Question
A golfer hits a ball with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0oabove the horizontal. The ball lands on a green that is 5.00 m above the level where the ball was struck. a) How long is the ball in the air? b) How far has the ball traveled in the horizontal direction when it lands? c) What is the speed and direction of motion of the ball just before it lands?

- At serve, a tennis player aims to hit the ball horizontally (Figure 1). What minimum speed is required for the ball to clear the 0.90-mm-high net about 15.0 mm from the server if the ball is "launched" from a height of hhh = 2.30 mm ? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardTop Golf is a famous and well-known place for sports entertainment and family fun. Typically a building has two to three floors full of rooms for people to rent and relax in while they hit golf balls onto a 250-yard field. Suppose a person hits a golf ball from the second floor (h) with an initial velocity of 118 mph at a 15° angle (0). The golf ball is in the air for (t) secs and lands 170 (x) yards from its initial place. The path of the golf ball is depicted in figure 2. Hint: 1 mile 5280 ft, 1 yard = 3 ft = (i) How long does it take for the golf ball to land on the field in seconds? (t) (ii) At what height was the ball struck at in feet? (h) (iii) What is the maximum height the golf ball reaches in feet? (yax) Figure 2.

It strikes a target above the ground 3.00 seconds later. a) How high is the target above the gound? b) How far did the projectile travel before hitting the target? c) What is the horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile right as it hits the target? d) What is the vertical component of the velocity of the projectile right as it hits the target?arrow_forwardA snowball is thrown at a speed of 15 m/s and an angle of 55 degrees. a) What are the horizontal and vertical initial velocities? b) How long is the snowball in the air? c) How far does it go?arrow_forward
- You throw a ball up at some angle above the horizontal so that its velocity is (v0x, v0y). You then run 22.0 m forward on level ground and catch the ball 2.90 s later at the same altitude it was released from. a) How high above the release point did the ball reach? b) What was the horizontal component of the ball’s initial velocity, v0x? c) What was the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity, v0y?arrow_forwardAn Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to a stranded party ofexplorers, .
