Sofia is playing a game with her friend, Kara, where she throwsM&M candies at Kara and Kara catches the M&M’s in hermouth. They begin standing 1.75 meters apart from eachother. Sofia throws the M&M at an angle of 60 degrees abovethe horizontal with a speed of 4.13 m/s. Kara’s mouth is145 cm above the ground when she catches the M&M. Whatheight above the ground did the M&M leave Sofia’s hand?Hint: Remember, even though the motion in the horizontaldirection is independent of the motion in the vertical direc-tion, they share the same time.
Use g = 10 m/s/s.
A mortar shell has an initial velocity v0= 13 m/s, at an angle θ0=60º. At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces. One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically. How far horizontally does the other fragment land from where it was fired.
A cannon fires a projectile with a velocity of 304 m/s at an angle of 30.8 ̊ above the horizontal. What is the maximum height that the projectile reaches while in flight?
I need help on this problem: A pipe discharges storm water into a creek. Water flows horizontally out of the pipe at 1.9m/s, and the end of the pipe is 3.5m above the creek. How far out from the end of the pipe is the point where the stream of water meets the creek? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Aldrich is flying a drone and drops a package on a target from a height of 9 m. The drone is traveling horizontally at a speed of 5 m/s. We can ignore air resistance. What is the horizontal displacement of the package during the drop?
A hunter spots a duck flying a given distance, h, above the ground (in meters) and shoots at it with his shotgun. The buckshot leaves the shotgun at an angle equal to 57.7 degrees from the horizontal with a velocity of 105 m/s. The duck is flying at a speed of 30 m/s in a horizontal direction toward the hunter. If the hunter shot when the duck was 200 meters away from the hunter and hit the duck, how high was the duck flying?
A minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole. There is a small obstacle in the way, so the ball cannot simply roll to the hole –it must go up in the air. The player is able to shoot with an initial speed v0 = 7 m/s. The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.
