Question
A quarterback takes the ball from the line of scrimmage, runs backwards for 10.0 yards, then runs sideways parallel to the line of scrimmage for 15.0 yards. At this point, he throws a 50.0-yard forward pass straight downfield, perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. What is the magnitude of the football’s resultant displacement?

- A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 21.7 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 19.1 m/s at an angle above the ground. Between what two angles, 0₁ and 02, will the ball clear the 2.67-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec 0 = 1/(cos) and sec²0 = 1 + tan²0.)

The horizontal distance between the buildings is 37.0 m, and the heights of the Jackson and Walton buildings are, respectively, 16.0 m and 20.0 m. The first balloon launched by the Jackson team hits Walton dorm 1.90 s after launch, striking it halfway between the ground and the roof. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find the direction of the balloon's initial velocity. Give your answer as an angle (in degrees) measured above the horizontal. (b) A second balloon launched at the same angle hits the edge of Walton's roof. Find the initial speed of this second balloon.

For the last pitch, Gibson hits the baseball with 82 ft/s at angle of 75°. When the ball is directly above Shigeno he begins to run under it. Determine the (a) the total distance that the pitcher runs and (b) the constant speed at which pitcher must run in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit.

When you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle do you intend to kick the ball?arrow_forwardIn Basketball, an offensive player will shoot the ball in an attempt to score points. A player on defense may attempt to "block" the shot, but goaltending is not allowed. A blocked shot is defined as the defensive player touching the ball when it is moving upwards, while goaltending is defined as the defensive player touching the ball when it is coming back down Suppose an offisive player shoots the ball from an initial position of 2.40 m with an initial (upwards) velocity of 5.94 m/s. Part A If the defensive player touched the ball at a height of 4.00 m and was called for goaltending, at what time after the offensive player shot the ball was the ball touched? t= Or [Π| ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer ?arrow_forward
