A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 120 mph at angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them. If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical speed)?

Question

Your answer is partially correct.
A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the
opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is
set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 120 mph at
angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the
building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them.
If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a)
magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical
speed)?

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.
An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. What is the relationship between the directions of the object's velocity and acceleration vectors? The velocity vector points in a direction tangent to the circular path. The acceleration is zero. The velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular. The velocity and acceleration vectors point in opposite directions. The velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction. The velocity vector points toward the center of the circular path. The acceleration is zero.
A hiking girl needs to go 39.2 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 17.248 km at a 3.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 17.8° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 30.576 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?

A small child is learning to ride a bike for the first time. Her dad decides it would be a good idea to start her on a small hill. The hill is inclined at 3.40° to the horizontal. The child starts partway down the hill, 4.00 m away from her dad, who stays at the top. She starts to wobble, so her dad sprints toward her from rest with an acceleration of 3.80 m/s2. How far has the child gone before her parent catches her?

You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0° W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?
