- 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_forwardYou throw a ball off the top of a building at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. You release the ball from a point 25.0 m above the ground. If it takes 4.00 s for the ball to hit the ground, how far did it travel horizontally?arrow_forwardA cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The initial velocity at this angle is 80 m/s, but this velocity may be separated into a vertical velocity component of 40 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 69.3 m/s. How far does the cannonball travel horizontally?arrow_forward
- A soccer ball is kicked at a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 43.0 degrees above the horizontal. The ball is in the air for 3.70 s.What is the difference in height between where the ball was kicked and where it lands?arrow_forwardA 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_forwardA soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a 22.0 m high cliff and lands at a distance of 35.0 m from the base of the cliff. Determine the initial horizontal velocity of the soccer ball. What is the final velocity and direction of the ball?arrow_forward
- A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.47 m/s at an angle of 83.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.90 m above the table?arrow_forwardA 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_forwardA ball is fired at a speed of 8m/s at 20° above the horizontal from the top of a 5m high wall. How far from the base of the wall will the ball hit the ground?arrow_forward
- A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 40° to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 17 m/s.

How far does it travel in the horizontal direction before hitting the ground?arrow_forwardA 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.
