- a guy is throwing pumpkins off a five story (15 meters high) building and wants the messiest result possible (highest velocity impact). a) he first throws a pumpkin downward at 45 degrees below the horizon at 15 m/s. how fast does the pumpkin hit the ground? at what angle does it hit? b) he then throws a second pumpkin upward with the same velocity 45 degrees above the horizon. how fast does the second pumpkin hit the ground? c) which strategy (throwing the pumpkin up or down) results in a higher velocity impact? think about why this might bearrow_forwardCannon problem: There is a new cannon entering service. The artillery crews need some information about the cannon's behavior so they can make adjustments to the firing angle as needed. When the engineers tell the artillery crew the range to the target, the crew must be able to calculate and set the proper firing angle for the cannon quickly. a) In order to calculate the proper firing angle what do they need to know about the cannonball leaving the cannon? (Ignore the height of the cannon above the ground. For now we will assume it makes little difference) b) Given your answer for part a, we need to identify the point in the cannonball's flight when it has its "initial velocity". The cannonball is clearly moving inside the barrel of the cannon, but at which point in the cannonball's path do we mark the initial velocity? The cannonball is packed onto a mass of gunpowder in the base of the cannon.

In a basketball game, a player shoots the ball at a velocity of 4.31 m/s at 17.30 above the horizontal. A player on the other team jumps up and blocks the ball at the maximum height. A) Character How far horizontally does the ball travel to where it is blocked? B) How long is the ball in the air before being blocked C) If the ball wasn't blocked, what is the magnitude and direction of the velocity when the ball returns to the launch height?

- Top Golf is a famous and well-known place for sports entertainment and family fun. Typically a building has two to three floors full of rooms for people to rent and relax in while they hit golf balls onto a 250-yard field. Suppose a person hits a golf ball from the second floor (h) with an initial velocity of 118 mph at a 15° angle (0). The golf ball is in the air for (t) secs and lands 170 (x) yards from its initial place. The path of the golf ball is depicted in figure 2. Hint: 1 mile 5280 ft, 1 yard = 3 ft = (i) How long does it take for the golf ball to land on the field in seconds? (t) (ii) At what height was the ball struck at in feet? (h) (iii) What is the maximum height the golf ball reaches in feet? (yax) Figure 2. V₂arrow_forwardA blue person throwsan object with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 37 degrees. A green person stands 15 meters in front of the blue person and throws an object straight up. Assume that both objects are thrown from the same initial elevation. a) if the green person throws their object with an initial speed of 20 m/s at what time should they throw it strikes the other object while it is traveling upward? measure this time relative to when the blue person throws their object?arrow_forwardYou throw a ball up at some angle above the horizontal so that its velocity is (v0x, v0y). You then run 22.0 m forward on level ground and catch the ball 2.90 s later at the same altitude it was released from. a) How high above the release point did the ball reach? b) What was the horizontal component of the ball’s initial velocity, v0x? c) What was the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity, v0y?arrow_forward
- If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, then compare their impact velocities. a)The impact velocity when throwing a stone above horizontal will be more than the case when throwing a stone below horizontal. b The impact velocities of the two situations will be the same. c More information is needed to conclude the relative strength of impact velocities. d).The impact velocity when throwing a stone above horizontal will be less than the case when throwing a stone below horizontal. which option is correctarrow_forward1. The distance between home plate and the pitcher's mound in baseball is 60.5 ft. In MLB, baseballs are. pitched at about 90mph. Assume the ball is thrown perfectly horizontally, at 0°. How far in feet will the ball drop during its transit to home plate? Use g = 32 ft/s². (Note: this is why pitcher's mounds are raised.) 2.
