- The circus manager wants to make the stunt more dramatic by firing the stuntman through a hoop 9.0 m high then land in a safety net at the same height as the cannon. The cannon’s angle is 45.0° and the velocity is 21.0 m/s. The manager needs to know where to place the hoop and safety net.a) How far from the cannon should the safety net be placed?b) What is the time required to reach the height of the hoop?c) How far from the cannon should the hoop be placed?d) Sketch the setup of the stunt showing the location of the cannon, hoop and net?arrow_forwarda guy is throwing pumpkins off a five story (15 meters high) building and wants the messiest result possible (highest velocity impact). a) he first throws a pumpkin downward at 45 degrees below the horizon at 15 m/s. how fast does the pumpkin hit the ground? at what angle does it hit? b) he then throws a second pumpkin upward with the same velocity 45 degrees above the horizon. how fast does the second pumpkin hit the ground? c) which strategy (throwing the pumpkin up or down) results in a higher velocity impact? think about why this might bearrow_forwardA friend of yours has a one story house with a pool in the backyard. Someone gets the bright idea to jump from the roof of the house into the deep end of the pool. a) If the roof of the house is 16 ft tall and the horizontal distance between the edge of the house and the pool is 10 ft, what would the jumper's minimum velocity need to be to land in the pool? b) Let's assume your friend can jump with an initial horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s. What is their total velocity when they hit the water? (hint: determine both the x and y velocity components, find the resultant)arrow_forward
