Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 46GP
|| On the first play of a football game, the kicker kicks the ball with a speed of 25 m/s, and the ball travels a distance of 60 m (about 65 yd). (a) At what two possible angles, relative to the horizontal, could the ball have been kicked? (b) What two possible times could the ball have been in the air? The longer time is sometimes known as the hang time.

1.
During new year, a fireworks shell is shot up in the air with an initial velocity of 65m/s at an angle of
70° above the horizontal. The shell is designed to ignite as it reached the highest point above the ground.
a. Find the height above the ground the shell will explode.
b. How long will it take for the shell to reach the highest point and explode?
c. What is the horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes?
(a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 31 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.67 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in
m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
273.73 X
You appear to have correctly calculated the distance the rock travels, but you have then used the wrong time to calculate the horizontal speed. m/s
(b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer
player to hear the sound of the splash 2.67 s after kicking the rock?
m/s

O Both hit the ground at the same time.
You cannot tell from the information given.
