The T-shirt cannon at the RedBlacks game fires at a shockingly fast 95 km/h. The bleachers are at an angle of 50° from the horizontal and the T-shirt has a mass of 0.15 kg. You are sitting 20 meters above field level and the cannon is Ω Im away from the start of the bleachers. 100 Vo Ꮎ Ω m 100 Aiming Trajectory 20 m h 50° (a) The person firing the cannon does not understand projectile motion and aims the cannon directly at you. Determine the angle (e) at which the T- shirt is fired? (b) Determine the amount of time the T-shirt is in the air before landing on the bleachers. (c) Determine the height (h) that will the t-shirt land. Note: Remember to convert km/h to m/s for calculations (1m/s is 3.6 km/h).

A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on the spinning Earth if the person is (a) at the equator? (b) at some other latitude? (c) at the poles?
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.
A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? Figure P3.16
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45 to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m- high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?

Antlion larvae lie in wait for prey at the bottom of a conical pit about 5.0 cm deep and 3.8 cm in radius. When a small insect ventures into the pit, it slides to the bottom and is seized by the antlion. If the prey attempts to escape, the antlion rapidly launches grains of sand at the prey, either knocking it down or causing a small avalanche that returns the prey to the bottom of the pit. Suppose an antlion launches grains of sand at an angle of 72 above the horizon. Find the launch speed v0 required to hit a target at the top of the pit, 5.0 cm above and 3.8 cm to the right of the antlion.
