Concept explainers
Mickey Mantle is recognized as baseball's unofficial king of long home runs. On April 17, 1953 Mantle blasted a pitch by Chuck Stobbs of the hapless Washington Senators out of Griffith Stadium, just clearing the 50 ft wall at the 391 ft marker in left center. Assuming that the ball left the bat at a height of 3 ft above the ground and at an angle of
(a) the speed of the ball as it left the bat
(b) the maximum height of the ball
(c) the distance along the ground from home plate to where the ball struck the ground.

If the target diameter is 240 mm and the target center is at the same altitude as the end of the rifle barrel, determine the range of "shallow" launch angles for which the round will strike the target. Neglect aerodynamic drag and assume that the round is directed along the vertical centerline of the target. (Note: The word "shallow" indicates a low-flying trajectory for the round.) 845 m/s 0 Answers: i 0.01044 1510 m °≤0≤ i 1.5604 Barrow_forward

Once all the passengers have been loaded, the wheel makes one full rotation counterclockwise in 3 min. Suppose that a couple is seated at the lowest point on the wheel and are the last passengers to be loaded. a. Write a model representing the couple's horizontal position x (in feet) relative to the center of the Ferris wheel, t minutes after the ride starts. b. Write a model representing the couple's height y (in feet) above ground level, t minutes after the ride starts. c. Give the coordinates of the couple's position 2 min into the ride and tell if they are going up or down. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.arrow_forward

Let the positive x direction be east and the positive y direction be north. What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of d→1? What are (c) the x component and (d) the y component of d→2? What are (e) the x component and (f) the y component of d→3? What are (g) the x component and (h) the y component, (i) the magnitude, and (j) the direction of the ant's net displacement? If the ant is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move?
