To celebrate the start of October, you want to win a pumpkin catapult contest, which requires you to build a catapult and launch a pumpkin from it. You build your catapult so that it releases the pumpkin when the catapult arm is exactly vertical, as shown in the picture.
a. Assume the pumpkin is launched when the catapult arm isexactly vertical from a height of R = 3 m, as shown. For how long is the pumpkin in the air?
b. What is the pumpkin’s speed just before it hits the ground?
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of v0 and an elevation angle of zero degrees. If the projectile were launched with the same initial velocity from the surface of Earth (g=9.80 m/s2) as from the surface of Mars (g=3.72 m/s2), which of the following would be true?
a. Both the time of flight and the range would be larger on Mars.
b. Both the time of flight and the range would be larger on Earth.
c. The time of flight is greater on Earth but the range would be greater on Mars.
d. The time of flight is greater on Mars but the range would be greater on Earth.
e. The time of flight and the range would be the same on both planets.
Hank throws the ball with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle which is 35 degrees up from north. He releases the ball from a height of 1.6 m above the field. There is a wind moving to the west at 4.6 m/s. What is the final speed of the ball when it lands?

Julie starts at the top of the 60° slope with a push-off velocity of 1.7 m/s as shown in the diagram.

After you throw it, you know the following: 1. the horizontal component of the truck's velocity is 2 m/s. 2. the vertical component of the truck's velocity is 26 m/s. 3. The truck is in free fall (no air resistance) while it is in the air. Question! What is the horizontal component of the truck's velocity 12.16 seconds after your throw? Assume that the truck is still in the air at this point in time. Hint: Believe in yourself! It's not as tough as it looks.arrow_forward

From the roof of his house, which is 7 meters above the ground, he kicks a ball horizontally towards his neighbour's house, which is 6 meters away and also has a roof that is 7m above the ground. At the same instance, his neighbour's pet monkey drops off the ledge of his roof to try to catch the ball. Please ignore air resistance, and take g = 9.81m/s² Minimum velocity?
