|| A man stands on the roof of a 15.0-m-tall building and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 30.0 m/s at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate (a) the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock, (b) the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground, and (c) the horizontal distance from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.

- A football quarterback shows off his skill by throwing a pass 46.00 m downfield and into a bucket. The quarterback consistently launches the ball at 37.00° above horizontal, and the bucket is placed at the same level from which the ball is thrown.

In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed far from the crater. Suppose that one such rock was launched at an angle of 0 = 52.3 degrees above horizontal, and landed a horizontal distance d = 850 m from the crater, and a vertical distance h = 620 m below the crater.

- A football player punts the ball at a 42.0° angle. Without an effect from the wind, the ball would travel 57.0 m horizontally. (a) What is the initial speed of the ball? m/s (b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 1.50 m/s. What distance does the ball travel horizontally? marrow_forwardth During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. Figure 4-22 shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle Oo = 60.0° to the horizontal, from the vent at A in order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 2.60 km and horizontal distance d = 9.40 km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of flight?
