Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 92PP

Referring to Example 4-9 (a) At what launch angle greater than 54.0° does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in front of the green? Assume that the ball has an initial speed of 13.5 m/s, and that the tree is 3.00 m high and is a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the launch point. (b) Where does the ball land in the case described in part (a)? (c) At what launch angle less than 54 0° does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in front of the green? (d) Where does the ball land in the case described in part (c)?

For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible, unless stated otherwise in the question. A ball is launched from ground level at an angle of 60˚ and with a speed of 15 m/s. a)What is the maximum height the ball will reach? b)How far horizontally will the ball travel before returning to ground level?

A ball will be thrown to hit a target standing on the ground at a distance of 100 m from the roof of a 20 m high building. The shooter stands on the roof near the target of the building. a) What should be the initial velocity of the ball thrown horizontally to hit the target? b) If the ball is thrown at an angle of 37 ° with the horizontal, what should be its initial speed to hit the target?

In a game of basketball, a player released the ball with a velocity of 6 m/s at 45° above the horizontal from a height of 2 m from the floor. The center of the basket is 4.21 m from the free throw line and 3.05 m above the floor. (a) Is this a miss or a basket? (type miss or basket for your answer) (b) The player shoots again at 45° from the same point of release. What must be the initial speed of the ball so that it will go through the basket?
