above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The
player likes to shoot the ball at a 38.0° angle. If the shot is

accurate to ±0.22 m (horizontally), what is the range of

- An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. Its position at that time is 4.00 m west and 12.0 m above the center of the 30.0 cm diameter nest. The owl is flying east at 3.50 m/s at an angle 30.0° below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Is the owl lucky enough to have the mouse hit the nest? To answer this question, calculate the horizontal position of the mouse when it has fallen 12.0 m.arrow_forwardIf a projectile is launched upward with a speed of 7.44 m/s, and at an angle of 40.1° above horizontal, what is the hang time of this projectile If a projectile is launched upward with a speed of 39.1 m/s, and at an angle of 10.4° above horizontal, what is the range of this projectile?arrow_forwardIn the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. The top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. You have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. The ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. You throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground and at an angle of 48.0° above the horizontal. Part A What minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence? Express your answer with the appropriate units. % = 13.3 m S Submit Previous Answers ✓ Correct Part B For the initial velocity calculated in the previous part, what horizontal distance beyond the fence will the rock land on the ground?

- World's Longest Par 3. The tee of the world's longest par 3 sits atop South Africa's Hanglip Mountain at 400.0 m above the green and can only be reached by helicopter. The horizontal distance to the green is 359.0 in. Neglect air resistance and answer the following questions. (a) If a golfer launches a shot that is 40° with respect to the horizontal, what initial velocity must she give the ball?arrow_forwardA trebuchet (a catapult) is used to launch a fiery projectile towards a castle. The projectile is 5.0 m above the ground when launched at a velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Assuming that the projectile lands on the level ground inside the castle walls answer the following questions. (a) How long was the projectile in the air? (b) How far horizontally did the projectile travel from where it was launched to where it hit the ground? (c) What was the velocity of the projectile just before it hit the ground? (d) Include aarrow_forwardWhat is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ2 = 47.5°?arrow_forward
- A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The initial velocity at this angle is 80 m/s, but this velocity may be separated into a vertical velocity component of 40 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 69.3 m/s. How far does the cannonball travel horizontally?arrow_forwardConsider a projectile being launched with an initial speed of 58 m/s at a variety of initial angles. What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ1 = 78.3°?arrow_forwardThe citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) kmarrow_forward
