Glob the alien is playing basketball. Glob is odd, so he likes doing physics while he plays. Glob throws the ball with an initial speed of 11.0m/s towards the hoop. The ball leaves glob's paws at a height of 1.70m above the floor. The ball travels through the air and hits the backboard at a height of 3.50m. If glob knows the ball's velocity is horizontal at the instant it hits the backboard, help glob figure out the following; a) The angle that glob throws the ball (theta) b) The distance between glob and the backboard (x) c) The speed of glob's ball as it hits the backboard (final velocity) Ꮎ 1.7m x 3.5m

1. While hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, you come to the top of a cliff that is 76.8 m high. You throw a stone from the cliff, giving it an initial velocity of 24.6 m/s at 39 above the horizontal. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone land? 2. During a war between two countries, a shell is fired from a canon perched horizontally on a cliff that is 41m above a ground. The speed of the shell is 74.6 m/s and it is fired horizontally (a) Determine the horizontal range of the shell. (b) Determine the velocity of the shell as it strikes the ground. A gym teacher is fired from a cannon into a net (as part of a circus act) that is situated 4.0 m above the cannon and some distance from it. The cannon is elevated at 46.02 to the horizontal and the teacher's speed at launch is 23.9 m/s. 3. (a) Find the horizontal distance from the cannon where the net needs to placed in order for the teacher to land in it. (b) Calculate the teacher's velocity as he lands in the net. 4. Messi…
A projectile is fired from the ground, reaches a maximum height of 66.5 m and lands a distance of 37.6 m away from the launch point. What was the projectile s launch velocity? 5.1 m/s, 65.6 degrees above horizontal 54.8 m/s, 32.8 degrees above horizontal 36.5 m/s, 82.0 degrees above horizontal 36.1 m/s, 41.0 degrees above horizontal
A movie stunt woman takes a running jump from the roof of one building to that of a lower building. She leaves the taller building traveling perfectly horizontally at 6.1 m/s and just makes it to the edge of the roof of the lower building. The horizontal gap between the buildings is 2.8 m. The difference in height between the two buildings is 1.0 m O 1.4 m 2.3 m 2.8 m
A stone is thrown upward from a cliff at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal with a speed of 47 m/s. The stone hits the ground 5.0 s later. a) What is the x component of the stones initial velocity? v47.0m/s 35 O51.0m/s 041.0 m/s 38.5 m/s O270 m/s
Your nephew got a Nerf Bazooka gun for Christmas, so you take it outside to play with it (just like my uncles did when I was little). The bazooka is on your shoulder, 1.5 m above the ground. You aim the gun 25° above the horizontal and the big, foam projectile leaves the gun with an initial velocity of 36 m You accidentally aim the bazooka at a tree that is a horizontal distance of 27 m away. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the tree? t = How high (above the ground) in the tree does the projectile get stuck? hfinal = m Imagine you were more clever and aimed into an empty field with no obstructions. You can control how fast the projectile leaves the gun by pumping more times or fewer times (more pumps = faster projectile). What are TWO ways you could increase the amount of time that the projectile is in the air?
A Doctors without Borders Cargo plane drops a large package of relief medical supplies as it is moving with a horizontal velocity vx = 250. m/s at a height above the flat ground of y=693m. What is the y component of the final velocity of the package in m/s just before it hits the ground?
On planet #3, you fire a projectile horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff 46.4 m above the ground, with an initial speed of 47.9 m/s. The projectile lands 48.3 m away from the base of the cliff. What is the value of g for planet #3? A 45.63 m/s^2 B 51.47 m/s^2 C 90.64 m/s^2 D 91.27 m/s^2
You wake up in a room with no windows. You drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.242 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rockets acceleration to be? 102.6 m/s^2 51.3 m/s^2 70.9 m/s^2 61.1 m/s^2
1e. A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 18.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 20.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (in seconds)
