- A boy stands 10 meters from a school building, tosses a ball toward the building with an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. What height does the ball strike the building with if the initial speed is 25 m/sarrow_forwardA small lead ball, attached to a 1.45-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled at a constant rate of three revolutions per second and is released on the upward part of the circular motion when it is 1.7 m above the ground. The ball travels straight upward. In the absence of air resistance, to what maximum height above the ground does the ball rise?arrow_forwardA group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?arrow_forward
- A baseball pitcher throws a pitch with an initial velocity of 45 m/s (100 mph!), directed horizontally. You will be asked to find how far the ball drops vertically by the time it crosses the plate 18.0 m away. Find the time it takes for the ball to travel the horizontal distance to the plate. 2.5 s 0.40 s 4.6 s 0.22 sarrow_forwardI am stuck on this problem.arrow_forwardStanding at the edge of a 70 meter high cliff, Failee throws a rock with a horizontal velocity of 21 m/s.

- A ball is rolled horizontally off a table with an initial speed of 0.24 m/s. A stopwatch measures the ball's trajectory time from table to the floor to be 0.30 s. How far away from the table does the ball land? (g = 9.8 m/s2 and air resistance is negligible).arrow_forwardA roofer tosses a shingle off a 240.1 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal velocity of 10 m/s. How far from the building does the shingle land? What is the acceleration of the shingle as it leaves the roof at 2m/s^2?arrow_forwardA spacecraft has an initial speed of 3037 m/s at an angle of 27 degrees above the positive x axis. Two engines fire for 5.4 seconds, and produce an acceleration of 9.9 m/s/s at an angle of 18.5 degrees above the positive x axis. What is the final speed of the spacecraft? What angle is it at above the positive x-axis?arrow_forward
