Question
A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 32 m/s at an angle 70° above the horizontal. The object hits the ground 10.0 seconds later. Using 9.80 m/s2 for the local acceleration due to gravity, how much higher or lower (in m) is the launch point relative to the point where the projectile hits the ground?
To what maximum height (in m) above the launch point does the projectile rise?

- Suppose a soccer player kicks the ball from a distance 15 m toward the goal. Find the initial speed of the ball if it just passes over the goal, 2.4 m above the ground, given the initial direction to be 44° above the horizontal. m/sarrow_forwardSome boys use a catapult to launch a rock from the vantage point on top of a cliff, 15.7 m above the ground. The rock is launched at a speed of 28.5 m/s and an angle of 27.6° above the horizontal. How far from the cliff, does the launched rock hit the ground?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_forward
- A crow is flying overhead 10.0 m above the ground when it drops an acorn. When the acorn is dropped, it is moving at 10.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal. Ignoring air resistance, how much time does it take the acorn to hit the ground? How far horizontally does the acorn travel before it hits the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA projectile is fired with an initial speed of 36 m/s at an angle 65° above the horizontal. The object hits the ground 8.0 seconds later.

The ball's initial speed is 12.0 m/s. At the same instant, a person is running on the ground at a distance of 23.0 m from the building. What must be the average speed of the person if he is to catch the ball at the bottom of the building?arrow_forward
- A ball is launched from the top of a building 91.1 meters above the ground. The ball is launched with a speed of 10.1 m/s at an angle 50.3 degrees above horizontal. How long, in seconds, does it take the ball to reach the ground?arrow_forwardA) The best leaper in the animal kingdom is the puma, which can jump to a height of 3.7 m when leaving the ground at an angle of 45°. With what speed must the animal leave the ground to reach that height? m/s = B) A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 20° to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 11 m/s.

The initial velocity is 16.3 m/s at 27.0 degrees above the horizontal. The ball lands on the green 1.94 seconds after it's launched. How much higher (H) is the land from which the ball is launched from the green? Air resistance doesn't have an effect.arrow_forward
