A person throws a ball with speed 102 m/s at a 45° angle. How many seconds faster would the ball arrive if the person threw the ball at the same speed and the same distance but made the trip in two identical bumps. Assume that there is no loss of speed at the bounce. Hint: Use R = v2/g * sin(2θ) and t=2*vy(sinθ)/g.
Two particles are initially at the point (0,0) (the origin) of a coordinate system. Particle A moves along
the positive r-axis with a speed of 2 m/s. Particle B moves along the positive y-axis with a speed of 3 m/s.
2.
How fast is the distance between the two particles changing, when Particle A is 6 meters from the origin?
Draw a diagram of the situation and label it. Answer with an exact value.
Two friends are playing billiards at an arcade center. One guy hit the cue ball
to strike at another ball where it is initially at rest. After the collision caused by the
ball that was at rest, the cue ball moves at 2.50 m/s along a line making an angle
e=14.0° with its original direction of motion and the second balI has a speed of 1.50
m/s. Find the answer for Part a,b and c. (Note: Both balls have the same mass.)
Part A: Find the angle 0 between the direction of the motion of the second ball and
the original direction of motion of the cue ball.
Part B: Find the cue ball's original speed?
Part C: Figure out whether kinetic energy is conserved?

- When a chronometer begins with a time of zero seconds, matching soccer balls have a horizontal separation, d=6.28m. The ball on the left is released from the ground with an initial velocity of magnitude v0 directed toward the other soccer ball. The ball on the right has an initial height h1=3.17m and is momentarily at rest. A short time later, the matching soccer balls collide at the collision point, C, at a height h2-1.69m above the ground, as indicated on the diagram. Ignore the finite size of the balls, and additionally ignore any air resistance. (Dimensions are not to scale.) Part (a) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the elapsed time, in seconds, at which the matching soccer balls collide. Part (b) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the initial velocity of the soccer ball on the left.arrow_forwardKara is setting up a tee-shirt cannon for a community event.

She mentioned that as the initial angle of the projectile increases from 0 to 450, the range also increases (claim 1). Maximum range is attained at 450 (claim 2). As the initial angle increases above 450, the range of the projectile decreases (claim 3). She was able to verify the first claim in her experiment. Your task is to prove claim 1, 2 and 3 mathematically.arrow_forwardFor a forensics experiment, a student decides to measure the muzzle velocity of the pellets from his BB gun.
