Question
A cannon fires a projectile with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 54.0° above the horizontal. The projectile impacts a hillside 39.0 s after firing. Let the +x-direction be directly ahead of the cannon and the +y-direction be upward. Find the x- and y-coordinates of the projectile's impact point, relative to its firing point (in m).

- A diver springs upward from a dive platform that is 10.0 meters above the water. At the instant that she contacts the water her speed is 55.0 km/hr and her body makes an angle of 85.0° below the horizontal (i.e., 85.0° below the surface of the water). Determine her initial velocity vector, both magnitude and direction. Include a complete diagram of the situation.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.

- A kicker on the football field kicked the ball with a velocity of 14.8 m/s at an angle of 33° to the horizontal. How far from the kicker did the ball land?arrow_forwardTo 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_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.

- You launch a projectile at an initial speed of 38.8 m/s from the ground. After 5.10 seconds of flight, the projectile lands on the ground. At what angle above the horizontal was the projectile launched?arrow_forwardA projectile is launched with an initial velocity 38 m/s and an angle from the horizontal of 45°. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². Assume the projectile is launched from the surface of the Earth. i.e., at y (0) = 0. then the altitude of the projectile as a function of time is: y(t) = gt² + vo sin(0)t Where vo is the initial velocity. What is the maximum altitude achieved by the projectile?arrow_forwardA daredevil is shot out of a cannon at 45.0° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 24.0 m/s. A net is positioned a horizontal distance of 49.5 m from the cannon. At what height above the cannon should the net be placed in order to catch the daredevil?arrow_forward
