CP Bang! A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed υ . However, a wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the firecracker a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a . As a result, the firecracker reaches the ground directly below the student. Determine the height h in terms of υ . a . and g . Ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion.

A ball is thrown with an initial speed v, at an angle 6, with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball reaches a maximum height R/4. In terms of R and g, find the following.

An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in the figure, but that the ball's speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce.

(a) Assuming the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle & should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 35.0° with no bounce (green path)?

(b) Determine the ratio of the time interval for the one-bounce throw to the flight time for the no-bounce throw.
