A shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0° above the horizontal. The shot hits the ground 2.08 s later. Ignore air resistance. (a) What are the components of the shot’s acceleration while in flight? (b) What are the components of the shot’s velocity at the beginning and at the end of its trajectory? (c) How far did she throw the shot horizontally? (d) Why does the expression for R in Example 3.8 not give the correct answer for part (c)? (e) How high was the shot above the ground when she released it? (f) Draw x-t, y-t, υx-t, and υy-t graphs for the motion.

- A baseball is hit at a height h = 1.00 m and caught at the same height. It travels along side a wall moving up past the top of the wall 1.00 s after it is hit and then down past the top of the wall 4.00 s later at distance D = 62 m further along the wall. Use g = 9.8 m/s/s. What is the angle of the initial velocity? Enter units as 'degrees'arrow_forwardA ball is launched from the ground with an initial velocity v 18.1 m/s at an angle of 39.5 above the horizontal. It hits a wall located a horizontal distance of 22.0 m from the launch point. (b) What is the y component of the initial velocity? Provide your answer in m/s. Use 3 significant figures. Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forwardA basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) a, What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.650 meters above the floor??m/s b, How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket??marrow_forward
- A skateboarder decides to try to jump from the top of a set of stairs and land at the bottom. She leaves the top of the stairs with a horizontal velocity of 15.0 m/s. If the top of the stairs is 2.0 m high, what will her horizontal displacement be?arrow_forwardDuring 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?.arrow_forwardA shot putter releases the shot some distance above the levelground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 above the horizontal. Theshot hits the ground 2.08 s later. Ignore air resistance. What are the components of the shot’s velocity at the beginning and at the end of its trajectory?arrow_forward
- A baseball pitcher throws a pitch with an initial velocity of 45 m/s (100 mph!), directed horizontally. You will be asked to find how far the ball drops vertically by the time it crosses the plate 18.0 m away. Find the time it takes for the ball to travel the horizontal distance to the plate. 2.5 s 0.40 s 4.6 s 0.22 sarrow_forwardWiley Coyote has missed the elusive roadrunner once again. This time, he leaves the edge of the cliff at 50.0m/s horizontal velocity. If the canyon is 100 m deep, how far from the edge of the cliff does the coyote land?arrow_forwardA cannonball is fired from the roof of a house, which is 3.5 m above ground level. The ball exits the cannon with a speed of 170 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. Assume the ball travels over flat ground and there is no air resistance. (a) What is the total time that the cannonball is in the air, in seconds? (b) What horizontal distance does the cannonball travel before landing, in meters? (c) What maximum height above the ground does the cannonball reach, in meters? (d) What is the acceleration of the cannonball throughout the motion, in meters per second squared?arrow_forward
- A ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 10 m/s at a 50 degree angle with the horizontal. a) Calculate the magnitude of the ball’s velocity just before it hits the ground. b) Suppose a house is in the path of the ball and instead of landing on the ground, it lands on the roof (12m high). How long after the kick will the ball collide with the roof? I’ve found that: Horizontal range= 10.05 m Total flight time of ball= 1.56 s Maximum height= 3 marrow_forwardA football is kicked with an initial velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 25°. If it hits the ground 1.5s later, how many meters does it travel? Answer: Question 4 2 pt A high jumper leaves the ground with an initial velocity of 12.1 m/s rightward at an angle of 16°. What is the high jumper's initial horizontal velocity. in m/s?arrow_forwardA softball is hit with an initial velocity of 28.5 m/s at an angle of 60.3° above the horizontal and impacts the top of the outfield fence 4.91 s later. Assuming the initial height of the softball was 0.500 m above (level) ground, what are the ball's horizontal and vertical displacements? (Use 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)arrow_forward
