- A missile is launched at an angle of 60° up from the horizontal. Between 2 and 3 seconds after launch, it is seen to cover 30 m in the horizontal direction. With whatspeed (to 2 significant figures) was the rocket launched?arrow_forwardA projectile is fired with an initial speed of 40 m/s at angle of 23 degrees above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine (1) the maximum vertical distance reached by the projectile, (2) the total time in the air, (3) the range of the projectile, (4) the velocity of the projectile 2 s after firing.arrow_forwardTwo projectiles are thrown with the same magnitude of initial velocity, one at an angle with respect to the level ground and the other at an angle 90 degrees. Both projectiles will strike the ground at the same distance from the projection point. Will both projectiles be in the air for the same period of time?arrow_forward
- Consider 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_forwardA rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? What other angle gives the same range? For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air?arrow_forwarda ball rolls off horizontally from the edge of a tabletop 0.8 m above the floor and strikes the floor at a point 2m horizontally from the edge of the table . the horizontal velocity of projection of the ball is?arrow_forward
- When a projectile's launch speed is doubled its range over level ground (for any launch angle) will be changed by a factor of what?arrow_forwardIn the javelin throw at a track and field event, the javelin is launched at a speed of 8.2 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. How far has it traveled horizontally (in meters) after 2.0 seconds?arrow_forwardA projectile is fired at the edge of a cliff, with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees. If it takes the projectile to 10s to land on the bottom of the cliff, how far did it travel horizontally?arrow_forward
- A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 154 feet and explode at an apex of 191 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle θ = 56° above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed v0 for the shells, the separation distance d between the launch points A and B, and the time t from the launch at which the shells explode.arrow_forwardA ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the ball in the air for, in seconds?arrow_forward
