A game requires that two children throw a ball upward as high as possible at the same point and then to run horizontally in opposite directions. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground wins. One child throws the ball at his arm’s height of 4 feet at a speed of 70 ft/sec and runs leftward at a speed of 16 ft/sec. The other child does the same but was able to throw better releasing his ball at a height of 6 feet at a speed of 64 feet second then runs rightward immediately at a speed of 17.8 ft/sec. Which child wins the game?

How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large, (b) It is the same, (c) It is V5 limes larger, (d) It is 6 times larger, (e) It is 6limes larger.
1.An archer shoots an arrow horizontally at a target 15 m away.The arrow is aimed directly at the center of the target, but it hits52 cm lower. What was the initial speed of the arrow? Graph and Explains.
A student stands at the Edge of a Cliff and throws a Stone horizontally Over the edge with a speed of 18 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach. A) What are the components of the initial velocity? B) How long after being released dos the stone strikes the beach below the cliff? C)With what speed does the stone land?

1. Mt Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines and active volcanoes normally emit red-hot rocks and lava rather than smoke and ash. Believe a huge rock is emitted from the volcano with a speed of 30.0 m/s and at an angle 40 above the horizontal. The rock strikes the side of the volcano at an altitude 25.0 m lower than its starting point. (a) Calculate the time it takes the rock to follow this path. (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the rock's velocity at impact?
2. A 124 kg balloon carrying a 22kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 20m/s. A 1 kg stone is thrown from the basket with an initial velocity of 15m/s horizontally measured from the person in the basket. The person sees the stone hit the ground 5 seconds after it was thrown. The balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant velocity of 20m/s. a) How high is the balloon when the stone is thrown? b) How high is the balloon when the stone hits the ground? c) At the instant the stone hits the ground, how far is it from the basket(direct distance) d) Just before the stone hits the ground, what are the horizontal and vertical velocity components measured by an observer i) in the basket ii) on the ground.
student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with aninitial speed v0. At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally fromthe same balcony with an initial speed v0 /2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the followingstatements must be true?a. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed.b. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component.c. Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impactd. The balls reach the ground at the same instant. More than one of the statements can be true.
In this lab's video you will see a steel ball being fired horizontally from a mini-launcher. Assuming that the steel ball is approximately 1 m off the ground when fired and first hits the ground at a distance 2m to the right of its initial position, estimate the launch speed (in m/s) that you might expect to find in this lab. O 6.26 O 4.43 O 9.8 O 0.41 O 0.90
1. A ball is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of ; = 44 m/s at an angle of above the horizontal. It travels a distance Ar = 75 m in the horizontal direction and lands at its original height. What is 0? (Hint 1: examine the ball's motion in both the x and y directions. Hint 2: you may need to use that sin(0) cos(0) = (1/2) sin(20). Hint 3: There are two solutions to this problem; try to find both.) Take g = 9.81 m/s² and show all your work.
