 m/s from the top a 50-m-tall building. Projectile A is fired at an angle of 30° above the horizontal, while projectile B is fired at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. Calculate (a) the time for each projectile to hit the ground and (b) the speed at which each hits the ground. What can you conclude about the relationship between the launch angle and the speed at which a projectile hits the ground?

During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted
out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs.
Figure 4-22 shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At
what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle
Oo = 60.0° to the horizontal, from the vent at A in order to fall at
the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 2.60 km and
horizontal distance d = 9.40 km? Ignore, for the moment, the
effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of
flight? (c) Would the effect of the air increase or decrease your
answer in (a)?

The enemy's car is 13.9 m in front of the Part A Indy's when he lets go of the grenade. If Indy throws the grenade so its initial velocity relative to him is at an angle of 45 ° above the horizontal, what should the magnitude of the initial velocity be? The cars are both traveling in the same direction on a level road. You can ignore air resistance. Hint: The grenade moves in projectile motion, and convert the two velocities given in the problem from km/hr to m/s. Being an excellent student of P2, Indy knows that horizontal range of the grenade must equal the distance that the enemies car is ahead at the time the grenade is thrown plus the distance the enemies car travels while the grenade is in the air.
