Question
A basketball player who is 2.00 m tall is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in figure. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal at what initial speed must he throw so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? the basket height is 3.05 m.

- An archer fires an arrow at a target that is a horizontal distance d = 55 m away; the bull’s-eye of the target is at same height as the release height of the arrow. 1. At what angle, in degrees above the horizontal, must the arrow be released to hit the bull’s-eye if the arrow's initial speed is 35 m/s?arrow_forwardA mortar shell has an initial velocity v0= 13 m/s, at an angle θ0=60º. At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces. One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically. How far horizontally does the other fragment land from where it was fired.arrow_forwardAn artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 54.5° above the horizontal. To clear an avalanche, it explodes on a mountainside 34.0 s after firing. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to its firing point? x=? y=?arrow_forward
- Do you launch a projectile at an initial speed of 63.5 m/s from the ground. After 8.40 seconds of flight, the projectile lines on the ground. At what angle above the horizontal was the projectile launched?arrow_forwardA minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole. There is a small obstacle in the way, so the ball cannot simply roll to the hole –it must go up in the air. The player is able to shoot with an initial speed v0 = 7 m/s. The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.arrow_forwardA driver leaves a 3 m board on a trajectory that takes her 2.5 m above the board and then into the Water 2.8 m horizontally from the end of the board. At what speed and angle did she leave the board?arrow_forward
- To start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 330 m/s at 46.0° above the horizontal. It explodes on the mountainside 40.0 s after firing. What are the x and y coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to its firing point?arrow_forwardDuring a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 23.6 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.60 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? (b) Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Enter a positive number if the ball clears the net. If the ball does not clear the net, your answer should be a negative number. Use g=9.81 m/s?. Please explain step by step with drawing.. thank you.arrow_forwardA batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo = 91 ft/sec directly toward fielder B at an angle of 38° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.4 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 0.24 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.9 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

- A golfer hits an approach shot with a velocity of 38.2 m/s at 50 degrees above the horizontal. The golf ball lands directly next to the hole, 5.50 m above the ball’s original position, and stops immediately. How far horizontally was the golfer from the hole?arrow_forwardIf you are standing on the free-throw line on a basketball court, the basket is about 4.5 m horizontally from you and it is located around 3m above the floor.
