At t = 0 a rock is projected from ground level with a speed of 15.0 m>s and at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. At what two times t is the rock 5.00 m above the ground? At each of these two times, what are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the rock? Let v0x and v0y be in the positive x- and y-directions, respectively.
An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 4.5 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. You will be asked to find the diver's speed just before she enters the water. What are the x- and y components of her velocity just before she enters the water? Note: these may require calculations.vfx = 1.3 m/s; vfy = -4.5 m/svfx = 1.3 m/s; vfy = -9.4 m/svfx = 0 m/s; vfy = 0 m/svfx = 4.5 m/s; vfy = -4.5 m/s
During a fireworks display, a shell is shot into the air at an angle of theta degrees above the horizontal. The fuse is timed to 8.6 seconds for the shell just as it reaches
its highest point above the ground. If the horizontal displacement of the shell is 144 meters when it explodes, what is the angle theta of the initial velocity ? Use g =
9.8 m/s?.
