- When serving, a beach volleyball player strikes the volleyball (mass = 265 g) at a height of 2.4 metres above the ground. The ball follows the standard path of a projectile, first rising as it passes over the net, and then descending. The opponent receives the volleyball 1.1 seconds later at the same height (2.4 metres above the ground), and at a horizontal distance of 13.5 metres from the server. Answer the following questions assuming there is no effect of air resistance. When the ball was received by the opponent, the horizontal component of velocity (in m/s) was? The vertical component of velocity at take-off and impact (in m/s) can be solved by recognizing that the vertical component of velocity at the point of maximum height in the trajectory of motion is (in m/s)?arrow_forwardA home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 16.0 m high, located 126 m from home plate.

- A man stands on the roof of a building of height 17.0 mm and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 25.0 m/sm/s at an angle of 26.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA player hits a baseball, which has an initial velocity of 42 m/s. At the moment the ball is hit with the bat, the height of the baseball will be 0.22 m. The distance from the point of contact to the wall is 170 m. The baseball has an angle of 40 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The player will get a home run, if he or she hits the baseball pass the wall. The height of the wall is 6m. \\ a) Will the player get a homerun? if so, the by how much does the baseball clear the wall? b) Now assume that the wall is completely removed. Find the horizontal range and maximum height of the baseball. Also assume that the path of the baseball is symmetrical, so it lands at a location that is 0.22 m above the ground.arrow_forwardA projectile is fired vertically upward with a given initial velocity.
