Chapter 3, Problem 50P
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 Figure P3.50, but that the ball’s speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce. (a) Assume the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed and ignore air resistance. At what angle θ 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 45.0° 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.

A mortar shell has an initial velocity v0= 13 m/s, at an angle θ0=60º. At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces. One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically. How far horizontally does the other fragment land from where it was fired.
A baseball player hits a ball 1.1m above the plate at an angle of 42 degrees at a speed of 35 m/s. In order to hit a home run, the ball has to clear a 2.4 m tall wall, 120 m away from the plate.
a) sketch the situation, including a coordinate system and the ball's trajectory.
b)how many seconds is the ball in the air, which it reaches the wall?
c) does the ball go over the wall for a home run? (find its vertical position at the appropriate time)
d) what is the ball's speed and direction, as it reaches the wall?

The ball on the left is released from the ground with an initial velocity of magnitude v0 directed toward the other soccer ball. The ball on the right has an initial height h1=3.17m and is momentarily at rest. A short time later, the matching soccer balls collide at the collision point, C, at a height h2-1.69m above the ground, as indicated on the diagram. Ignore the finite size of the balls, and additionally ignore any air resistance. (Dimensions are not to scale.) Part (a) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the elapsed time, in seconds, at which the matching soccer balls collide. Part (b) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the initial velocity of the soccer ball on the left.arrow_forward
