Question
During Shaun White's Gold medal run he reached a peak height of 5.6 meters above the halfpipe. If his takeoff angle was 65 degrees above the horizontal and he landed 1.4 meters lower than when he left the halfpipe answer the following questions.
1-What was the magnitude of his initial resultant velocity?
2-How long was he in the air?
3-How far did he travel horizontally down the halfpipe (assume that his horizontal velocity is directed down the halfpipe)?

- 1. 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. A pebble is tossed into the air at an angle of 62° above the horizontal, with an initial speed of 4.8 m/s. The pebble is 1.6m above the ground when it is released by the thrower's hand. a) How long will the pebble remain airborne? b) What maximum height above the ground will the pebble achieve?arrow_forwardA canon is located on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea as shown below. The cannon is 45 m above sea level. The canon ball is fired at an angle of 60° from the horizontal with an initial speed of 50 m/s. Air resistance may beignored.i.) What will be its horizontal speed (in m/s)? answer = 25m/s ii) What horizontal distance (in m) will it travel before it falls into the sea? answer = 390m please show all workingarrow_forwardA water balloon is launched at 53.8° with respect to the ground at a velocity of 15m/s.

- For this problem think about a long jumper who takes off and lands from different heights. This is due to the Center of Gravity being higher when they leave the ground then when they contact the sand. If the jumper has a horizontal distance traveled of 7.5 meters and an initial horizontal velocity 6.1 m/s and a takeoff angle of 30 degrees. How far did the jumper fall vertically from takeoff to landing?arrow_forwardmake it clear and answerr visible thanksarrow_forwardA soccer ball is kicked with an initial horizontal velocity of 18 m/s and an initial vertical velocity of 13 m/s. 1) What is the initial speed of the ball? 2) What is the initial angle ? of the ball with respect to the ground? 3) What is the maximum height the ball goes above the ground? 4) How far from where it was kicked will the ball land?arrow_forward
