- A projectile leaves the ground at 150 m/s and reaches a maximum height of 0.57 km. If there was no air resistance, at what angle above the horizontal did it leave the ground?arrow_forwardAn inflatable life raft is released from an airplane at 300 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 100 m/s in the horizontal direction. At what horizontal distance from the release point does the raft strike the water?arrow_forwardFor a projectile fired at an angle of 48 degrees and having an initial velocity of 65 m/s, what is the horizontal component of the initial velocity?arrow_forward
- A bullet is fired with muzzle velocity of 1000 m/s from a rifle clamped to a window 4.9m above ground level. Neglecting air resistance, the horizontal distance from the rifle at which the bullet will strike the ground is.arrow_forwardAn inflatable life raft is released from an airplane at 300 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 120 m/s in the horizontal direction. Neglecting air resistance, how long before the raft strikes the water?arrow_forwardA horizontal projectile is shot with an initial velocity of 9.9 m/s from a height of 5.8 m above the ground. Neglecting air-resistance, what is the horizontal distance of the landing point (measured in meters from the base of the shooting point)?arrow_forward
- For a projectile fired at an angle of 48 degrees and having an initial velocity of 65 m/s, what is the horizontalarrow_forwarda plane is flying horizontally with speed 283 m/s at a height of 2480 m above the ground, when a package is dropped from the plane. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. what is the horizontal distance from the release point to the impact point?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? (Answer in Degrees) What other angle gives the same range? (Answer in Degrees) For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air? (answer in Seconds)arrow_forward
- the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?arrow_forwardA football player punts the football so that it will have a “hang time” (time of flight) of 4.5 s and land 46 m away. If the ball leaves the player’s foot 150 cm above the ground, what must be the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball’s initial velocity?arrow_forwardWhat initial velocity v0 is required for a bullet, fired vertically from ground level, to reach a maximum height of 2 km?arrow_forward
