Predict/Calculate Referring to Example 4-11 Suppose we change the dolphin’s launch angle to 45.0°, but everything else remains the same. Thus, the horizontal distance to the ball is 5.50 m, the drop height is 4.10 m, and the dolphins launch speed is 12.0 m/s. (a) What is the vertical distance between the dolphin and the ball when the dolphin reaches the horizontal position of the ball? We refer to this as the “miss distance.” (b) If the dolphin’s launch speed is reduced, will the miss distance increase, decrease, or stay the same? (c) Find the miss distance for a launch speed of 10.0 m/s.

- 6. In a football game a kicker attempts a field goal. The ball remains in contact with the kicker’s foot for 0.050 s, during which time it experiences an acceleration of 340 m/s2. The ball is launched at an angle of 51° above the ground. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the launch velocity.arrow_forwardYou’ll now apply the horizontal launch to a car accident example. In this scenario, a car driver named Joshua Horton says he was driving at the speed limit of 45 mph when he hit an icy patch and drove through a guard rail of the 15 m tall bridge, before landing 24 m from the base of the bridge. Tes1ng shows that driving through the guard rail lowers a car’s speed by 10 m/s. QUESTION 3: Given the distance that the car landed from the bridge, determine what speed Joshua was actually driving before leaving the bridge. Was he telling the truth or lying? Show your calcula1ons here.arrow_forwardJust before a field goal kick attempt at a football game, you use your knowledge of kinematics to predict by how much the football will clear the horizontal crossbar which is 3m from the ground. From the location of the football, you know the distance of the kick to be 35m. Assuming you estimate the angle of the kick is 45 degrees, and the initial speed is 20 m/s, determine the height of the ball at the location of the goal post.arrow_forward
- A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver with an initial speed of 11 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. At that instant the receiver is 15.0 mfrom the quarterback. (a) In what direction should the receiver run in order to catch the football at the level at which it was thrown? The receiver should run in the direction opposite to that in which the football is traveling Or The receiver should run in the direction the football is traveling ? (b) With what constant speed should the receiver run in order to catch the football at the level at which it was thrown? Find m/sarrow_forwardYou launch an object into the air with an initial horizontal speed of 80 m/s and an initial vertical upward speed of 60 m/s. Find the horizontal displacement when the object is at its maximum vertical displacement. Neglect air resistance and use g = 10 m/s2.arrow_forwardIn the 1970 National Basketball Association championship, Jerry West made a 60 ft shot from beyond half court to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to an improbable tie at the buzzer with the New York Knicks. Suppose West threw the ball at an angle of 40.0∘ above the horizontal. The basket is 10 ft from the court floor. Neglecting air resistance, estimate the initial speed of the ball. (The Knicks won the game in overtime.)arrow_forward
- Problem In a relief operation mission involving a helicopter h distance above the ground traveling with a horizontal velocity vx. What should be the expression for the horizontal distance dx at which you release the relief package so that it will arrive to the survivors at the right place? (Neglect the effect of air resistance)arrow_forwardAn MCC soccer player in an effort to celebrate his team's victory over UCC kicks the ball towards one of the goals posts. the ball was kicked with the velocity of vo at 34 degrees to the ground ( horizontal ). the horizontal component of the initial of the ball is 23.2 m/ (a) (!) with what velocity was the ball kicked (!!) calculate the vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball. (b) On its up, the ball reaches a maximum height before descending towards the goal post. (1) calculate the maximum height reached by the ball (2) what time did the ball take to reach the maximum height.arrow_forwardTwo golfers hit a ball at the same velocity , but one with angle 60 from the horizontal ( x ) and the other is at an angle of 30 . a- which ball will take more distance ? b- which ball will hit the ground first ?arrow_forward
- During Shaun White's Gold medal run he reached a peak height of 5.6 meters above the halfpipe. If his takeoff angle was 65 degrees above the horizontal and he landed 1.4 meters lower than when he left the halfpipe answer the following questions. 1-What was the magnitude of his initial resultant velocity? 2-How long was he in the air? 3-How far did he travel horizontally down the halfpipe (assume that his horizontal velocity is directed down the halfpipe)?arrow_forwardYou are at the edge of the cliff at a height of 50 m. calculate how long it would take for a stone to hit the ground in each of the three cases A) you just drop the stone from rest, B) you throw the stone with a speed of 18.5 m/s in a horizontal direction, C) you throw the stone with the same initial speed, but an angle of 30° above the horizontal. D) Also calculate how far from the foot of the cliff the stone lands in each case described above ( i.e. the horizontal range in each case.)arrow_forwardA fire hose is projected at angle to extinguish the fire. The angle of projection is 70 degrees to reach the aim which is 4.7 m far. Given that the initial velocity is 7 m/s, calculate the maximum time, initial velocity and in itial vertical velocityarrow_forward
