- A golfer hits an approach shot with a velocity of 38.2 m/s at 50 degrees above the horizontal. The golf ball lands directly next to the hole, 5.50 m above the ball’s original position, and stops immediately.

- A cart is moving with a constant horizontal velocity of 5.00 m/s. A small pebble is launched from the front of the cart with a velocity of 8.00 m/s at 60.0° above the horizontal as measured relative to the cart (see figure) and experiences no significant air resistance. Cart 60° 8.00 m/s -5.00 m/s Just as the pebble returns to the level from which it was launched, what is its distance from the front of the cart? How far did the pebble travel from its launch point relative to the ground.arrow_forwardIn the figure, you throw a ball toward a wall at speed 36.0 m/s and at angle 00 = 41.0° above the horizontal. The wall is distance d = 20.0 m from the release point of the ball. (a) How far above the release point does the ball hit the wall?
