Kara is setting up a tee-shirt cannon for a community event. The angle of the cannon can be adjusted, but all projectiles leave the cannon at 25 meters per second. If Kara sets the angle of 20 degrees above the cannon to be above horizontal, what will be the range of the projectiles?
In your Christmas Party, one of the
games is Egg Catching. Suppose
You throw the egg at a 45° angle to
your friend standing 30.5 m away.
Your friend's hand aim to catch your
egg at 1.5 m above the ground. At
what initial height, and with what
initial speed, should you release the
egg so that your friend can catch it
without moving his/her hands?
Consider a projectile being launched with an initial speed of 43 m/s at a variety of initial angles. Refer to the figure.
What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ1 = 79.7°?

In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 59° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 14 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?arrow_forwardA stunt car leaves a 15° upward ramp at 35.

- Question: Diego is getting hungry and acting like a typical saber-toothed tiger. He visualizes Sid as a hunk of meat and begins to chase him frantically around the ground. First, Sid darts 50.0 meters at 35.0° NoW and then turns abruptly and races 40.0 m S. If Manny ran from where they were originally standing to where Sid ended up, how far and in what direction would Manny have to run to break up the fight? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it.

They are testing out their new potato launcher that fires projectiles at a consistent speed. Mark first uses the launcher to launch his potato at an angle of θM = 60◦and then Marvin uses it to launch his identical potato at an angle of θm = 30degrees . The launch speed of the potatoes is v0 = 30 m/s. On mars the acceleration due to gravity is about gm = 3.7 m/s2. (A) Calculate the maximum height each potato achieved. (B) Calculate how far away from the launch each potato landed, assuming they land at the same elevation as from which they were launched.arrow_forward
- Our pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?arrow_forwardDuring a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal, then how much time will the ball spend airborne before hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point particles in this problem.arrow_forwardConsider a projectile being launched with an initial speed of 49.5 m/s at a variety of initial angles. Refer to the figure.
