Referring to Example 4-9 (a) At what launch angle greater than 54.0° does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in front of the green? Assume that the ball has an initial speed of 13.5 m/s, and that the tree is 3.00 m high and is a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the launch point. (b) Where does the ball land in the case described in part (a)? (c) At what launch angle less than 54 0° does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in front of the green? (d) Where does the ball land in the case described in part (c)?

- If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.arrow_forwardThe libero receives a serve, and as he passes to their setter, the volleyball leaves his hand at point A with a velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 62°62° from the horizontal. The setter is to touch the ball overhead at point B, 1.4 meters above point A. Neglect the effects of air resistance. Which of the following best approximates the distance d? at which the setter should position himself?arrow_forwardWhen throwing a ball, your hand releases it at a height of 1.5 m above the ground with velocity 6.8 m/s in direction 57° above the horizontal. (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_forward
- A firework shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal. The fuse will ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. (a) How much time passes between the launch of the shell and the explosion? (b) Calculate the height at which the shell explodes. (c) What is the horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes? (d) What is the total displacement from the point of launch to the highest point?arrow_forwardA tennis player serves a ball horizontally at a height h = 3.4 m a distance d = 15.3 m from the net. What maximum speed can the ball be served so as to land within a distance w = 6.3 m of the and be a good serve?arrow_forward(a) At what launch angle greater than54.0° does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in frontof the green? Assume that the ball has an initial speed of 13.5 m>s,and that the tree is 3.00 m high and is a horizontal distance of14.0 m from the launch point. (b) Where does the ball land in thecase described in part (a)? (c) At what launch angle less than 54.0°does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in front of thegreen? (d) Where does the ball land in the case described in part (c)?arrow_forward
- 1) A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of θ = 51.5°,giving the ball an initial speed of v0 = 38.3 m/s The ball lands on the elevated green, yf = 5.9 mabove the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. (a) How much time passed while the ball was in the air? (b) How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing?m (c) What was the peak height reached by the ball?m 2)A ball starts from rest at the left end of the track shown in the figure below. The ball flies off the right end of the track and follows the parabolic trajectory shown. Suppose the right end of the track is 1.2 mabove the floor and makes an angle of 35.0°with the horizontal. Also suppose the ball leaves the track with a speed of 3.8 m/s.Determine where the ball hits the floor.m=arrow_forwardThe pitcher in a softball game throws a ball with an initial velocity v0 of 72 km/h at an angle a with the horizontal. If the height of the ball at point B is 0.68 m, determine (a) the angle a, (b) the angle 0 that the velocity of the ball at point B forms with the horizontal.arrow_forwardA lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.63 m/s from the edge of a platform that is 10.0 m above the surface of the water. (a) At what horizontal distance from the edge of the platform is the diver 0.834 s after pushing off? (b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then? (c) At what horizontal distance from the edge of the platform does the diver strike the water? (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units (c) Number i Units > >arrow_forward
- A baseball leaves the bat with a speed of 47 m/s and an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. A 5.0 m high fence is located at the horizontal distance of 137 m from the point where the ball is struck. Assuming the ball leaves the bat 1.0 m above ground level, by how much does the ball clear the fence?arrow_forwardA batter hits a pitched ball when the center of the ball is 1.39 m above the ground.The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 45° with the ground. With that launch, the ball should have a horizontal range (returning to the launch level) of 119 m. (a) Does the ball clear a 8.36-m-high fence that is 109 m horizontally from the launch point? (b) At the fence, what is the distance between the fence top and the ball center?arrow_forwardCan you help me with this question? A motocyclist drives his bike off of a 12 m high horizontal ledge. If he is driving at a speed of 22 m/s horizontally, how far from the base of the ledge does he land?arrow_forward
