A ball is thrown from a rooftop with an initial downward velocity of magnitude vo = 4.9 m/s. The rooftop is a distance above the ground, h = 29 m. In this problem use a coordinate system in which upwards is positive.
A: Find the vertical component of the velocity, vfy, in meters per second, with which the ball hits the ground.
B: If we wanted the ball's final speed to be exactly 27.3 m/s, from what height, hnew (in meters), would we need to throw it with the same initial velocity?
c: If the height is fixed at 29 m, but we wanted the ball's final speed to be 32.7 m/s, what would the vertical component of the initial velocity viy need to be, in meters per second?

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.42arrow_forwardA baseball is dropped from an altitude h = 210 ft and is found to be traveling at 100 ft/sec when it strikes the ground. In addition to gravitational acceleration, which may be assumed constant, air resistance causes a deceleration component of magnitude kv², where v is the speed and k is a constant. Determine the value of the coefficient k. Plot the speed of the baseball as a function of altitude y. If the baseball were dropped from a high altitude, but one at which g may still be assumed constant, what would be the terminal velocity v? (The terminal velocity is that speed at which the acceleration of gravity and that due to air resistance are equal and opposite, so that the baseball drops at a constant speed.) If the baseball were dropped from h = 210 ft, at what speed vwould it strike the ground if air resistance were neglected?
