- Before jumping from the bridge, Martin throws his water bottle to a friend standing on the bank of the lake. The bridge is 7.0 m high. The friend is standing on the bank 15.0 m from the base of the bridge with their hand 1.0m above the ground. What speed must Martin throw the bottle horizontally for it to reach his friend's hand?arrow_forwardA cannon ball is fired at a wall that is 300 m away on level ground. The initial velocity of the cannon is 89 m/s, 40° above the horizontal. Don't assume the ball hits the wall at maximum height!

A child on a bridge, 82 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone? marrow_forward
- Alice shoots a pebble horizontally with her slingshot from a window that is at a height H and it lands a distance D away from the building. She then shoots a pebble with the same initial velocity from a different window, but this time the pebble lands a distance D/2 away. How high is the window from which Alice takes the second shot?

The ball rises, then falls and strikes the ground. Considering "up" to be the positive direction, find the ball's velocity v when it is 40 m above the ground.

The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. A) With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground? B) If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different? If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different?arrow_forward
