47. Review Conceptual Example 14 before attempting this problem. Two identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground?

Dong and Rigo are playing their slingshot, both of them shot a pebble vertically upward. Rigo shot after Dong, but while the Dong’s pebble is still on its way up. The initial speeds are such that both pebbles reach their maximum height at the same instant, although these heights are different. Suppose that the initial speed of the Dong’s pebble is 40.6 m/s and that Rigo’s pebble is shot 1.25s after Dong’s, determined the initial velocity of the Rigo’s pebble.
Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?
2. Niko accidently throws his cellphone out of an open window horizontally with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. Niko quickly looks out the window and notices a friend outside. The window is 8.5 m above the ground. How far away from the building should the friend stand to catch the cell phone at ground level?
1. While hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, you come to the top of a cliff that is 76.8 m high. You throw a stone from the cliff, giving it an initial velocity of 24.6 m/s at 39 above the horizontal. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone land? 2. During a war between two countries, a shell is fired from a canon perched horizontally on a cliff that is 41m above a ground. The speed of the shell is 74.6 m/s and it is fired horizontally (a) Determine the horizontal range of the shell. (b) Determine the velocity of the shell as it strikes the ground. A gym teacher is fired from a cannon into a net (as part of a circus act) that is situated 4.0 m above the cannon and some distance from it. The cannon is elevated at 46.02 to the horizontal and the teacher's speed at launch is 23.9 m/s. 3. (a) Find the horizontal distance from the cannon where the net needs to placed in order for the teacher to land in it. (b) Calculate the teacher's velocity as he lands in the net. 4. Messi…
You are playing Hot Rod toy cars with your nephew and niece. Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.00 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it. What was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the floor?
A cannonball is fired with an initial velocity of 72 m/s, at an angle of 38 ° from the horizontal. a. What are the x and y components of the initial velocity of the cannonball? Vx m/s Vy = m/s b. What are the x and y components of the cannonball's velocity at the highest point of the path? Vx = m/s Vy = m/s
You throw a 19.6-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is 10.0 m above the ground, it is traveling at 20.0 m/s upward. What is the rock's initial speed as it left the ground? 32.4 m/s O 14.0 m/s 24.4 m/s 30.4 m/s O 17.3 m/s
