Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45" over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. Assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizon and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. Consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. Take "north" and "up" as the positive x- and y-directions, respectively, and use g z 10 m/s for the downward acceleration due to gravity.

A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 57.5-m building and lands 114.8 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (Assume the ball is thrown in the +x direction and upward to be in the +y direction.) What is the vertical component of the velocity (in m/s) just before the ball hits the ground? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
Make a prediction regarding what launch angle will produce the maximum horizontal range for a projectile launched from level ground and landing back on level ground. Provide reasoning to support your hypothesis.
A student measures a height of 1.32m for the gun when it is positioned horizontally. The gun is now angled at 30 degrees. The launch velocity of the gun is 2.947m/s. Calculate the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components of the launch velocity of the angled gun.
Imagine an archer preparing to fire an arrow. The archer aims the arrow directly ahead, that is to say, parallel with the ground. Bows are drawn to the corner of the mouth when fired. Let's say, for this particular archer, that puts the arrow 1.8 m (about 5.5 feet) above the ground. Assume that we have measured the initial speed of arrows fired by this archer with this bow and it is 100 m/s. (Ignore wind resistance) a) At what point during the arrow's flight will it be moving the fastest? (Be careful here, think about it. You don't need to do any calculations to figure this out.) b) How long will it take for the arrow to hit the ground?c) How far will the arrow travel during this time period?
A football thrown over a level field travels a horizontal distance of 17 m before hitting the ground. The point of release is 1.5 m above the ground and the projection angle is 16. What is the ball’s initial speed?
A golfer tees off from a location precisely at Φi = 35.0° north latitude. He hits the ball due south, with range 285 m. The ball’s initial velocity is at 48.0° above the horizontal. Suppose air resistance is negligible for the golf ball. (a) For how long is the ball in flight? The cup is due south of the golfer’s location, and the golfer would have a hole-in-one if the Earth were not rotating. The Earth’s rotation makes the tee move in a circle of radius RE cos Φi = (6.37 x 106 m) cos 35.0° as shown. The tee completes one revolution each day. (b) Find the eastward speed of the tee relative to the stars. The hole is also moving east, but it is 285 m farther south and thus at a slightly lower latitude Φf. Because the hole moves in a slightly larger circle, its speed must be greater than that of the tee. (c) By how much does the hole’s speed exceed that of the tee? During the time interval the ball is in flight, it moves upward and downward as well as southward with the projectile motion,…
Acertain airplane has a speed of 297.6 km/h and is diving at an angle of 0 = 33.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 651 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point?
A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of 45.9° with the vertical, releases a projectile at an altitude of 680 m. The projectile hits the ground 6.56 s after release. (a) What is the speed of the plane? (b) How far does the projectile travel horizontally during its flight? What were the magnitudes of the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical components of its velocity just before striking the ground? (State your answers to (c) and (d) as positive numbers.)
A projectile is shot in the air from ground level with an initial velocity of 500 m/sec at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) What is the total flight time (in seconds) of the projectile?
