A gannet is a seabird that fishes by diving from a great height. If a gannet hits the water at 32 m/s (which they do), what height did it dive from? Assume that the gannet was motionless before starting its dive.
A projectile launcher is clamped to a bench with the muzzle 0.85 m from the floor. It launches a small ball at an angle of 35° with a velocity of 15.5 m/s. The ball travels freely until it eventually hits the floor, assuming no air resistance or draughts calculate the following: a) The time it takes to reach its maximum height. b) The maximum height of the ball above the floor. c) The total time the ball spent in the air d) The total distance travelled horizontally by the ball from the end of the muzzle to its first impact with the floor.
Imagine that you hit a ball at ground level and send it toward the wall with a speed at 18 m/s at an angle of 32° above the horizontal. (a) How long does it take for the ball to reach the wall if it is 3.8 m away. (b) How high is the ball when it hits the wall?
A projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?
During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 185 m with a constant velocity of 44.0 m/s and dropped one bale of hay every 4.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground?
A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 9.0 m/s then falls back to its initial position. If you are to ignore the air resistance, what will be the total displacement of the ball?
Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s at an angle of 30°, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims a distance L under water at a speed of 3.70 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver. Determine the average speed of the fish.
A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs off the roof horizontally at a speed of 5 m/s, hoping to land on the roof of an adjacent building. Air resistance is negligible. The horizontal distance between the two buildings is D, and the roof of the adjacent building is 3.0 m below the jumping-off point. Find the maximum value for D.
A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 20.0 m high, located 110 m from home plate.
