- A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? Figure P3.16arrow_forwardOlympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .arrow_forwardA projectile is launched from the top of the cliff of height h with initial velocity v0 and launch angle ? with respect to the horizontal. It later hits the ground. Derive an expression for the magnitude and direction angle of the velocity as the object hits the ground in terms of some or all of the variables given in the problem h, v0 , ?, and g.arrow_forward
- An archer standing on a 150 slope shoots an arrow 20 0 above the horizontal, as shown in the figure. How far down the slope does the arrow hit if it is shot with a speed of 50 m/s from 1.75 m above the ground?arrow_forwardYahya throws a ball at a height of y, = 2 m above ground with an initial speed of v, = 8.8 m/s at an angle of e, = 40° with respect to the vertical direction. [Recommended time : 6-8 minutes] A 6m high vertical wall stands 4 m away from Yahya. Will the ball go over the wall without hitting it? Oa. Yes Ob. No Oc. Maybe Od.

- A large cannon is fired from ground level over level ground at an angle of 300 above the horizontal. The muzzle speed is 980 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, answer the following questions: a) what is the maximum height that the projectile will reach? b) how long till the projectile will hit the ground? c) the projectile will travel what horizontal distance before striking the ground?arrow_forwardA projectile is launched from point A with speed vo = 29 m/s. Determine the value of the launch angle a which maximizes the range R indicated in the figure. Determine the corresponding value R. v0 = 29 m/s A Answers: a = a R = i 64 m 20.3 m R O 3arrow_forwardIn the figure, a stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of 45.0 m/s directed at an angle 00 = 63.0° above the horizontal. The stone strikes at A, 5.53 s after launching. Find (a) the height h of the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at A, and (c) the maximum height H reached above the ground.

- A stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s, directed 60.0° above the horizontal. The stone hits the cliff 6.10 s after it is launched. Calculate (a) the maximum height of the stone. (b) the height of the cliff. cliff 60°arrow_forwardAn item with beginning speed vo is projected from the edge of the roof of a structure of height H. The object's initial velocity produces an angle a0 with the horizontal. Don't think about air resistance. What is the speed of the item shortly before it hits the ground if a0 = -90 and the object is thrown straight down?arrow_forwardA 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 7.55 m/s at an angle of 71.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 2.10 m above the table? Find M/Sarrow_forward
