The smal archerfish Dength 20 to 25 cm) lives in brackish waters of Southeast Asia from India to the Philippines. This aptly named creature captures its prey by shooting a stream of water drops at an insect. either flying or at rest. The bug falls into the water and the fish gobbles it up. The archerfish has high accuracy at distances of 1.2 m to 1.5 m, and it sometimes makes hits at distances up to 3.5 m. A groove in the roof of its mouth, along with a curled tongue, forms a tube that enables the fish to impart high velocity to the water in its mouth when it suddenly closes its gill flaps. Suppose the archerfish shoots at a target that is 2.40 m away, measured along a line at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. With what velocity must the water stream be launched if it is not to drop more than 5.00 cm verticaly on its path to the target? 22.65 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may
A juggler usually throws balls vertically upwards to a certain height. How high should the balls be thrown in order to spend double the time in the air?
A cheetah spots a Thomson's gazelle, its preferred prey, and leaps into action, quickly accelerating to its top speed of 30 m/sm/s, the highest of any land animal. However, a cheetah can maintain this extreme speed for only 15 ss before having to let up. The cheetah is 270 mm from the gazelle as it reaches top speed, and the gazelle sees the cheetah at just this instant. With negligible reaction time, the gazelle heads directly away from the cheetah, accelerating at 4.6 m/s2m/s2 for 5.0 ss, then running at constant speed. By what distance is the gazelle in front when the cheetah gives up?

Before considering the air resistance, the time and range of the object after it hits the ground from a canon is 1.29 s and 17.57 m and the highest height it made was 2.05m. After considering the air resistance, its new time and range is 1.26 s and 16.03 m, respectively and its new height is 1.95 m. What are the effects of air resistance on the range and final height of a projectile? Given that the initial speed, initial height and initial angle were all constant.
The British Queen Elizabeth-class battleship HMS Warspite achieved the longest naval gunnery hit from a moving ship to a moving target in history, hitting the Italian battleship Guilio Cesare in the Battle of Taranto. According to known data, the range was 24000 meters, and that the British 15-inch Mk I naval gun has a maximum muzzle velocity of 800 meters per second. Due to movement, a headwind was against the British battleship, forcing its shells to decelerate by approximately 0.5 meters per second squared. Find the firing angle of the Warspite upon hitting Guilio Cesare. Find the impact velocity of the 15-inch naval cannon's shell.
