- A puma (aka cougar or mountain lion) is one of the best jumpers among all animals. It can jump to a height of 12.0 feet high when it leaves the ground at an initial angle of 45°. What is the initial speed (in m/s) of the puma as it leaves the ground?arrow_forwardA rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0m/s from ground level, at an angle of 66.0 degrees above the horizontal. The rocket is fired towards an 28.8m high wall, which is located 25.0m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a neglibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall (in meters)?arrow_forwardA rock is launched over level ground with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal.

- A snowball rolls off a barn roof that slopes downward at an angle of 40°. The edge of the roof is 14.0 m above the ground, and the snowball has a speed of 7.00 m/s as it rolls off the roof. Ignore air resistance, how far from the edge of the barn does the snowball strike the ground if it doesn't strike anything else while falling? If a man 1.9 m tall is standing 4.0m from the edge of the barn, will he be hit by the snowball?arrow_forwardA rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0m/s from ground level, at an angle of 66.0degrees above the horizontal.

- A boy throws a rock horizontally with a velocity of 8.0 m/s from a bridge. It falls 19.0 m to the water below. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it hits the water?arrow_forwardA person stands on a diving board and tosses a stone into a swimming pool. The stone is thrown from a height of 2.9 m above the water surface with a velocity of 2.8 m/s at an angle of 38° above the horizontal. As the stone strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down to exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water. After the stone enters the water, it moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when. it struck the water. If the pool is 4 m deep, how much time elapses between when the stone is thrown and when it strikes the bottom of the pool? ttotal = Sarrow_forwardIn 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed, in m/s, of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.) v0 =arrow_forward
