Explanation Given information: The initial velocity of a hockey puck: v o = 105 m i / h Figure P11.113 Calculations: Given v o = 105 m i / h or, v o = 105 m i / h = 105 × 88 60 f t / s v o = 154 f t / s Horizontal and vertical components of velocity at point A: ( v o ) x = 154 cos α a n d , ( v o ) y = 154 sin α considering the horizontal motion: x = x o + ( v o ) x t At point B (front of the net), x = 16 f t ∴ 16 = ( 154 cos α ) t o r , t = 8 77 cos α ........ ( 1 ) Now, considering the vertical motion: y = y o + ( v o ) y t − 1 2 g t 2 At point B (front of the net), let y = y f r o n t ∴ y f r o n t = 0 + ( 154 sin α ) t − 1 2 g t 2 s u b s t i t u t i n g v a l u e o f t f r o m e q To determine (b) The corresponding time required for the puck to reach the net.

2 Problem A Charlotte 49ers quarterback releases a ball with speed vo= 80 ft/s and at an angle of 00 = 35 deg relative to the horizontal, as shown below. Calculate how fast the speed of the football is changing and the radius of curvature after (a) t = 1 seconds and (b) t = 2 seconds. ი.

An oscillating garden sprinkler which discharges water with an initial velocity v0 of 8 m/s is used to water a vegetable garden. Determine the distance d to the farthest point B that will be watered and the corresponding angle α when (a) the vegetables are just beginning to grow, (b) the height h of the corn is 1.8 m.

A ball is suspended from a light 1.4 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 28 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?
