- Q1. A roofer tosses a small tool to the ground. What minimum magnitude of horizontal velocity is required to just miss the roof corner B? Also determine the distance d.arrow_forwardP2. A ball is kicked from the origin with an initial speed of v1, = 25.0 m/s, at an angle 0 with the horizontal. At the same time, a second ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground at point P, at x, = 40.0 m with an initial speed of v, = 15.0 m/s as shown in the figure below. Assume that both balls are shot at time t= 0 a) If the two balls are to hit each other, what must 0 be? b) At what time the two balls will hit each other? y 40 marrow_forward2. At the figure shown, object A and B was released at the same time. Object A has an initial velocity of 3m/s . If object A and B strikes each other at a horizontal distance of 30m, detemine (a) initial velocity of B (b) time when the two objects reached the ground (c) vertical distance at which particle A is launched.

- 5- A ball is dropped onto a step at point A and rebounds with a velocity vo at an angle of 15° with the vertical. Determine the value of v, knowing that just before the ball bounces at point B its velocity vg forms an angle of 12° with the vertical. 15° A 12 0.2 m Вarrow_forwardPlease solve the following practice problems in step by step solution please Thank you!arrow_forward3. From approximately what floor of a building must a car be dropped from an at-rest position so that it reaches a speed of 80.7 ft/s (55 mi/h) when it hits the ground? Each floor is 12 ft higher than the one below it. (Note: You may want to remember this when traveling 55 mi/h)arrow_forward
- This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. The pitcher in a softball game throws a ball with an initial velocity v0 of 72 km/h at an angle α with the horizontal. Given, the height of the ball at point B is 0.68 m. Determine the angle θ that the velocity of the ball at point B forms with the horizontal. The angle θ that the velocity of the ball at point B forms with the horizontal is °.? Note: please show step by step solution. Hence, double check the solution. For correction purposes!. I require handwritten working out please!. Kindly, please meticulously, check the image for conceptual understanding and for extra information purposes!. Also on occasions, I receive wrong answers!!. Please go through the question and working out step by step when you finish them. Appreciate your time!.arrow_forward88arrow_forwardQ4 2. A ball is launched with an initial velocity of Vo = 4.5 m/s from point P at a 30° sloped surface with an angle of 0. The ball lands at point B, which is 0.6 m higher than point A. Determine the launch angle 0 of the ball, the impact velocity at B (vB), the angle vg makes with the horizontal and the duration of the flight. Also determine the radius of curvature of the path and the rate of change of the speed of the ball at point C, where its trajectory makes an angle of 60° with the negative x-axis. g 9.81 m/s-.arrow_forward
- 2. A 0.600-kg particle has a speed of 2.00 m/s at point A and kinetic energy of 7.50 J at point B. What is (a) its kinetic energy at A? (b) its speed at B? (c) the total work done on the particle as it moves from A to B?arrow_forwardA student on the ground fires a pebble from a catapult with a velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. If the pebble’s flight is interrupted by a vertical wall 12 m away from the student, at what height above the ground does the pebble hit the wall?arrow_forwardA basketball player shoots when she is 16 ft from the backboard. Given the ball has an initial velocity v0 at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Determine the value of v0 when d is equal to 33 in.arrow_forward
