- A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30.0° above horizontal with a speed of 10.0 m/s. If the projectile is moving over level ground, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the projectile at the maximum height? Neglect air resistance.

You are trying to hit the spot marked with an "X". The distances and angles are fixed, but you can adjust the launch speed. What launch speed is needed to hit the "X"? As usual, drawing is not to scale. 6 m 17 m v=? 50° 20 marrow_forwardSuppose an outfielder throws a baseball with an initial speed of 12 m/s in a direction 30° up from the horizontal. Use a trajectory diagram to determine the height of the peak of its trajectory in reality. I suggest using a time step of Δt = 0.2s and a scale of 1.0 m (in reality) = 2.0 cm (on diagram). The height of the peak of its trajectory in reality is _____ m.arrow_forward

- You want to know the height of a cliff so you throw a rock off the edge with an initial speed of 24.7 m/s inclined at an angle 31.2° above the horizontal. You have a friend that records that it takes 4.6 s for the rock to hit the bottom of the canyon after it is thrown. For the following questions, call up the positive y direction and make the positive x direction horizontal and towards the direction the rock is thrown. If you ignore air resistance, what is the y component of the velocity of the rock right before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardA projectile 10.0 m above ground is fired horizontally with an initial speed of 12.0 m/s the projectile in air = 1.43s the projectile travel before hitting the ground = 17.2 m The fired cannon at several different initial speeds and its corresponding ranges initial speed range 13.0 18.6 14.0 20.0 15.0 21.5 16.0 22.9 17.0 24.3 a.
