Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them.
1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be?
2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
A sprinter running on a circular track has a velocity of constant magnitude 9.20 m/s and a centripetal acceleration of magnitude 3.80 m/s2.What are (a) the track radius and (b) the period of the circular motion?
A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal.
The initial velocity at this angle is 80 m/s, but this velocity may be separated into
a vertical velocity component of 40 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of
69.3 m/s.
How far does the cannonball travel horizontally?
