A softball player hits the ball and starts running toward first base. Draw a motion diagram, using the particle model, showing her velocity vectors during the first few seconds of her run.
The application of physics is everywhere. In school, physics applications can be seen in other learning areas like physical education (P.E). When you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle do you intend to kick the ball?
Please assist with this question with details on how to do it. Thank you.
Mayan kings and many school sports team are named for the puma, cougar, or mountain lion - felis concolor- the best jumper among animals. It can jump to a height of 12 ft when leaving the ground at an angle of 45 degrees. With the speed , in SI units, does it leave the ground to make this leap?
