An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in the figure, but that the ball's speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce. 8 (a) Assuming the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle & should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 35.0° with no bounce (green path)? 24 (b) Determine the ratio of the time interval for the one-bounce throw to the flight time for the no-bounce throw.

Antlion larvae lie in wait for prey at the bottom of a conical pit about 5.0 cm deep and 3.8 cm in radius. When a small insect ventures into the pit, it slides to the bottom and is seized by the antlion. If the prey attempts to escape, the antlion rapidly launches grains of sand at the prey, either knocking it down or causing a small avalanche that returns the prey to the bottom of the pit. Suppose an antlion launches grains of sand at an angle of 72 above the horizon. Find the launch speed v0 required to hit a target at the top of the pit, 5.0 cm above and 3.8 cm to the right of the antlion.
Prove that the trajectory of a projectile is parabolic, having the form y=ax+bx2. To obtain this expression, solve the equation x=v0xt for t and substitute it into the expression for y=v0yt(1/2)gt2 (These equations describe the x and y positions of a projectile that starts at the origin.) You should obtain an equation of the form y=ax+bx2 where a and b are constants.
A ball is thrown with an initial speed i at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R. and the ball reaches a maximum height R/6. In terms of R and g, find (a) the time interval during which the ball is in motion, (b) the balls speed at the peak of its path, (c) the initial vertical component of its velocity, (d) its initial speed, and (e) the angle i, (f) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but at the angle appropriate for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height. (g) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed but at the angle for greatest possible range. Find this maximum horizontal range.
Peter throws a baseball through a houses window. He stands 3.4 m from the window. The ball starts in his hand 1.1m above the ground and goes through the window at a point 2.4 m off the ground. a. Sketch the problem, including an xy coordinate system with the origin on the ground directly below the initial position of the ball, the y axis pointing upward, and the x axis pointing toward the house. b. What are the initial and final coordinates of the ball?
A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed v0. At the same time, a second student drops a lighter blue ball from the same balcony. Neglecting air resistance, which statement is true? (a) The blue ball reaches the ground first, (b) The balls reach the ground at the same instant, (c) The red ball reaches the ground first, (d) Both balls hit the ground with the same speed, (e) None of statements(a) through(d) is true.
Vector F is proportional to vector A such that F=mA and m is a scalar. a. If A=2.4+3.0j and F=4.0+5.0j, what is m? b. Why is it impossible to have A=2.4+3.0j and F=4.0+0.50j, given the relationship between the two vectors?
(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)
A boy throws a stone horizontally from the top of a cliff of height h toward the ocean below. The stone strikes the ocean at distance d from the base of the cliff. In terms of h, d, and g, find expressions for (a) the time t at which the stone lands in the ocean, (b) the initial speed of the stone, (c) the speed of the stone immediately before it reaches the ocean, and (d) the direction of the stones velocity immediately before it reaches the ocean.
A girl, moving at 8 m/s on in-line skates, is overtaking a boy moving at 5 m/s as they both skate on a straight path.

An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in Figure P3.50, but that the balls speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce. (a) Assume the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed and ignore air resistance. At what angle should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 45.0 with no bounce (green path)? (b) Determine the ratio of the time interval for the one-bounce throw to the flight time for the no-bounce throw.
