BOARD PROBLEM
A soldier, hiding in a 3.5-meter-deep hole, threw a grenade with an initial velocity of 28.0
m/s at a launching angle of 35° from the horizontal. A pile of sandbags, 3.0 meters in height,
is located exactly 12.0 meters (horizontally) from where the soldier is. Set the ground surface
as y = 0.
(a) Will the sandbags be able to block the grenade? Show calculations that support your
answer.
(b) What will be the velocity of the grenade as soon as it hits the ground?
(c) Disregarding the sandbags, if the grenade explodes 1.7 seconds after it was thrown, at
what position, 7, will it explode? Express your answer in unit-vector form.
