(a) What launch angle must the dolphin have if it is to catch the ball? (b) At what height does the dolphin catch the ball in this case? (c) What is the minimum initial speed the dolphin must have to catch the ball before it hits the water?

a)
what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top?
b) Find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 7.50 m/s and moving between the same two points.
c) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations?
d) Explain physically why it does or does not agree.
During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the
Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones
at the city to breach its walls. 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?

- Consider a ball tossed over a fence. Construct a problem in which you calculate the ball's needed initial velocity to just clear the fence. Among the things to determine are; the height of the fence, the distance to the fence from the point of release of the ball, and the height at which the ball is released. You should also consider whether it is possible to choose the initial speed for the ball and just calculate the angle at which it is thrown. Also examine the possibility of multiple solutions given the distances and heights you have chosen.arrow_forwardA golfer is attempting to reach the elevated green by hitting his ball under a low-hanging branch in one tree A, but over the top of a second tree B.
