Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 48° with respect to the 50-yard line (the +x-axis) and covers 7.0 m in 1 s. He then runs straight down the field at 90° with respect to the 50-yard line (that is, in the +y-direction) for 23 m, with an elapsed time of 3.7 s. (Express your answers in vector form.)

In the javelin throw at a track and field event, the javelin is launched at a speed of 8.2 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. How far has it traveled horizontally (in meters) after 2.0 seconds?
Miltiadis Tentoglou is the current Olympic gold medalist for the running long jump. In one of Miltiadis’ practices, he insanely attempts to jump five people who are laid out on the ground in single file from head to toe. Each of the five individuals are 1.7 meters in height and when Miltiadis launches off the ground his initial resultant velocity is directed 20 degrees above the horizon and the horizontal component of this resultant velocity is 10 m/s. In executing the jump, Miltiadis’ center of mass drops 0.6 meters vertically from the instant of takeoff to the instant of landing. Calculate Miltiadis’ a) initial and final vertical velocities in m/s, b) initial and final resultant velocity magnitudes in m/s, c) total time in the air in seconds and d) how far he was able to jump horizontally in meters. e) How many centimeters of clearance did Miltiadis have on both sides of the jump when jumping the five individuals (assume the clearance distance is the same on both sides of the…
In the annual battle of the dorms, students gather on the roofs of Jackson and Walton dorms to launch water balloons at each other with slingshots. The horizontal distance between the buildings is 36.0 m, and the heights of the Jackson and Walton buildings are, respectively, 18.0 m and 20.0 m. The first balloon launched by the Jackson team hits Walton dorm 2.00 s after launch, striking it halfway between the ground and the roof. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find the direction of the balloon's initial velocity. Give your answer as an angle (in degrees) measured above the horizontal. (b) A second balloon launched at the same angle hits the edge of Walton's roof. Find the initial speed of this second balloon.

Standing on top of a tower, a man launches a stone at time t=0 from a point 15.0 m above ground level. At the instant of launch, the stone has a speed of u = 5.00 m s-¹ and moves in a direction that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal x-axis. At t = 2.00 s, the stone is still above ground level. 5x = Sy = 18 What are the x- and y-components of the stone's displacement relative to its launch point at time t = 2.00 s, and what is the stone's distance from its launch point at this time? Enter numbers, correct to 2 significant figures, in the three empty boxes below: S = 30 X B m m X В

A quarterback takes the ball from the line of scrimmage, runs backwards for 13.0 yards, then runs sideways parallel to the line of scrimmage for 19.0 yards. At this point, he throws a 52.0-yard forward pass straight downfield, perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. What is the magnitude of the football's resultant displacement?
One of the tasks of the Mighty Hercules was to protect the town of Nemea from a lion. One day Hercules sees the lion 320 feet away. He strings his bow and lets an arrow fly. The arrow leaves his bow travelling at 210 feet per second from a height of 6 feet. He wants to hit the lion in the neck above the shoulders which is 4 feet off of the ground. determine the launch angle that will hit the Lion. Find the right angle.
Problem 38. The distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate is 18.4 m. The mound is 0.2 m above the level of the field. A pitcher throws a fastball with an initial speed of 35 m/s. At the moment the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, it is 2.2 m above the mound. What should be the angle between the ball's initial velocity and the horizontal if the ball is to cross the plate a height of 1 m above the ground? (Neglect air resistance.)
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity 38 m/s and an angle from the horizontal of 45°. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². Assume the projectile is launched from the surface of the Earth. i.e., at y (0) = 0. then the altitude of the projectile as a function of time is: y(t) = gt² + vo sin(0)t Where vo is the initial velocity. What is the maximum altitude achieved by the projectile?
