2/67 In a basketball game, the point guard A intends to throw a pass to the shooting guard B, who is break- ing toward the basket at a constant speed of 3.6 m/s. If the shooting guard is to catch the ball at a height of 2.1 m at C while in full stride to execute a layup, determine the speed vo and launch angle 0 with which the point guard should throw the ball. 3.6 m/s 1.5 m B 2.1 m -12 m- 6 m- Answers: o=13.77 m/s, 0= 38.36°

The determined Wile E. Coyote BEEP BEEP is out once more to try to cap- ture the elusive roadrunner. The coyote wears a new pair of power roller skates, which pro- vide a constant horizontal accel- eration of 15.0 m/s³, as shown in Figure P3.59. The coyote starts off at rest 70.0 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the road- Figure P3.59 runner zips by in the direction of the cliff. (a) If the roadrunner moves with constant speed, find the minimum speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. (b) If the cliff is 1.00 x 10² m above the base of a canyon, find where the coyote lands in the canyon. (Assume his skates are still in operation when he is in “flight" and that his horizontal component of acceleration remains constant at 15.0 m/s?.)
One of the fastest recorded pitches in major league baseball, thrown by Tim Lincecum in 2009, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h (Fig. P3.8). If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this veloc- ity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft away? GIA NT Figure P3.8 Tim Lincecum throws a baseball.
