World’s Longest Par 3. The tee of the world’s longest par 3 sits atop South Africa’s Hanglip Mountain at 400.0 m above the green and can only be reached by helicopter. The horizontal distance to the green is 359.0 m. Neglect air resistance and answer the following questions. (a) If a golfer launches a shot that is 40° with respect to the horizontal, what initial velocity must she give the ball? (b) What is the time to reach the green?
In punting a football, the kicker tries to maximize both the distance of the kick and its “hang time”—the time that the ball is in the air. A kicker gets off a great punt with a hang time of 5.0 s that lands 50 yards from the kicker.a. What is the speed of the ball as it leaves the kicker’s foot?b. What is the angle of the ball’s initial velocity?
Q1. A ball rolling across a flat, horizontal table has a velocity of v1. After it leaves the edgeof the table, the ball continuous to travel with a constant horizontal velocity as it begins tofall. Just before the ball hits the ground, it has a net velocity of v2. What is the ball verticalspeed at this moment?

- A ball rolls in a straight line along the horizontal direction. Using motion diagrams (or multi flash photo-graphs), describe the velocity and acceleration of the ball for each of the following situations: (a) The ball moves to the right at a constant speed, (b) The ball moves from right to left and continually slows down, (c) The ball moves from right to left and continually speeds up. (d) The ball moves to the right, first speeding up at a constant rate and then slowing down at a constant rate.arrow_forwardThe determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to try to capture the elusive roadrunner.
