During Sunday's superbowl, the middle linebacker for the Seattle Sea Hawks made the following movements after the ball was snapped on third down. First, he back-pedaled in the southern direction for 2.6 meters. He then shuffled to his left (west) for a distance of 2.2 meters. Finally, he made a half-turn and ran downfield a distance of 4.8 meters in a direction of 240° counter-clockwise from east (30° W of S) before finally knocking the wind out of New England Patriots' wide receiver. Determine the magnitude and direction of his overall displacement.

The quarterback Q throws the football when the receiver R is in the position shown. The receiver's velocity is constant at 9.6 yd/sec, and he catches passes when the ball is 8.7 ft above the ground. If the quarterback desires the receiver to catch the ball 3.6 sec after the launch instant shown, determine the initial speed vo and angle e required. 6.0' R 31 yd Answers: Vo = i ft/sec i
After starting from the position marked with the "x", a football receiver B runs the slant-in pattern shown, making a cut at P and thereafter running with a constant speed vg = 6.7 yd/sec in the direction shown. The quarterback releases the ball with a horizontal velocity of 101 ft/sec at the instant the receiver passes point P. Determine the angle a at which the quarterback must throw the ball, and the velocity vA/B of the ball relative to the receiver when the ball is caught. Neglect any vertical motion of the ball. 16 yd- B 35 13 yd UB Va
The basketball player likes to release his foul shots with an initial speed vo = 24.4 ft/sec. What 2 values of the initial angle e (e, < e2)will cause the ball to pass through the center of the rim? Neglect clearance considerations as the ball passes over the front portion of the rim. 10' 6.6' 13.75' Answers: i 02 = i
A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo = 108 ft/sec directly toward fielder B at an angle of 30° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 0.37 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.9 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made. Vo 130° 2.2¹ Answer: VA/B = ( i 249' B i+ i j) ft/sec
The basketball player likes to release his foul shots with an initial speed vo = 26 ft/sec. What 2 values of the initial angle 0 (O, < O2]will cause the ball to pass through the center of the rim?

During a baseball practice session, the cutoff man A executes a throw to the third baseman B. If the initial speed of the baseball is v0 = 128 ft/sec, what angle θ is best if the ball is to arrive at third base at essentially ground level?
A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo - 128 ft/secdirectly toward fielder B at an angle of 21° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.4 ft above ground level. Fielder Brequires 0.35 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.7 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made. 121 2.4' 275' Answer: VA/B- i+ i j) ft/sec
baseball leaves the bat of Henry Aaron with a speed of 34 m/s at an angle of 370 above the horizontal. The ball is 1.2 m off the ground when it leaves the bat. To be a home run, the ball must clear a fence that is 3.0 m high and 106 m from the batter. (a.) At what times after being hit will it reach the height of the fence? (b.) How far from the batter will the ball be at these times? (c.) Will Henry have a home run? Explain.
