Chapter 3.3, Problem 3.3TYU
In Example 3.10, suppose the tranquilizer dart has a relatively low muzzle velocity so that the dart reaches a maximum height at a point P before striking the monkey, as shown in the figure. When the dart is at point P, will the monkey be (i) at point A (higher than P), (ii) at point B (at the same height as P), or (iii) at point C (lower than P)? Ignore air resistance.

ball. If there is no air resistance, the maximum height of Joe's ball
will be
O eight times that of Bill's ball.
O two times that of Bill's ball.
O equal to that of Bill's ball.
None of the given choices
O four times that of Bill's ball.
On level land, a youngster aspires to toss a ball over a flat-roofed schoolhouse measuring 12 meters wide and 7.5 meters high. Determine how far away from the wall he should stand to make the ball clear the roof with the least amount of effort, that is, with the lowest starting velocity, assuming the ball will leave his hand at a height of 1.5 m above the ground.
You are designing an artillery system with the aim of hitting a target 20 km away with two shells at the same time.
The first shot will be fired at a 50-degree angle. What is the required initial velocity needed to hit the target? Assume air resistance is negligible.

- Imagine an archer preparing to fire an arrow. The archer aims the arrow directly ahead, that is to say, parallel with the ground. Bows are drawn to the corner of the mouth when fired. Let's say, for this particular archer, that puts the arrow 1.8 m (about 5.5 feet) above the ground. Assume that we have measured the initial speed of arrows fired by this archer with this bow and it is 100 m/s. (Ignore wind resistance) a) At what point during the arrow's flight will it be moving the fastest? (Be careful here, think about it. You don't need to do any calculations to figure this out.) b) How long will it take for the arrow to hit the ground?c) How far will the arrow travel during this time period?arrow_forwardA physics student, standing 7 m from a tree, throws a roll of toilet paper up into the limbs of the tree at an angle of 65° above the horizontal.

The dart flies for 0.1 s and then hits below the center, at Y. How much lower, in m, does it hit? B) A drone at too great a height drops a box.

- An item with beginning speed v0 is projected from the edge of the roof of a structure of height H. The object's initial velocity produces an angle a0 with the horizontal. Don't think about air resistance. What is the speed of the item shortly before it hits the ground if a0 = -90 and the object is thrown straight down?arrow_forwardA boy wishes to throw a ball over a flat roofed school house that stands 12 m wide and 7.5 m high on level ground. Assuming that the ball will leave his hand at a height of 5 m above the ground,determine how far from the wall he should take his hand in order to make the ball clear the roof with least effort, that is, with minimum velocity.arrow_forwardMessi is keeping his free-kick skills sharp this quarantine by playing football with his neighbour's monkey.From the roof of his house, which is 7 meters above the ground, he kicks a ball horizontally towards his neighbour'shouse, which is 6 meters away and also has a roof that is 7m above the ground. At the same instance, his neighbour'spet monkey drops off the ledge of his roof to try to catch the ball. Please ignore air resistance, and take g=9.81m/s2 If Messi kicks the ball with the minimum required speed; at what time (in seconds) after the kick is the monkey able to catch the ball?The minimum speed (in m/s) is 5.023.arrow_forward

(a) How high above the ground (not your hand) does the ball go?(b) At the highest point, how far is the ball horizontally from the point of release?arrow_forwardvo Jewell threw a ball into the air in the direction of a wall that was a distance d = 8.4 meters in front of her. The ball left her hands a distance of h 1.7 meters above the ground. The ball left her hands with an initial speed of 19 meters per second, aimed at a direction of theta = 79 degrees above horizontal. To solve this problem, let g = 9.8 meters per second squared. Ignore air resistance %3D and other sources of friction. How high above the ground (measured in meters) did the ball hit the wall?arrow_forward
- A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed vo. At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally from the same balcony with an initial speed vo/2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the following statements must be true? [There may be more than one correct answer.] Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impact. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component While each ball is in the air, the red ball has the greater magnitude of acceleration. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed. | The balls reach the ground at the same instant.arrow_forwardA plane flying at an altitude of 4000 m at a speed of 200 m/s.

The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2 km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range. a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range? b) How long was the ball in the air? c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?arrow_forward
