- You hit a golf ball from the (level) ground, with an initial speed and an initial angle. Ignore air resistance. (This is very unrealistic.) The initial speed is v0 = 23.7 m/s, and the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 46o. Calculate vx0, the initial horizontal component of velocity (in m/s). What equations describe the trajectory of the golf ball?arrow_forwardA cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s and 25.0º angle above horizontal from a height of 12.0 m. How far can the cannonball go horizontally when it lands on the ground, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. (Hint: Clearly label quantities along x- and y- components and write down all steps.)arrow_forwardConsider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle ? with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(?)) and y = h + (v0 sin ?)t - 16t2.Let h=6, v0=63.25, and ?=0.79. What is the range of the projectile (i.e., how far does it travel? Round your answers to two decimal places).arrow_forward
- A high-performance jet plane, practicing radar avoidance maneuvers, is in horizontal flight 40.0 m above the level ground. Suddenly, the plane encounters terrain that slopes gently upward at 3.90°, an amount difficult to detect (see the figure). How much time does the pilot have to make a correction to avoid flying into the ground ( s)? The speed of the plane is 1200 km/h.arrow_forwardThe initial speed of a tennis ball is 57.5 m/s and the launch angle is ?i = 16°. Neglect air resistance.Question 1) What is the maximum height, h, of the tennis ball? in mQuestione 2) What is the range, R, of the tennis ball? in m info given: what angle results in the greatest height=90 For this 90° angle, the horizontal component of velocity is zero, so the initial velocity is completely in the vertical direction, resulting in greatest height Kato tries substituting ty,max for t, 0 for yi, and h for yf, and gets h = vi2 sin2 ?i 2g When ?i = 90°, sin2 ?i is maximum, so h is maximum what angle results in the maximum horizontal range=45° I substituted 2vi sin ?i g into the expression for the horizontal component of velocity, (vi cos ?i)t, and got R = 2vi2 sin ?i cos ?i g when ?i = 45°, 2?i = 90°, and sin 90° = 1, which is its maximum value.arrow_forwardThis problem will involve deriving a formula or two for a projectile launched from one height and angle and landing at a different height on Earth. Begin with a projectile launched at angle 0 above horizontal from a height y₁ with initial velocity Vo. The projectile lands at a point with height y₂. These are the given quantities: vo, 0, y₁, y2 and g. Construct formulae for each of the following, as. a function of given quantities the horizontal distance traveled. the maximum height reached. the time taken. the angle of impact. (find the final velocity components first).arrow_forward
- An object is launched at a velocity of 20m/s in a direction making an angle of 25° upward with the horizontal. a) What is the maximum height reached by the object? b) What is the total flight time ( between launch and touching the ground) of the object? C) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object? d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardAn object on the ground is launched at 35ˍm/s at an angle of 61° above the horizontal. If the object lands on top of a 5.9ˍm tall hill, then what is the horizontal displacement of the object?arrow_forwardPlease answer the following. If not then answer number 3 only.arrow_forward
