Problem 2:
In baseball the pitcher will throw baseballs horizontally and to account for gravity, the
pitcher will stand upon a raised mound. Take the pitcher's release point to be 1.2m above
the ground and they will hit a spot 0.7m above the ground at a distance 20m away.
a)
Draw ST vs t, sy VS t, Uz VS t,, Vy vs t, a vs t,, and ay vs t, graphs of
the baseball's motion
b)

c)
If the pitcher was playing on Mars (g = 3.7m/s, negligible air resistance)
how fast would they have to pitch?
The hole on a level, elevated golf green is a horizontal distance of 120 m from the tee and at an elevation of 12.2 m above the tee. A golfer hits a ball at an angle of 9.7° above the horizontal and makes a hole-in-one! What was the initial speed of the ball?
An object thrown from a height of 2 m above the ground follows a parabolic path until the object falls to the ground. If the object reaches a maximum height of 7 m after travelling horizontal distance of 4 m, determine the horizontal distance between the object's final position and final position.

- Problem 5: During a baseball game, a baseball is struck at ground level by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial speed vo = 36 m/s at an angle 0 = 24° above horizontal. Let the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system be the ball's position the instant it leaves the bat. Air resistance may be ignored throughout this problem. Part (a) Express the magnitude of the ball's initial horizontal velocity vox in terms of vo and 9. Part (b)_Express the magnitude of the ball's initial vertical velocity voy in terms of vo and 9. Part (c) Find the ball's maximum vertical height hmax in meters above the ground.

The archerfish can shoot its water jet at a speed of vo. The archerfish wants to knock the bug sideways off of the branch, so it decides to shoot so that its water jet is moving horizontally at the moment when it strikes the bug.

- A quarterback claims that he can throw the football a horizontal distance of 175 m. Furthermore, he claims that he can do this by launching the ball at the relatively low angle of 29.5 ° above the horizontal. To evaluate this claim, determine the speed with which this quarterback must throw the ball. Assume that the ball is launched and caught at the same vertical level and that air resistance can be ignored. For comparison a baseball pitcher who can accurately throw a fastball at 45 m/s (100 mph) would be considered exceptional.arrow_forwardA marksman fires a practice round from A toward a target B.
