Question
A ball is thrown from the top of a tower at an angle of 40o to the horizontal with an initial speed of 6.60 m/s. During its flight, the only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity. It takes 3.55 s until the ball hits the ground. How tall is the tower?

- In the figure, a body with a mass of 2 kg moves under the influence of two constant forces F1 = 5N and F2 = 4N in the xy plane. At time t = 0, the object is at point 0 and its speed is V = 2i + j (m / s). What is the acceleration of the particle and its position after 2 seconds in terms of the unit vector?arrow_forwardA ball of mass 0.4 kg, initially at rest, iskicked directly toward a fence from a point20 m away.The velocity of the ball as it leaves thekicker’s foot is 17 m/s at angle of 38 ◦abovethe horizontal.

If a 12.00kg dog starts from rest and slides down the water slide and has a velocity of 2.00 in the horizontal direction at point A, determine the height h₁ of the slide. m S m 2. If the bottom of the slide (point A) is 5.00m above the water level, how far horizontally does the dog travel between point A and when it reaches the water at point B? m оо B 3. How would increasing the mass of the dog impact your calculations above? It would result in the height of the slide being greater It would result in the height of the slide being less Equal Less than It would result in the dog's horizontal distance being greater It would result in the dog's horizontal distance being less It wouldn't impact any of the calculations 4. If the slide had friction, would the dog's velocity at point A be greater than, less than, or equal to the velocity without friction? Greater thanarrow_forward
- A boy is playing flying fox over a swimming pool as illustrated in the figure. A cable mounted on the top of a tall tower runs down to the ground with an angle = 26° with respect to the horizontal. The boy at the top of the tower grabs a pulley on the cable and slides down from rest. His initial height was ho 15 m above the water. When he reaches hi above the water, he releases his hands from the pulley and falls into the water. The boy is subject to the regular force of gravity (g-9.80665 m/s2). Ignore friction and air resistance. <=10m (a) Determine the speed of the boy at the moment he releases his hands from the pulley. Answer: 9.90 m/s (b) Determine the speed of the boy at the moment he splashes into the water. Answer: 17 (c) At what angle with respect to the horizontal does the boy enter the water?

Of the height of the ball when it was struck by the bat is 35 cm how high off the ground is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?arrow_forwardStanding on the roof of a 95-m tall building, a girl holds her hand past the edge and throws a ball straight up at 8 m/s. The ball rises, then falls and strikes the ground. Considering "up" to be the positive direction, find the ball's velocity v when it is 40 m above the ground. Remember to include a "-" sign if the velocity is negative. V = m/sarrow_forward
- At t = 0.00 s a ball is started rolling up an inclined plane with an initial velocity of 6.00 m/s, 15.0°. At t = 2.00 s the ball reverses its direction and begins to roll back down. (a) How far up the slope does the ball travel? (b) Find the ball's acceleration. (c) Find the speed of the ball at t = 3.00 s. (d) Find the distance traveled by the ball during these 3.00 seconds. (e) Find the ball's position at t = 3.00 s.arrow_forwardA golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 2.60 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 19.9 m/s at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.arrow_forwardA cat leaps to try to catch a bird. If the cat's jump was at an angle 59.73 degree above the horizontal and its initial velocity was 26.46 m/s. At what time (in seconds) does it reach the highest point of the jump? You should neglect air resistance and use g = 9.8 m/s2.arrow_forward

Her dad decides it would be a good idea to start her on a small hill. The hill is inclined at 3.40° to the horizontal. The child starts partway down the hill, 4.00 m away from her dad, who stays at the top. She starts to wobble, so her dad sprints toward her from rest with an acceleration of 3.80 m/s2. How far has the child gone before her parent catches her?arrow_forward
