- USE GRESA METHOD FOR THE SOLUTION 2. A ball is fired from the origin with an initial velocity of 60.0 m/s at 70.0° above the x-axis. Ignore air resistance. (a) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's initial velocity? (b) Find the maximum height above that the ball can reach. (c) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity and acceleration at its maximum height?arrow_forwardCalvin and Hobbes are playing a game of catch on the side of a gently sloping hill. Calvin is standing at the top of the hill which slopes down at an angle 15° below the horizontal. From this perch, he throws the ball directly forward (horizontal) with an initial velocity of 11.5 m/s. (a) How far down the hill should Hobbes stand to catch the ball? (Give both the vertical and horizontal displacement from where Calvin releases the ball.) (b) How long is the ball in flight?arrow_forwardA brother and sister, Alan and Beth, have just adopted a new dog, Sparky. Alan and Beth walk directly toward each other, each moving with constant speed along a straight-line path. Sparky leaves Alan and runs to Beth. Is the magnitude of Sparkys displacement with respect to Alan greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of Sparkys displacement with respect to Beth? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- Figure P4.8 shows the motion diagram of two balls. The time interval between images is 0.036 s. Each ball starts at point i. The ball on the left is released and falls straight down. At the same time, the ball on the right is launched horizontally and follows the path shown. a. Write the velocity and acceleration of each ball as a function of time. b. What is the velocity and acceleration of each ball at i, G, and K? c. Compare your answers for the two balls in part (b). What similarities do you notice? FIGURE P4.8 Problems 8 and 26.arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure 2.9, Whipple chose a coordinate system that was different from Cralls. There are many possible coordinate systems that can be used to analyze the motion of the cart. For example, a third student (Yoon) chose to place the origin of her coordinate system at position A (the) carts initial position) and use a southward-pointing y axis as her positive axis. a. Use the distance information given in Table 2.2 to make a new table that gives the carts position at each of the 16 times according to Yoons coordinate system. Hint: A sketch similar to Figure 2.9 is a good place to start. b. Use the data in your table to make a new position-versus-time graph. Hint: CHECK and THINK about your graph by comparing it with Figure 2.6.arrow_forwardYou are watching a friend practice archery when he misses the target completely, and the arrow sticks into the ground. Discouraged, your friend asks whether you can help by estimating the speed with which the arrow left the bow. Remembering your physics class, you realize that you can do so by measuring its height above the ground when it was launched, if you assume the arrow was launched horizontally and that the ground is level. For your analysis, you let h represent the arrows height above the ground when it was launched, v0 represent the launch speed, and represent the angle the arrow makes with the horizontal when it is stuck into the ground. Find an expression for v0 in terms of h and .arrow_forward
- Self paced practice problem Projectile motion A crazy person jumped off a 100-meter sea cliff because of climate change (it's hot, you know). He is launched up in the air at a velocity of 20m/s in a direction making an angle of 25° upward with the horizontal.a. What is the maximum height reached by the crazy person?b. What is the total time flight (between launch and touching the water surface) of the crazy person?c. What is the horizontal range of the crazy person?d. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the crazy person just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardA fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity?

- Grade 11 Physics: I haven't yet learned the range formula but don't know how to adjust the angle to hit the target by using the formulas I have used. A water balloon is fired at 34.0 m/s from a water cannon, which is aimed at an angle of 18° above the ground. The centre of the cannon’s target (which has a radius of 1.0 m) is painted on the asphalt 42.0 m away from the water cannon. Will the balloon hit the target? Justify your response with calculations that indicate where the water balloon will land and make one suggestion about how to adjust the water cannon so that the water balloon will hit the target. sin??θ=opphyp sin??θ=v⃗yv⃗ v⃗y=v⃗sinθ =(34.0m/s)sin 18° =10.5m/s[up] cosθ=adjhyp cosθ=v⃗xv⃗ v⃗x=v⃗cosθ =(34.0m/s)cos 18° =32.3m/s[forward] Let [up] be positive Δd⃗=0 a⃗=-9.8m/s2[down] v⃗y1=10.5m/s[up] Δt= ?
