Question

A mortar shell has an initial velocity v₀= 13 m/s, at an angle θ₀=60º. At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces. One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically. How far horizontally does the other fragment land from where it was fired.

particle A moves along the line y 30 m with a constant velocity of magnitude 3.0 m/s and parallel to the x axis. At the instant particle A passes the y axis, particle B leaves the origin with a zero initial speed and a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.40 m/s2.What angle u between and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision?
Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
You built a pinball machine that has a banked circular track with radius 0.34 m. The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game. You fire pin balls at a constant speed into the track and adjust the banking angle until it works. The banking angle is 21 degrees. Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s? Hint: I have a video on this problem about swing pendulum but the results are very similar, except a string length was given instead of path radius and tension was present instead of normal force. Assume friction is negligible.
A firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics- based reasoning.

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 20.5 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.351 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 33.2 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.

Recently a space x launch vehicle was coasting at a constant velocity of 15m/s in the + y direction relative to a space station . The pilot of the vehicle fired a special RCS thruster which causes it to accelerate at 8m/s^2 in the +x direction . After 9.1 s the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster . After RCS thruster is turned off find the magnitude of the vehicles velocity in +x direction.
On planet #3, you fire a projectile horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff 76.0 m above the ground, with an initial speed of 31.2 m/s. The projectile lands 71.5 m away from the base of the cliff. What is the value of g for planet #3? 848.50 m/s^2 28.94 m/s^2 14.47 m/s^2 12.05 m/s^2
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 17.0 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.291 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 54.3 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.
Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
