- Entering his dorm room, a student tosses his book bag to the right and upward at an angle of 45° with the horizontal (see figure). Air resistance does not affect the bag. It moves through point O immediately after it leaves the student's hand, through point ® at the to of its flight, and through point © immediately before it lands on his top bunk bed. | 45° (a) Rank the following horizontal and vertical velocity components from the largest to the smallest. Note that zero is larger than a negative number. If two quantities are equal, show them as equal in your list. If any quantity is equal to zero, show that fact in your list.

(a) How high above the ground (not your hand) does the ball go?(b) At the highest point, how far is the ball horizontally from the point of release?arrow_forwardA .43 kg soccer ball is kicked with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 42 degrees above the horizontal. Assuming no air resistance and a zero relative projection height, how high in the air did the ball go?arrow_forward
- A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed vo. At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally from the same balcony with an initial speed vo/2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the following statements must be true? [There may be more than one correct answer.] Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impact. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component While each ball is in the air, the red ball has the greater magnitude of acceleration. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed. | The balls reach the ground at the same instant.arrow_forwardt In an Internet video an athlete launches a basketballfrom a stadium platform that is 16.2 m higher than the hoop. Hemakes the basket by launching the ball at an angle of 14.5° abovehorizontal with a speed of 11.6 m>s. What horizontal distancedoes the ball travel before passing through the hoop?arrow_forwardYou launch an object into the air with an initial horizontal speed of 80 m/s and an initial vertical upward speed of 60 m/s. Find the horizontal displacement when the object is at its maximum vertical displacement. Neglect air resistance and use g = 10 m/s2.arrow_forward
- A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs off the roof horizontally at a speed of 5.1m/s, hoping to land on the roof of an adjacent building. Air resistance is negligible. The e horizontal distance between the two buildings is D, and the roof of the adjacent building is 2.0m below the jumping-off point. Find the maximum value for D.arrow_forwardDuring a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 215 m with a constant velocity of 56.0 m/s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground? Answer: marrow_forwardYou are at the top of a mountain, which slopes up at a 35 ̊ angle above the horizontal. If you throw a pebble horizontally from the top of the slope with an initial speed of 25 m/s, how far down the slope will it land (d, in meters)?arrow_forward
- A ball is fired from the origin with an initial velocity of 60.0m/s at 70.0 degree above the x-axis. Ignore air resistance.(a) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s initial velocity? (b) Find the maximum height above the ball can reach. (c) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity and acceleration at it's maximum height?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 68 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 36 ft. Determine the distance h by which the ball clears the top of the cliff and the time t after release for the ball to land at B. Also, calculate the magnitude of the impact velocity vg. Neglect air resistance and the small horizontal motion of the ball. H Answers: h = i ft t = sec Vg = ft/secarrow_forwardYou are standing on a loading dock at the top of a flat ramp that is at a constant angle a0 below the horizontal. You slide a small box horizontally off the loading dock with speed v0 in a direction so that it lands on the ramp. How far vertically downward does the box travel before it strikes the ramp?arrow_forward
