    You fire a ball with an initial speed V0 at an angle (ϕ) above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle (θ) above the horizontal (Figure below). a. Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b. What angle ϕ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance. c. Since there's no air resistance, this is a problem in projectile motion. The goal is to find the point where the ball's parabolic trajectory intersects the incline. It is best to choose the x-axis to be horizontal and direct to the right, the y-axis to be vertical and direct to the up, and the origin to be at the point where the ball is fired. In the projectile equations, the launch angle α0 is measured from the horizontal. What is this angle in terms of (θ) and (ϕ)?
    A body moves on a coordinate line such that it has a position s= f(t) = - 41 + 3 on the interval 0sts3, with s in meters and t in seconds. a. Find the body's speed and acceleration at the endpoints of the interval. b When, if ever, during the interval does the body change direction? The body's speeds at the left and right endpoints of the interval are (Type integers or simplified fractions.) m/s and m/s, respectively. The body's accelerations at the left and right endpoints of the interval arem/s and m/s, respectively. (Type integers or simplified fractions.) When, if ever, during the interval does the body change direction? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice. O A. The body changes direction at t= (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) O B. The body does not change direction during the interval. S.
    A ball is thrown up and it takes 7.00 seconds to reach maximum height. Show the equation that you. a) How fast was it going when I threw it?     b) How high up did it go?         d) What was the acceleration of the ball going up? Give both magnitude and direction (up or down). Explain.         e) What was the acceleration of the ball going down? Give both magnitude and direction (up or down). Explain.         f) When was the ball speeding up and when was it slowing down? Explain.
