Let us consider the fall of a pole vaulter as aprojectile once he releases the pole. The pole hasa lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releasesthe pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feetwide and 16 feet long, which protects him in thefall.If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ftabove the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at anangle of 73 degrees.Enter the horizontal distance that the athlete willtravel with the indicated conditions, add the unitsin the result

Solution: At a height of 13.7ft, an athlete has an initial speed of 15.7ft/s at an angle of…

As illustrated in the figure, consider a soccer player kicking a stationary ball of mass m = 0.5 kg. Assuming that the air resistance is negligible, the ball undergoes a projectile motion (shown in figure). It is recorded that the angle of release of the ball is 0 = 25.2° and the maximum height reached by the ball is h = 4.5 m. If the time during which the foot of the soccer player remained in contact with the ball is At = determine: (a) The speed of release, V, of the ball 0.12 s, (b) The horizontal distance, I, between the initial position of the ball and the landing point (c) The momentum, p, of the ball at the instant of takeoff (d) The magnitude of force, F, applied on the ball by the soccer player У
