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)?

- If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.arrow_forwardWhen throwing a ball, your hand releases it at a height of 1.5 m above the ground with velocity 6.8 m/s in direction 57° above the horizontal. (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_forwardA firework shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal. The fuse will ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. (a) How much time passes between the launch of the shell and the explosion? (b) Calculate the height at which the shell explodes. (c) What is the horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes? (d) What is the total displacement from the point of launch to the highest point?arrow_forward
- A tennis player serves a ball horizontally at a height h = 3.4 m a distance d = 15.3 m from the net. What maximum speed can the ball be served so as to land within a distance w = 6.3 m of the and be a good serve?arrow_forward(a) At what launch angle greater than54.0° does the golf ball just barely miss the top of the tree in frontof 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 of14.0 m from the launch point.

(d) Where does the ball land in the case described in part (c)?arrow_forward1) A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of θ = 51.5°,giving the ball an initial speed of v0 = 38.3 m/s The ball lands on the elevated green, yf = 5.9 mabove the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. (a) How much time passed while the ball was in the air? (b) How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing?m (c) What was the peak height reached by the ball?m 2)A ball starts from rest at the left end of the track shown in the figure below. The ball flies off the right end of the track and follows the parabolic trajectory shown. Suppose the right end of the track is 1.2 mabove the floor and makes an angle of 35.0°with the horizontal. Also suppose the ball leaves the track with a speed of 3.8 m/s.Determine where the ball hits the floor.m=arrow_forward
- The pitcher in a softball game throws a ball with an initial velocity v0 of 72 km/h at an angle a with the horizontal. If the height of the ball at point B is 0.68 m, determine (a) the angle a, (b) the angle 0 that the velocity of the ball at point B forms with the horizontal.arrow_forwardA volleyball player serves the ball with an initial velocity v0 of magnitude 13.40 m/s at an angle of 20° with the horizontal at initial height of 2.1m. Determine (A.) if the ball will clear the top of the net where distance of the net from the server is 9m and the height of the net is 2.43m, (B.) how far from the net the ball will land.arrow_forwardA lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.63 m/s from the edge of a platform that is 10.0 m above the surface of the water. (a) At what horizontal distance from the edge of the platform is the diver 0.834 s after pushing off? (b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then?

- A golfer hits a ball with an initial velocity of 41.7m/s and is launched at an angle of 36° above the ground. The ball reaches a maximum vertical height at point P above the upper fairway. Point P is 19.6m above the upper fairway as shown. The ball hits the ground at point Q. Determine a) The velocity of the golf ball after 4.32s b) The range of the golf ball at point Q c) Assume after hitting the ground at point Q, the golf ball begins rolling at 20.0m/s [along the ground] Will it reach hole 200.0 m away from the initial launch spot if it is slowing down at a rate of 3.50m/s²?

A 5.0 m high fence is located at the horizontal distance of 137 m from the point where the ball is struck. Assuming the ball leaves the bat 1.0 m above ground level, by how much does the ball clear the fence?arrow_forwardA batter hits a pitched ball when the center of the ball is 1.37 m above the ground.The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 45° with the ground. With that launch, the ball should have a horizontal range (returning to the launch level) of 109 m. (a) Does the ball clear a 8.31-m-high fence that is 99.0 m horizontally from the launch point?
