Question
A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 680 m/s. The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's-eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.023 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's-eye?

- Do you launch a projectile at an initial speed of 63.5 m/s from the ground. After 8.40 seconds of flight, the projectile lines on the ground. At what angle above the horizontal was the projectile launched?arrow_forwardA minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole. There is a small obstacle in the way, so the ball cannot simply roll to the hole –it must go up in the air. The player is able to shoot with an initial speed v0 = 7 m/s. The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.arrow_forwardA projectile with an initial velocity of 59.0 m / s is launched at an angle of 35.0 ° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a hillside 3.80 s later. Neglect air friction. (Suppose the + x axis goes to the right and the + y axis goes up along the page). (a) What is the velocity of the projectile at the highest point of its trajectory? (magnitude m / s and direction ° (counterclockwise from the + x axis) b) What is the straight-line distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardIn a jump serve in volleyball, the server throws the ball into the air and strikes it with his open hand from a position 9 m behind the net. An athletic player may be able to hit it when the bottom of the ball is 3 m above the ground. Without aerodynamic effects, a horizontally hit serve will never work—it will go into the net or go too far and out of bounds. How much time does it take for the ball to fall to the height of the top of the net (which is 2.41 m above the floor)? Also, calculate the minimum launch speed for the ball to make it over the net. Round the final answer to two decimal places. What is the range of the ball struck horizontally at this speed? Round the final answer to one decimal place. Do you think that putting topspin on the serve might improve the serve? The “sky serve” is intended to land on the opponent’s side at a nearly straight-down trajectory. If this serve were a sky serve, launched at the same speed, but at the nearly vertical angle of 85°, would it…arrow_forwardThe initial speed of the ball is v0 = 22.2 m/s, the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 43o, and g = 8.4. How far away does the ball hit the ground?arrow_forward
- Two friends are playing catch, indoors, with a baseball, where the ceiling height is 6.15mm. The first friend releases the ball at a height of 3.15mm with a velocity of 21.8m/sm/s, and the second friend catches it at the same height. Neglect the diameter of the baseball. What is the maximum vertical component of the velocity, in meters per second, such that the baseball does not hit the ceiling?arrow_forwardAsap plzz...arrow_forwardA baseball is hit from ground level with a speed of 50.0 m/s and at an angle of 53.10.Take g=10m/s2. At what two times is the baseball 35 m above the ground?arrow_forward
- If a projectile is launched at 73 degrees above the horizontal at 57.9 m/s, what is the direction of the projectile’s acceleration?arrow_forwardA tennis ball is struck with an initial velocity of 30 m/s, 28 degrees above the horizontal.What is the vertical component of this initial velocity?arrow_forwardYou 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_forward
