Chapter 3, Problem 47GP
|| DATA A projectile is fired horizontally at a speed of 15 m/s from the top of a 200-m-high cliff on Planet X. After it is fired, the height h of the projectile above the base of the cliff is measured as a function of time. The resulting data are shown here:
| Time (sec) | h(m) |
| 1.0 | 190 |
| 2.0 | 160 |
| 3.0 | 110 |
| 4.0 | 40 |
Make a linearized plot of these data with h on the y axis. Draw a best-fit line through the linearized data and use this line to estimate (a) the acceleration of gravity for Planet X, (b) the time when the projectile reaches the bottom of the cliff, and (c) the horizontal distance the projectile lands from the base of the cliff.

A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 24 degrees bellow the horizontal. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a uniform acceleration of 4.00 m/s^2 for a distance of 50.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 30.0 m above the ocean. Find a) the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean and b) the length of time the car is in the air. Thanks!
A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m ( about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 23.9 m/s at an angle of 51.5 degrees to the horizontal.
In step 4 substituting the valves into the equation for the, y- component of the displacement above gives the following result. Remember that ay--g.
y=0+ ( ) m/s) ( ) s) 1/2( m/s^2) ( )s^2) = ( ) m
