For Exercises 120-121, consider a projectile launched from ground level at an angle of elevation
121. A quarterback throws a football with an initial velocity of 62 ft/sec to a receiver 40 yd (120 ft) down the field. At what angle could the ball be released so that it hits the receiver's hands at the same height that it left the quarterback's hand? Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

- A sky diver weighing 192 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from a very high altitude. Assume that the air resistance is proportional to the falling velocity with the constant k = 0.6, the acceleration due to gravity g = 32ft/sec2, and that the positive direction is downward. What is the terminal velocity of the sky diver if he/she never opens the parachute?arrow_forwardThe projectile is thrown at the angle of 45 degrees with the initial velocityof 1 meter per second. The free-fall acceleration is 9.8 meters per second. What is the distance between the point where the projectile was thrown and where it would land?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown upward from a height of 1.5 m at an initial speed of 45 m/sec. Acceleration resulting from gravity is -9.8m/sec2. Neglecting air resistence, solve for the velocity v(t) and height h(t) of the ball t seconds after it's thrown and before it hits the ground.arrow_forward
- a quarterback throws a football with an initial velocity of 72 ft/sec at an angle of 25. the height of a ball can be modeled by h(t) = -6t^2 + 30.4t +5 where h(t) is the height (in ft) and t is the time seconds after release. a, Determine the time at which the ball will be at its maximum height. b, Determine the maximum height of the ball. c, Determine the amount of time required for the ball to reach the reciver's hands if the receiver catches the ball at a point 3 ft off the ground.arrow_forwardA car travels in a straight line. It increases its speed from 22 m/s to 28 m/s with a constant acceleration of 0.8 m/s2. How far did it travel during this acceleration?arrow_forwardWhen a ship is sailing, the total cost per hour includes a fixed part p and the fuel cost q that is proportional to the cube of its speed, that is q=kv3.) Determine the minimum value of the total cost per 1 mile.arrow_forward
- A kite 40 m above the ground moves horizontally at the rate of 3 m/s. At what rate is the angle between the string and the horizontal decreasing when 80 m of string has been let out?arrow_forwardA Ball is thrown Vertically into the air at 120 m/s ,after 3 secanother ball is thrown.what initial velocity must the second ball have to pass the first ball at 100 m from the ground 44arrow_forwardA player kicks a football from ground level with an initial velocity of 27 m/s, 30 degrees above the horizontal. Find the range reached by the football.arrow_forward
- A spherical dust particle, with a radius a=0.11mm and density of 1030kg/m3, is sedimenting in the quiescent air that has a viscosity of μ=1.81×10−5 kg/m⋅s. The particle experiences the gravitational force, with g=9.81m/s2, as well as a friction force from the viscous air that can be described by F=−6πμaU, where U is the instantaneous velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle is governed by the Newton's second law. At the time t=0, the dust particle has a downward speed of 0.17m/s. Use the Euler's method, and a time step of h=0.1s, calculate: When t=0.1s, the downward speed of the dust particle is m/sarrow_forwardA baseball diamond has the shape of a square with sides 90 feet long. Suppose that player A is the current batter. Thus, player B is at first base and player C is at the second base. When player A hit the baseball, player B runs at a speed of 20 ft/sec toward second base and player C runs at a speed of 25 ft/sec toward third base. How fast is the distance between player B and player C changing 1 second after the ball was hit?arrow_forwardHow much work is done by a variable force F(x) = (60 − x) N that moves an object along a straight line in the direction of F from x = 3m to x = 24 m?arrow_forward
