A 0.3 kg ball on a rail is rolled down an incline, and then rolls across a table on a horizontal rail. It leaves the rail, and strikes the floor. Assume friction on the rail is negligible. A student finds that it takes 0.055 seconds to pass through a pair of photogates that are 0.183 m apart. The edge of the rail is 1.11 m above the floor. Find the horizontal velocity of the ball as it passes through the photogates. m/s How long does it take to hit the ground after leaving the rail? How far away from the edge of the table should a student place a coin so that the ball would hit the coin? m

An engineering student throws a calculator straight up to a COVID-quarantined friend, who is leaning out a window 5.12 m above. The friend catches the calculator 1.43 s later and immediately sanitizes it and her hands. Taking up as the positive direction, find the calculator's velocity v just before it was caught.
SITUATION 9. A small projectile is fired vertically downward into a fluid medium with an initial velocity of 60m/s. Due to the drag resistance of the fluid the projectile experiences a deceleration of a = -0.4v³m/s², where v is in m/s. Determine the projectile's velocity and position 4 s after it is fired.
A golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 2.60 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 17.3 m/s at an angle of 52.0° above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.

Danielle launches a ball off of a platform of height h with velocity vo at an angle 0 above the horizontal. A wall with a ball-sized hole a height H above the floor, with H > h, is a horizontal distance L = 24.0 m away from Danielle. The difference in height between H and h is one-twelfth of L, and the square of the magnitude of the velocity, v, is three-halves of the product gL.

As part of an obstacle course, an athlete must kick a soccer ball into a 1 meter wide and 10 meter deep pit such that the ball hits a target at the bottom of the pit. In practice, a dynamics student that is participating in the race kicks the soccer ball such that the soccer ball will bounce off the far wall of the pit 5 meters below the surface and head towards the target. If the velocity of the ball before striking the wall at point at point A is v4 = 2.6i – 10j m, determine the t-component of the ) after striking the wall. The size of the ball and the target ball velocity vector (in are negligible relative to the dimensions of the pit, the gravity acceleration must be considered as g 10 m and the coefficient of restitution at point A is e =0.35. 5 m t 10 m 1m 三
At a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 48.7m above a horizontal field and descending at a rate of 2.67m/s. At this instant, a girl who is riding in the gondola of the balloon throws a ball with a speed of 14.7m/s with a direction that is horizontal in the frame of the gondola. When the balloon lands on the ground, how far, in meters, is she from where the ball landed? Neglect air resistance.
In my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0. The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ. Any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this problem for quite a while and I am not making progress.
