At what point is the magnitude of the ball's velocity at a minimum?

A parent at a Little League game returns a foul ball by throwing it back onto the field. When the parent throws the ball back, she is standing and ends up releasing the ball from a point that is 2.50m above the ground. Your best guess is that she threw the ball upward at an angle of 60o with respect to the ground and it landed 13m away from her. What was the height of the ball's apex (as measured from the ground)?
8. You fire a ball with an initial speed of v at an angle o above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle e above the horizontal. a) Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b) What angle o gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance.
3. A cannon on Earth (located at the origin) launches a projectile, of mass m, horizontally at height y = 0 m with speed vo, as shown in the figure below: y (m) ↑ x (m) Fw There is a strong wind that imparts a force with constant magnitude Fw, in the negative x-direction, on the projectile as it is airborne. Vo
A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 89 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 56 ft. Determine the distance h by which the ball clears the top of the cliff and the time t after release for the ball to land at B. Also, calculate the magnitude of the impact velocity vB. Neglect air resistance and the small horizontal motion of the ball.
A ball is thrown in the air with an initial velocity of 40.83 m/s at an angle of 68.59° above the horizontal from the top of a 38.10 m building. When the ball hits the ground, it bounces back again at a similar angle but its velocity has been reduced to 88.26% of its final velocity. Determine the maximum height of the ball from its fourth bounce to its fifth bounce assuming the ground 18 a horizontal flat surface.
A projectile is fired with initial speed 150 m/s and an angle of elevation 45° from a position 10 m above ground level. Where does the projectile hit the ground and with what speed? Solution If we place the origin at ground level, then the initial position of the projectile is (0, 10) and so we need to adjust the parametric equations of the trajectory by adding 10 to the expression for y. With v0 = 150 m/s, ? = 45°, and g = 9.8 m/s2, we have x = 150 cos ? 4 t = y = 10 + 150 sin ? 4 t − 1 2 (9.8)t2 = . Impact occurs when y = 0, that is 4.9t2 − 75 2 t − 10 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation (and using only the positive value of t), we get the following. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) t = 75 2 + 11,250 + 196 9.8 ≈ Then x ≈ 75 2 (21.74) ≈ (rounded to the nearest whole number), so the projectile hits the ground about…
Goro Shigeno (Pitcher) and Joe Gibson Jr. (hitter) went head to head in the Major League Baseball (MLB) series. For the last pitch, Gibson hits the baseball with 82 ft/s at angle of 75°. When the ball is directly above Shigeno he begins to run under it. Determine the (a) the total distance that the pitcher runs and (b) the constant speed at which pitcher must run in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit. (Note: the distance between the pitcher and hitter is 70 ft.)
A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, h, - 5.30 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h-7.80 m high, to form a 15-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 0-53.0° above the horizontal at a point d-24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. mis (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball dears the wall. Find the nortzontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands Need Help? Hea
After starting from the position marked with the “x”, a football receiver B runs the slant-in pattern shown, making a cut at P and thereafter running with a constant speed vB = 6.4 yd/sec in the direction shown. The quarterback releases the ball with a horizontal velocity of 99 ft/sec at the instant the receiver passes point P. Determine the angle at α which the quarterback must throw the ball, and the velocity of the ball relative to the receiver when the ball is caught. Neglect any vertical motion of the ball.
A baseball player hits a ball 1.1m above the plate at an angle of 42 degrees at a speed of 35 m/s. In order to hit a home run, the ball has to clear a 2.4 m tall wall, 120 m away from the plate. a) sketch the situation, including a coordinate system and the ball's trajectory. b)how many seconds is the ball in the air, which it reaches the wall? c) does the ball go over the wall for a home run? (find its vertical position at the appropriate time) d) what is the ball's speed and direction, as it reaches the wall?
A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. It is fired at an angle of 37 degrees with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 36 m/s. Air resistance is negligible in this situation. Call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction. Maximum height the projectile reaches: 23.948m Projectile speed at max height: 28.751m/s Earliest time when the height of the projectile is half of its maximum value: 0.648s The projectile is fired toward a wall that is a horizontal distance 106.6m from where the projectile was fired. What was the height of the projectile when it hit the wall?
A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizontally from an elevation 4.0 mm above the ground. The ball lands 30 mm away.
