- A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of vo 19.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 37.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? Xo Yo m m (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? Vox Voy m/s m/s (c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.) ya (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) with what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? m/s below the horizontalarrow_forwardIn a friendly game of handball, you hit the ball at ground level and send it towards the wall with a speed of 18 m/s at an angle of 40o above the horizontal. (a) If the wall is 3.8 m away how high is the ball when it hits the wall? (b) What are the x and y velocity components just before it strikes the wall? (c) What is the magnitude and direction at this time?arrow_forwardAt serve, a tennis player aims to hit the ball horizontally (Figure 1). What minimum speed is required for the ball to clear the 0.90-mm-high net about 15.0 mm from the server if the ball is "launched" from a height of hhh = 2.30 mm ? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- During a fireworks display, a firework is shot into the air with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s at an angle of 55.0º above the horizontal. The firework is timed to ignite as it reaches its highest point above the ground. (a) Calculate the height at which the firework explodes. (b) How much time passed between the launch of the shell and the explosion? (c) What is the velocity of the firework after 1s it shot into the air?arrow_forwardAlpQLSedOPxDLVWCE4srhjam4NjXYApU7IkAnM1LjGKTm-yzjRKJohg/formResponse A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of 30° with the horizontal, releases a projectile at an altitude of 730 m.

You plan to drop a tennis ball from a 20 story building, and simultaneously shoot a tennis ball upwards from the ground directly under the dropped ball with a tennis ball machine at 200km/hr. The upper ball is dropped from 65m above the machine opening. At what time in s after the drop/shot will the balls collide?arrow_forward
- A projectile is fired from point A at angle of 90degrees with respect to the inclined plane. The slope of the plane is 5V:12H. The projectile lands at Point B 70 meters measured along the inclined plane. Determine the Horizontal distance traveled by the projectile. Determine the time traveled to hit B sec and the maximum height reached by the projectile measured from B. What is the initial velocity of the projectile in m/s?arrow_forwardA quarterback is set up to throw the football to a receiver who is running with a constant velocity vecter vr directly away from the quarterback and is now a distance D away from the quarterback. The quarterback figures that the ball must be thrown at an angle θ to the horizontal and he estimates that the receiver must catch the ball a time interval tc after it is thrown to avoid having opposition players prevent the receiver from making the catch. In the following, you may assume that the ball is thrown and caught at the same height above the level playing field. Assume that the y coordinate of the ball at the instant it is thrown or caught is y=0 and that the horizontal position of the quarterback is x=0. (Figure 1) Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and use the pictured inertial coordinate system when solving the problem. a) Find v0y, the vertical component of the velocity of the ball when the quarterback releases it. Express v0y in terms of tc and g. b)…arrow_forwardA rugby player passes the ball 7 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. a) At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used?arrow_forward
- Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?arrow_forwardcrawls An on ant the floor along the curved path shown in Figure P3.4.
