Chapter 4, Problem 49CP
A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at θ = 15.0° above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94). The slope where she will land is inclined downward at ϕ = 50.0°, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included.

A projectile is launched from the top of the cliff of height h with initial velocity v0 and launch angle ? with respect to the horizontal. It later hits the ground. Derive an expression for the magnitude and direction angle of the velocity as the object hits the ground in terms of some or all of the variables given in the problem h, v0 , ?, and g.

- A projectile is fired from the edge of a cliff, with an initial speed of 185 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The projectile rises and then falls into the sea next to the cliff. The height of the cliff measured from the sea level is h. The time of flight of the projectile until it hits the water is 40.0 s. Ignore air resistance. What is the height h of the cliff? What is the maximum height the projectile has reached (measured from the seal level)? What is the magnitude of the ball's velocity just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardanswer with solution working out please!arrow_forwardA disappointed Romeo throws a pebble, with a speed of 16.3 m/s, horizontally from a balcony. It falls 4.14 s before hitting the ground below. Neglect air resistance. a) How high is the balcony from the ground below,b) how far does the pebble travel before striking the ground, and c) at what speed and angle does the pebble hit the ground?arrow_forward
- A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.8m/s, directed at an angle of 59degrees above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.0m above the ground. Let the x-axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches, and when the skateboarder reaches the highest point how far is the point horizontally from the end of the ramp?arrow_forwardAlice tosses a snowball from the window of her apartment. She tosses the snowball with a velocity of 4.7 m/s at an angle of 22° above the horizontal. She finds it takes 1.6 s to hit the sidewalk below. Ignore air resistance.(a) How far up from the ground is Alice’s window?

The ball lands 30 m from the building at an angle of 600 with respect to the horizontal ground after 2.3 s. Find the height of the building. Find the initial velocity at which the ball is thrown and its angle of projection. What is the maximum height reached by the ball?arrow_forward
- You fire a ball with an initial speed v0 at an angle ϕ above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal (Figure 1). (a) Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. (b) What angle ϕ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance. What is the initial x -component of the ball's initial velocity? Express your answer in terms of the variables v0 , θ, ϕ. What is the initial y -component of the ball's initial velocity? Express your answer in terms of the variables v0 , θ, ϕ. You'll need to write an equation that relates x and y for points along the incline. What is this equation? Express your answer in terms of the variables x , θ, and appropriate constants, if needed.arrow_forwardA student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 25 m/s at an angle θ = 17 ° below horizontal. The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground? Recall that the ball will have a final velocity along the y-axis and the x-axis and these components need to be added together with the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the resultant velocity.arrow_forwardA fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit) Blank 1arrow_forward
