A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 21.7 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 19.1 m/s at an angle above the ground. Between what two angles, 0₁ and 02, will the ball clear the 2.67-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec 0 = 1/(cos) and sec²0 = 1 + tan²0.) (a) Number (b) Number Units Units 0₂
Manong Edmond, a jeepney driver, is travelling from Manila City Hall to UST at a constant velocity of 10.23 kph. UST is 2.47 km away from the City Hall. How long will it take (in minutes) for Manong Edmond to reach UST? Assume that the pathway from City Hall to UST is purely linear and that traffic is negligible.

Car A is traveling on a highway at a constant speed. Initial velocity A = 80 mi/h and is 380 ft from the entrance of an on-ramp when car B enters the acceleration lane at that point at a speedInitial speed B = 20.0 mi/h. Car B accelerates uniformly and enters the main traffic lane after traveling 290 ft in 3.3 s. It then continues to accelerate at the same rate until it reaches a speed of 80 mi/h, which it maintains. Determine the final distance between the two cars (in ft).

A bullet is fired through a board, 0.28 cm thick, with its line of motion perpendicular to the face of the board. If it enters with a speed of 50 m/s and emerges with a speed of 15 m/s, what is the bullet's acceleration in m/s as it
(a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 32 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.72 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 24.27 x The time given in the problem can be divided into two intervals: the time for the rock to hit the water and the time for the sound to return to the kicker. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.72 s after kicking the rock? 23.44 Enter a number.
