Question
An egg is thrown horizontally with a speed of 2.5m/s from the top of a 5story ( about 40.m tall). Neglecting the wind resistance.
How fat horizontally from the base of the building does the egg land?
What is the speed of the egg at the instantaneous moment just before it hits the ground?

- 1. A physics book slides off a horizontal table top with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350 s. Ignore air resistance. Find (a) the height of the table top above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book’s velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor. (d) Draw x-t, y-t, and graphs for the motion.arrow_forwardA projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal.

- A ball is suspended from a light 1.3 m string . The string makes an angle of 24 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?arrow_forwardBefore 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 ladder is propped up against a wall. At the instant when the top of the ladder, point A, is 4 m above the floor, the lower end of the ladder, point B, is 3 m from the wall. If the base of the ladder, point B, at this moment is sliding out at a speed of 2 m/s, what is the speed (absolute magnitude of the velocity) of the top of the ladder, point A, in m/s? Round to the first decimal. Take g to be 10 m/s². Attach your work for partial credit. A 0 B Barrow_forward
- A 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! What is the y-component of the ball's velocity when the ball hits the wall? h V; = 89 m/s 40° 300 m O 89.0 m/s O 9.81 m/s O 7.60 m/s O 18.2 m/s O 14.1 m/s O 2.99 m/sarrow_forwardA student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 17.0 m/s. The cliff is h = 51.0 m above a flat horizontal beach, as shown in the figure below. How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (s) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? ( m/s) ( ° below the horizontal)arrow_forwardYou are playing Hot Rod toy cars with your nephew and niece. Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.00 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it. What was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the floor?arrow_forward
- A golfer gives a ball a maximum initial speed of 51.8 m/s. What is the longest possible hole-in-one for this golfer? Neglect any distance the ball might roll on the green and assume that the tee and the green are at the same level. What is the minimum speed of the ball during this hole-in-one shot?arrow_forwardYour nephew got a Nerf Bazooka gun for Christmas, so you take it outside to play with it (just like my uncles did when I was little). The bazooka is on your shoulder, 1.5 m above the ground. You aim the gun 25° above the horizontal and the big, foam projectile leaves the gun with an initial velocity of 36 m You accidentally aim the bazooka at a tree that is a horizontal distance of 27 m away. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the tree? t = How high (above the ground) in the tree does the projectile get stuck? hfinal = m Imagine you were more clever and aimed into an empty field with no obstructions. You can control how fast the projectile leaves the gun by pumping more times or fewer times (more pumps = faster projectile). What are TWO ways you could increase the amount of time that the projectile is in the air?arrow_forward(b) y-coordinate Need Help? Read It Watch It Submit Answer 2. DETAILS SERCP11 3.2.P.009.

From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height yo above the ground with an initial velocity of 8.90 m/s and angle of 22.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the gyound 6.00 s (a) If the base of the building is taken to be the origin of the coordinates, with upward-the positive y-direction, what are the initial coordinates of the ball?
