Chapter 3, Problem 47PE
A football player punts the ball at a 45.0° angle. Without an effect from the wind, the ball would travel 60.0 m horizontally. (a) What is the initial speed of the ball? (b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 1.50 m/s. What distance does the ball travel horizontally?

A football player punts the ball at a 45 angle. Without an effect from the wind, the ball would travel 60.0 m horizontally. (a) What is the initial speed of the ball? (b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 1.50 m/s. What distance does the ball travel horizontally?
The pitcher in a softball game throws a ball with an initial velocity v0 of 72 km/h at an angle a with the horizontal. If the height of the ball at point B is 0.68 m, determine (a) the angle a, (b) the angle 0 that the velocity of the ball at point B forms with the horizontal.
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?
