A clever inventor has created a device that can launch water balloons with an initial speed of 85.0 m/s. Her goal is to pass a balloon through a small hoop mounted on the observation platform at the top of the Eiffel Tower, 276 m above the ground. If the balloon is to pass through the hoop at the peak of its flight, at what angle above horizontal should she launch the balloon?

The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.00 m high, to form a 1-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. a. Find the speed at which the ball was launched. Answer + b. Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. Answer c. Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. Figure P3.19 ATO FEB 9.arrow_forward
- A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.27 m/s at an angle of 83.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 2.10 m above the table?arrow_forwardOn a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.10 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 48.6 m/s at an angle of 33.9 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?arrow_forwardProblem 5: A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball from a horizontal distance of 9.7 m from the goal, and the ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. The launch angle was 29.1 degrees above horizontal.

Vivian is practicing her shooting accuracy with her slingshot by trying to shoot rubber balls into a bucket on the ground. For one particular shot for which the ball lands in the bucket, she fired her slingshot horizontally with an initial speed of 56.0 m/s at a height of 170 cm above the ground. (a) How far away is Vivian standing from the bucket? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the ball's velocity when it lands in the bucket? Note: Please be mindful of significant figures. Also, you can assume that when the balls land in the bucket, they are on the ground.arrow_forwardthe horizontal. From what height above the ground was the marble thrown?

The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's-eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.026 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's-eye? Ans: 46.62 m & colleon II.16 fro Question 5 A soccer plaver kicks the ball toward a goal that is 21,0 m in front of him. Thearrow_forward
