- . You tossed out a ball from a building at a height of 50.0 meter above the ground with an initial velocity of 9.00 m/s and angle of 25° to the horizontal. It strikes the ground after 5.00 seconds. With the positive x-direction chosen to be out of the window, how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground?arrow_forwardA cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s and 25.0º angle below horizontal from a height of 12.0 m. How far can the cannonball go horizontally when it lands on the ground, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. (Hint: Clearly label quantities along x- and y- components and write down all steps.)arrow_forwardA cargo plane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 11.6 km with a speed of 870 km/h when a battle tank falls out ofthe loading ramp. How far horizontally is the tank from where it fell off when it hits the ground assuming that the planecontinues to fly with constant velocity? Ans. _____km??arrow_forward
- A ball is kicked from ground level towards a high, vertical wall. It starts off at an angle of 32.7∘ with a speed of 11.1 m/s. If the wall is 5.2 m away from the place where the ball is kicked, how high above the ground (in meters) will the ball hit the wall?arrow_forwardA hunter spots a duck flying a given distance, h, above the ground (in meters) and shoots at it with his shotgun. The buckshot leaves the shotgun at an angle equal to 57.7 degrees from the horizontal with a velocity of 105 m/s. The duck is flying at a speed of 30 m/s in a horizontal direction toward the hunter. If the hunter shot when the duck was 200 meters away from the hunter and hit the duck, how high was the duck flying?arrow_forward3. A football is kicked at 37.0° to the horizontal at 20.0 m/s from the player's hand at 1.00 m from the ground. How far did the football travel before hitting the ground? 4. A long-jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 20° above the horizontal and at a speed of 11.0 m/s. (a) How long is he in the air? (b) How far docs he jump in the horizontal direction? (c) What is his maximum height?arrow_forward
- A cannonball is aimed 36.9° above the horizontal and is fired with an initial speed of 180 m/s at ground level. How far away from the cannon will the cannonball hit the ground?arrow_forwarduse proper vector notations.arrow_forwardAn athlete in a high jump event is running at 5.3 m/s directly toward the high-jump bar when he jumps into the air to jump over the bar. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (Hint : The athlete is now on a projectile trajectory to reach the high-jump bar) (a)What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need in order to just rise 65 centimeters above the ground? (b)How far (in m) from the bar (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the bar?arrow_forward
- A tennis player hits a ball 2.6 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 23.5m/s at an angle of 5.7 degrees above the horizontal. The horizontal distance to the net is 7m. and the net is 1.1 high. By how much does the ball clear the net?arrow_forwardServing at a speed of 179 km/h, a tennis player hits the ball at a height of 3.0 m and an angle ? below the horizontal. The service line is 11.9 m from the net, which is 0.91 m high. What is the angle ? such that the ball just crosses the net?arrow_forwardQuestions 1 through 3 pertain to the situation described below: An archer wants to launch an arrow from a bow to clear a treetop that is 35.0 m vertically above, and 97.0 m horizontally away from, the launching location. Assume that the launching speed is 57.0 m/s and the launching angle is 0 above the horizontal. (1) How much does the arrow clear the treetop if 0 = 30.0°? (A) 3.6 m; (B) 3.1 m; (C) 2.6 m; (D) 2.1 m; (E) 1.6 m. (2) What is the maximum horizontal range of the arrow if 0 can vary? (A) 212 m; (B) 242 m; (C) 272 m; (D) 302 m; (E) 332 m. (3) What is the range of 0 for the arrow to clear the treetop? (A) 29.9-86.0°; (B) 28.9–81.0°; (C) 27.9–76.0°; (D) 26.9–71.0°; (E) 25.9–66.0°.arrow_forward
