Question
During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at
23.6 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally
2.37 m above the court surface. The net is 12 m away and 0.90 m
high.When the ball reaches the net, (a) does the ball clear it and
(b) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top
of the net? Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but
now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal.When the
ball reaches the net, (c) does the ball clear it and (d) what now is
the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net?

- A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.1 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.60 m high, forming a 1.5-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of e = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. (Give your answer to two decimal places to reduce rounding errors in later parts.) m/s (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. marrow_forwardWater leaves a fireman’s hose (held near the ground) with an initial velocity v0 = 23 m/s at an angle θ = 33° above horizontal. Assume the water acts as a projectile that moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the hose nozzle position, as shown. At what horizontal distance d from the building base, where should the fireman place the hose for the water to reach its maximum height as it strikes the building? Express this distance, d, in terms of v0, θ, and g.arrow_forwardA playground is on the flat roof of a city school, hb = 6.70 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.90 m high, to form a 1.2-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of ? = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. Question: (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.arrow_forward
- A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, h = 6.00 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.50 m high, to form a 1.5-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.
