- A ball is thrown with an initial speed i at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R. and the ball reaches a maximum height R/6. In terms of R and g, find (a) the time interval during which the ball is in motion, (b) the balls speed at the peak of its path, (c) the initial vertical component of its velocity, (d) its initial speed, and (e) the angle i, (f) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but at the angle appropriate for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height. (g) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed but at the angle for greatest possible range. Find this maximum horizontal range.arrow_forwardA golfer tees off from a location precisely at i = 35.0 north latitude. He hits the ball due south, with range 285 m. The balls initial velocity is at 48.0 above the horizontal. Suppose air resistance is negligible for the golf ball. (a) For how long is the ball in flight? The cup is due south of the golfers location, and the golfer would have a hole-in-one if the Earth were not rotating. The Earths rotation makes the tee move in a circle of radius RE cos i = (6.37 106 m) cos 35.0 as shown in Figure P6.47. The tee completes one revolution each day. (b) Find the eastward speed of the tee relative to the stars. The hole is also moving cast, but it is 285 m farther south and thus at a slightly lower latitude f. Because the hole moves in a slightly larger circle, its speed must he greater than that of the tee. (c) By how much does the holes speed exceed that of the tee? During the time interval the ball is in flight, it moves upward and downward as well as southward with the projectile motion you studied in Chapter 4, but it also moves eastward with the speed you found in part (b). The hole moves to the east at a faster speed, however, pulling ahead of the ball with the relative speed you found in part (c). (d) How far to the west of the hole does the ball land? Figure P6.47arrow_forwardA truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P3.74). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon rolls over the edge with an initial speed i = 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola with its vertex at the edge of the road, and with the equation y2 = (16.0 m) x, where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank? Figure P3.74 The blue dashed curve shows the parabolic shape of the bank.arrow_forward
- The free throw line in basketball is 4.57 m (15 ft) from the basket, which is 3.05 m (10 ft) above the floor. A player standing on the free throw line throws the ball with an initial speed of 7.15 m/s, releasing it at a height of 2.44 m (8 ft) above the floor. At what angle above the horizontal must the ball be thrown to exactly hit the basket? Note that most players will use a large initial angle rather than a flat shot because it allows for a larger margin of error. Explicitly show how you follow the steps involved in solving projectile motion problems.arrow_forwardReview. You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a fixed height of 7.60 103 m. At time t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0=7.60103m. At t = 30.0 s, the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30=(8.04103i+7.60103j)m as suggested in Figure P3.31. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplanes position vector at t = 45.0 s. Figure P3.31arrow_forwardA catapult launches a rocket at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 m/s. The rocket engine immediately starts a burn, and for 3.00 s the rocket moves along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. Then its engine fails, and the rocket proceeds to move in free fall. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.arrow_forward
- A farm truck travels due east with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s along a horizontal road. A boy riding in the back of the truck tosses a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.40) and catches it at the same location in the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. Ignore any effects of air resistance. (a) At what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can, relative to the moving truck? (b) What is the cans initial speed relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the cans trajectory as seen by the boy? (d) What is the shape of the cans trajectory as seen by a stationary observer on the ground? (e) What is the initial velocity of the can, relative to the stationary observer? Figure P3.40arrow_forwardA skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at = 15.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94). The slope where she will land is inclined downward at = 50.0, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included. Figure P4.49arrow_forwardA World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain with a speed of 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 3.00 km. The bombardier releases one bomb. (a) How far does the bomb travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance. (b) The pilot maintains the planes original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane when the bomb hits the ground? (c) The bomb hits the target seen in the telescopic bombsight at the moment of the bombs release. At what angle from the vertical was the bombsight set?arrow_forward
- Peter throws a baseball through a houses window. He stands 3.4 m from the window. The ball starts in his hand 1.1m above the ground and goes through the window at a point 2.4 m off the ground. a. Sketch the problem, including an xy coordinate system with the origin on the ground directly below the initial position of the ball, the y axis pointing upward, and the x axis pointing toward the house. b. What are the initial and final coordinates of the ball?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impassible? A normally proportioned adult walks briskly along a straight line in the +x direction, standing straight up and holding his right arm vertical and next to his body so that the arm does not swing. His right hand holds a ball at his side a distance h above the floor. When the ball passes above a point marked as x = 0 on the horizontal floor, he opens his fingers to release the ball from rest relative to his hand. The ball strikes the ground for the first time at position x = 7.00h.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown with an initial speed vi at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball reaches a maximum height R/6. In terms of R and g, find (a) the time interval during which the ball is in motion, (b) the balls speed at the peak of its path, (c) the initial vertical component of its velocity, (d) its initial speed, and (e) the angle i. (f) Suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but at the angle appropriate for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height.
