Question
- A police reported a car that went straight at the edge of a cliff from height of 54 m and a landed 130 m from the base of the cliff. How fast is the car before it went straight off the cliff?
- How tall is the building if a ball is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 22.2 m/s from the roof of the building and lands 36 m from the base of the building?
- How far from the base of the rock will a can land if a boy kicked it horizontally from a height of 6.5 m of the rock with a velocity of 4.0 m/s?

- A man drives a motorcycle off a horizontal roof to a neighboring rooftop to another building. The second roof is 6 meters lower and 10 meters away. Ignoring air resistance, how long is the motorcycle in the air? What is the minimum initial speed needed to reach the other building? What direction is the man's velocity point relative to the horizontal roof just before he lands? Assume initial speed found in earlier answer.arrow_forwardA ball is kicked with an initial speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees from the top of a 500m cliff. How fast is the ball moving just before it hits the ground? Answer using kinematics.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 9.0 m tall and lands 8.5 m from the base. What was the ball’s initial speed?arrow_forward
- During a kick ball game, a ball is kicked with a velocity of 25m/s at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. How long us the ball in the air and how far does the ball travel?arrow_forwardTwo students are on a balcony 19.5 m above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at 16.6 m/s; at the same instant the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. The second ball just misses the balcony on the way down. (a) What is the difference in their time in air? (b) What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground? (c) How far apart are the balls 0.900 s after they are thrown?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown off a 30m cliff with horizontal velocity of 10m/s. How far from the base of the cliff does the ball land?arrow_forward
- Napoleon’s cannon, having a muzzle velocity of 154 m/s, is fired at a 0 degree angle off a cliff. The ball lands 588 m away from the cannon. How far above ground level is the cannon?arrow_forwardIn lab you roll a marble off the edge of your table, and it goes flying through the air until it hits the floor 2.0 m out on the floor from below the launch point. (That's distance along the floor from just below where the marble became airborne to the point on the floor where it landed.) The table is level, so the marble is moving horizontally when it first becomes airborne. If the marble exited the table at 4.0 m/s … i) How long was the marble airborne?arrow_forwardA stunt man drives a car at speed v = 20 m/s off a H=30 m high cliff. The road leading to the cliff is inclined upward at an angle theta = 10 degrees. How far from the base of the cliff does the car land? What is the car's impact speed? At what angle does the car hit the ground? Find the time it takes the car to hit the grounf after leaving the cliff? To what maximum height the car reaches to from the cliff? Neglect air drag and the size of the car. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2arrow_forward
- A young child uses a slingshot to launch a rock straight up at a speed of 12 m/s and then catches it at the point from where he launched it. What is the maximum height that the rock reaches?arrow_forwardA snowball rolls off a barn roof that slopes downward at an angle of 40°. The edge of the roof is 14.0 m above the ground, and the snowball has a speed of 7.00 m/s as it rolls off the roof. Ignore air resistance, how far from the edge of the barn does the snowball strike the ground if it doesn't strike anything else while falling? If a man 1.9 m tall is standing 4.0m from the edge of the barn, will he be hit by the snowball?arrow_forwardA boat crosses a 222 m wide river flowing at 4.8 m/s to reach a dock directly on the other side. If the boat motor can propel the boat at 14 m/s across the water, how long (in seconds) will it take the boat to reach the dock assuming it travels in a straight line)?arrow_forward
