Referring to Example 4-9 Suppose that the golf ball is launched with a speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 57.5° above the horizontal, and that it lands on a green 3.50 m above the level where it was struck. (a) What horizontal distance does the ball cover during its flight? (b) What increase in initial speed would be needed to increase the horizontal distance in part (a) by 7.50 m? Assume everything else remains the same.

- 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_forwardAn object is launched at a velocity of 17.5m/ s in a direction making an angle of 23.5° upward with the horizontal. a) What is the maximum height reached by the object? b) What is the total flight time (between launch and touching the ground) of the object? c) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object? d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardAssume you launch a projectile very close to the left edge of the building. It has a height of 500 meters. It follows a parabolic trajectory and just barely misses the right edge of the building and keeps falling to the ground. If the initial velocity is 26 m/s at an angle of 40° with respect to the top of the building what is: a) the x and y components of the initial velocity? b) the maximum height the projectile reaches? c) the time it takes to reach this height? d) the length of time the projectile is over the building? e) the approximate length of the building? f) the velocity and angle the projectile is just as it passes the edge of the building? g) the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground after it misses the building? h) the x distance the projectile has traveled from the right edge of the building? i) the x component of the velocity vector right before it hits the ground? j) the y component of the velocity vector right before it hits the ground? k) the velocity…arrow_forward
- A man stands on the roof of a 15.0 m tall building and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 30.0 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate: a) the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock. the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground c) the horizontal range from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.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_forwardThe maximum horizontal distance a boy can throw a ball is 50 m. Assume he can throw with the same initial speed at all angles. How high does he throw the ball when he throws it straight upward?arrow_forward
- A ball will be thrown to hit a target standing on the ground at a distance of 100 m from the roof of a 20 m high building. The shooter stands on the roof near the target of the building. a) What should be the initial velocity of the ball thrown horizontally to hit the target? b) If the ball is thrown at an angle of 37 ° with the horizontal, what should be its initial speed to hit the target?arrow_forwardAn object is launched at a velocity of 17.5m/ s in a direction making an angle of 23.5° upward with the horizontal. a) What is the maximum height reached by the object? b) What is the total flight time (between launch and touching the ground) of the object? c) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object?arrow_forwardProblem 1 ( . You are on one bank of a river at height h want to jump across the river to the opposite bank, which is at the same height as the river horizontal distance d = 1.5 m away. = 2m above the river. %3D d (a) If you leave the bank of the river at an angle 0 = 30°, what initial speed do you need to just barely make it to the other side? (b) If you jump at this angle and with the speed you found in (a), what is your speed just before you land on the other side of the river? (c) Suppose that when you land on the other side of the fiver, an average force of 14 000 N brings you to rest. Assuming all of this force is exerted on your tibia, what is the percent change in the length of your tibia as you are landing? Assume the tibia has a cross-sectional area of 3 cm? and a Young's modulus of 1.4 x 1010 Pa.arrow_forward
- The 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_forwardQuestion 7 -15 You launch a projectile at an initial speed of 37.4 m/s from the ground.

How far horizontally ? can a Chinook salmon travel through the air if it leaves the water with an initial angle of ?=30.0° with respect to the horizontal?
