Chapter 2, Problem 2.17P
A strong softball player smacks the ball at a height of 0.7 m above home plate. The ball leaves the player’s bat at an elevation angle of 35° and travels toward a fence 2 m high and 60 m away in center field. What must the initial speed of the softball be to clear the center field fence? Ignore air resistance.

An airplane is dropping bales of hay to cattle stranded in a blizzard on the Great Plains. The pilot releases the bales at 150 m above the level ground when the plane is flying at 75 m>s in a direction 55° above the horizontal. How far in front of the cattle should the pilot release the hay so that the bales land at the point where the cattle are stranded?
A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of
1000 m/s at an angle of 370 above the
horizontal. If air is neglected, the horizontal
component of the projectile's velocity after 20
s is:
O 16 m/s
O 640 m/s
O 800 m/s
O 600 m/s
a quarterback throws a ball with a velocity of 50ft/s at an angle 40 above the horizontal towards an open receiver who is 30yd away. The pass is released 5.0 ft above the ground. Assume the receiver is stationary and will catch the ball if it reaches him. Will it be a complete pass? If not will it fall short or ''fly'' to the receiver?

They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for timearrow_forward

Since she is unable to attract him, the caretaker aims her rifle with a sedative dart directly at the monkey and fires the dart with a speed of vd = 20.00 m/s (see figure). The cunning monkey is released the instant the dart leaves the barrel of the rifle, trying to fall to the ground and escape The caretaker is at d = 10.0 m from the base of the tree.
