You are to throw a ball with a speed of 13.4 m/s at a target that is height h = 3.50 m above the level at which you release the ball (see the figure). You want the ball's velocity to be horizontal at the instant it reaches the target. (a) At what angle θ above the horizontal must you throw the ball? (b) What is the horizontal distance from the release point to the target? (c) What is the speed of the ball just as it reaches the target?
A) A student throws a dart horizontally toward the center of a target, X, at a speed of 20 m/s as shown. The dart flies for 0.1 s and then hits below the center, at Y. How much lower, in m, does it hit? B) A drone at too great a height drops a box. The box drops straight down the ground and hits at 100 m/s smashing the contents. Neglecting air friction, approximately, how high, in m was the drone? C) is in the picture
The position of a particle is given by i= (7.7t +7)i- 3tj+5k, where F in (m) and t in (s). The magnitude of the velocity (in m/s) at t= 19.6 s is:
A particle confined to the xy-plane is in uniform circular motion around the origin. The x- and y-coordinates of the particle vary with time as follows: x(t) = r sin(cot) y(t) = r cos(cot). where >= 2.60 m and c = 2.15 s-¹. What are the x- and y-components of the particle's acceleration at an instant when x = 1.00 m and y = 2.40 m. Give your answers by entering numbers into the empty boxes below. ax || || X x² ms ms-2.
A man stands on the roof of a 15.0-m-tall building and throwsa rock with a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 33.0 above the horizontal.Ignore air resistance. Calculate the maximum height above the roof that the rock reaches
A skier is at the top of a hill with height h. Starting from rest, the skier goes down to a flat area. On this flat area, there is a section of the slope with length D where the snow has melted (there is friction here). After passing the melted section, the skier goes up a smaller hill of height h2. At the top of this hill there is a drop off and the skier launches off of it with a horizontal speed. At what horizontal distance from the base of the jump does the skier land?
A ball rolls horizontally off the edge of a tabletop that is 1.40 m high. It strikes the floor at a point 1.32 m horizontally away from the table edge. (Neglect air resistance. (a) How long was the ball in the air? (b) What was Its speed at the instant it left the table? m/s Submit 0ncuor
The velocity of a particle moving in thex-y plane is given by (4.03i + 7.36j) m/s at time t = 3.64 s. Its average acceleration during the next 0.020 s is (2.2i + 2.6j) m/s?. Determine the velocity v of the particle at t = 3.660 s and the angle e between the average- acceleration vector and the velocity vector at t = 3.660 s. Answers: v= ( i i+ i j) m/s e =
Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.0 m/s at a height 1.6 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.
7:29 Search We investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 92 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 8.75 m/s² as it comes to rest. (a) From the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest? (b) Can this jet land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long? (c) Explain your answer. Step 1 We know the initial speed of the jet when it touches the runway, and we know that its final speed is zero. We also know the maximum magnitude that its acceleration can have when it comes to rest. We need to find the stopping distance for the jet and we need to compare this stopping distance to the length of the runway on the island airport. 10.47 Step 2 We use the maximum acceleration and the initial and final velocities to determine the minimum stopping time. We know the initial and final velocities of the jet…
When a chronometer begins with a time of zero seconds, matching soccer balls have a horizontal separation, d=6.28m. The ball on the left is released from the ground with an initial velocity of magnitude v0 directed toward the other soccer ball. The ball on the right has an initial height h1=3.17m and is momentarily at rest. A short time later, the matching soccer balls collide at the collision point, C, at a height h2-1.69m above the ground, as indicated on the diagram. Ignore the finite size of the balls, and additionally ignore any air resistance. (Dimensions are not to scale.) Part (a) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the elapsed time, in seconds, at which the matching soccer balls collide. Part (b) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the initial velocity of the soccer ball on the left.
