Chapter 4, Problem 112P
The range of a projectile depends not only on v0 and θ0 but also on the value g of the free-fall acceleration, which varies from place to place. In 1936, Jesse Owens established a world’s running broad jump record of 8.09 m at the Olympic Games at Berlin (where g = 9.8128 m/s2). Assuming the same values of v0 and θ0, by how much would his record have differed if he had competed instead in 1956 at Melbourne (where g = 9.7999 m/s2)?

A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y
Coordinates as functions of time are given by the following
expressions:
x = (18.0 m/s)t
y = (4.00 m/s)t – (4.90 m/s²)t²
a) Express the position of the ball as a function of time in terms
of unit vectors.
b) Express the velocity of the ball as a function of time in terms
of unit vectors.
c) Express the acceleration of the ball as a function of time in
terms of unit vectors.
Note: To express a function in terms of
unit vectors, you treat the equivalent of
"x" as a coefficient of î, while “y" as a
coefficient of j.
A few seconds after a plane took off it was hit by a missile launched from a distance on the
ground. The path of the plane is described by y= (0.0005 x²) m. The missile traveled along
a parabolic path described by y = (160 x), where the coordinates are measured in meters.
If the components of the missile velocity in the horizontal and vertical directions are
constant at v; =120 m/s and v, = 100 m/s, respectively, and the plane was rising with a
constant upward velocity v, = 12 m/s, determine the magnitudes of the velocity and
acceleration of the plane the moment it was hit by the missile.

During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the
Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones
at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2
km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in
the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range.
a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range?
b) How long was the ball in the air?
c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?
