A baseball is hit so that it travels straight upward after being struck by the bat. A fan observes that it takes 3.10 s for the ball to reach its maximum height. (a) Find the ball's initial velocity. m/s upward (b) Find the height it reaches. m
A football player catches a pass 49 m from the end zone and runs down the sideline at vp = 5.6 m/s. A defending player directly across on the other sideline, 53.3 yd (48.8 m) away, runs to intercept. If the defending player runs in a straight line, with what minimum speed (in m/s) must they run to intercept the player before reaching the end zone?
An object is moving in the positive direction along thex - axis. Sketch plots of the object’s position vs. time and velocityvs. time if (a) its speed is constant, (b) it’s speeding up ata constant rate, and (c) it’s slowing down at a constant rate.
A golfer wants to put the ball into the final hole which lies 7.0 m away from the ball and up a slight hill. Because of the incline while the ball moves up this hill will experience a constant deceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. Which initial velocity should the golfer give the ball if they want to make it go precisely into the hole? Please answer in m/s
If we apply the above equations to the case of an object that does not change its direction of travel as it moves with constant acceleration, we find that the object: Undergoes a displacement Ax = x- x, . Note that displacement is a positive quantity if x > x, and a negative quantity if x < x,. Has average velocity v = (x - x )/t = (v + vo)/2. Note that velocity has the same sign as displacement. Travels distance d = |Ax| = |x – x,| . Note that distance is always a positive quantity. Has average speed d/t . Note that speed is always a positive quantity. Has constant acceleration a = (v – vo)/t . Acceleration may be positive or negative, depending on how velocity changes. - Xo For the case of an object that does change its direction of travel as it moves with constant acceleration, which of the quantities listed above are different?

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The free- fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 29 m/sm/s at an angle 36 ⁰⁰ above the horizontal. A) How long was the ball in flight? B) How far did it travel? C) Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would it travel on the moon than on earth?
