Chapter 3, Problem 46GP
|| On the first play of a football game, the kicker kicks the ball with a speed of 25 m/s, and the ball travels a distance of 60 m (about 65 yd). (a) At what two possible angles, relative to the horizontal, could the ball have been kicked? (b) What two possible times could the ball have been in the air? The longer time is sometimes known as the hang time.

(a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 31 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.67 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in
m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
273.73 X
You appear to have correctly calculated the distance the rock travels, but you have then used the wrong time to calculate the horizontal speed. m/s
(b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer
player to hear the sound of the splash 2.67 s after kicking the rock?
m/s
An archer shoots an arrow horizontally and his friend drops a marble from the same
height when the arrow is released. In the absence of air resistance, which of the
following happens?
The arrow hits the ground first.
The marble hits the ground first.
O Both hit the ground at the same time.
You cannot tell from the information given.

|A rocket is fired at a speed of 75.0 m/s from ground level, at
an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an
11.0-m-high wall, which is located 27.0 m away. The rocket attains its
launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines
shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the
top of the wall?

- In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA catapult launches a rocket at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 m/s. The rocket engine immediately starts a burn, and for 3.00 s the rocket moves along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. Then its engine fails, and the rocket proceeds to move in free fall. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.arrow_forwardA skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at = 15.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94).
