Question

SITUATION 10. A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 160 feet and
explode at an apex of 200 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle theta = 60° above the
horizontal, determine the common launch speed vo for the shells, the separation distance d between the launch points A
and B, and the time from launch at which the shells explode.

Ash, being a cruel person that he was, threw a Pokeball to catch another clueless and innocent supernatural animal to be used in a derby-like tournament to death. He launched it at 20m/s and a launch angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal. Determine the horizonal distance of the Pokemon from the Pokeball. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the Pokeball just before it hits the Pokemon?

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 projectile is fired with initial speed 150 m/s and an angle of elevation 45° from a position 10 m above ground level. Where does the projectile hit the ground and with what speed? Solution If we place the origin at ground level, then the initial position of the projectile is (0, 10) and so we need to adjust the parametric equations of the trajectory by adding 10 to the expression for y. With v0 = 150 m/s, ? = 45°, and g = 9.8 m/s2, we have x = 150 cos ? 4 t = y = 10 + 150 sin ? 4 t − 1 2 (9.8)t2 = . Impact occurs when y = 0, that is 4.9t2 − 75 2 t − 10 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation (and using only the positive value of t), we get the following. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) t = 75 2 + 11,250 + 196 9.8 ≈ Then x ≈ 75 2 (21.74) ≈ (rounded to the nearest whole number), so the projectile hits the ground about…
Trent is running along a circular track that has a radius of 45 meters. Trent starts at the 3-o'clock position and travels in the CCW direction, stopping after 106 meters. Imagine an angle with a vertex at the center of the circular track that subtends the path Trent has traveled. When Trent stops, what is his horizontal distance from the center of the track?
Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle ? with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(?)) and y = h + (v0 sin ?)t - 16t2.Let h=6, v0=63.25, and ?=0.79. What is the range of the projectile (i.e., how far does it travel? Round your answers to two decimal places).
