Abram threw his tennis ball upward from the ground at an angle of 50 degrees with respect to the horizontal ground. It left his hand with an initial speed of 40m/sec.a) What is the time it will take it be before the tennis ball hits the ground?b) how far from the starting point will it strike?c) what is the maximum height reached?d) where will the body be (horizontal and vertical distances) after 10 secs?

a) T = 2uSinθ / g T = (2×40×Sin50°)/9.8 T = 6.25 sec b) R = u2Sin2θ / g R = 402Sin100° / 9.81 R…

Several people stand on a bridge over a river. The bridge is not level, so the people are all different heights above the river. Each person throws a stone to the river. a) The first person is 26.8 m above the river and throws her stone with a speed of 16.6 m/s at an angle of 6 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). How long does it take her stone to hit the water, in seconds? b) The second person is 19.0 m above the river and throws his stone with a speed of 17.1 m/s at an angle of -21.4 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the range of his stone, in meters? c)The third person is 9.1 m above the river and throws their stone with a speed of 6.5 m/s at an angle of 9.3 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the speed of this stone (in m/s) just before it strikes the river?
1. The distance between home plate and the pitcher's mound in baseball is 60.5 ft. In MLB, baseballs are. pitched at about 90mph. Assume the ball is thrown perfectly horizontally, at 0°. How far in feet will the ball drop during its transit to home plate? Use g = 32 ft/s². (Note: this is why pitcher's mounds are raised.) 2.

A rock was thrown horizontally from a 100.0 m high cliff. It strikes the ground 90.0 m from the base of the cliff. a) At what speed was it thrown? b) How long did it take to hit the ground. c) Neglecting wind resistance, which component of velocity is affected by gravity VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL? d) Sketch the trajectory of the rock as it falls to the ground and include the velocity vector at the beginning, midway down, and just before striking the ground. e) After you determine the total time in the air, you can then determine the final vertical velocity vector combined with the horizontal velocity determined earlier. Use these vectors to determine the resultant velocity vector just before landing. Recall using Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the velocity vector and trigonometry for the angle below the horizontal that the resultant vector strikes at.
