Express your answer using two significant figures.
B. What is the time for the sphere BB to hit the floor?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.745 m above his mouth.
a. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit? answer in m/s
b. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? answer in degrees
One of the tasks of the Mighty Hercules was to protect the town of Nemea from a lion. One day Hercules sees the lion 320 feet away. He strings his bow and lets an arrow fly. The arrow leaves his bow traveling at 210 feet per second from a height of 6 feet. He wants to hit the lion in the neck above the shoulders
which is 4 feet off of the ground.
a. Verify with calculations that if Hercules uses a launch angle of 20 degrees he will overshoot the lion.
b. Play around with different launch angles until you find the one that will hit the lion where he wants. You will need to be accurate to the hundredths place (two places after the decimal). For example, if you get 31 degrees will hit 4.7 that is too high. You might have to use 30.97 to get closer to exactly
