Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
An airplane flies horizontally at a speed of 477 km/h and drops a crate that falls to the horizontal ground below. Neglect air resistance. A) If the altitude of the plane was 576 m, then how far, horizontally in meters, did the crate move as it fell to the ground? B) What was the speed of the crate, in m/s, just before it hit the ground?
Galileo's Martian descendants find that when they release balls down ramps to fly off tables that the relationship of table height h to the horizontal range of flight and the launch velocity v is h = 1.5 (3) ² They determine that releasing the ball from a 0.5-meter high ramp produces a launch velocity of around 1.9 m/s. What horizontal range before hitting the ground will the ball cover if launched off a 0.8-meter high table at this speed?
If I drop a watermelon from the top of one of the tower dorms at WSU, and it takes 3.34 seconds to hit the ground, calculate how tall the building is in meters and then convert into feet. (Solve for distance using the free-fall equation)
During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2 km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range. a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range? b) How long was the ball in the air? c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?
I’m going to use the equation Vf = Vi + at after we rearrange t = (Vf – Vi) ÷ a t = (-11.5 m/s – 11.5 m/s) ÷ -9.8 m/s2 = 2.35 seconds With a time of 2.35 m/s, and using the equation for constant velocity for our horizontal range, we calculate the range Range = Horizontal Velocity x time Range = 9.6 m/s x 2.35 sec = 22.6m Question: Now, set the muzzle velocity of the cannon to 12 m/s and set the angle of the cannon to 300. First calculate the time and the range using the above approach.

An arrow is shot from 5 ft above the top of a hill with a vertical upward velocity of 104 ft/s. If it strikes the plain below after 9.5 s, how high is the hill? If the arrow is launched at t 0, then write an equation describing velocity as a function of time. v(t) = 104 - 32t The hill is ft tall.

Part (a) If the altitude of the plane was 570 m, then how far, horizontally in meters, did the crate move as it fell to the ground? Part (b) What was the speed of the crate, in m/s, just before it hit the ground?
On a planet very similar to Earth, but slightly denser, where acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2, a projectile is fire vertically from a height of 100 meters with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Its position above the ground after t seconds is given by h(t) = 100 + 40t − 5t2 meters. Find the maximum height the projectile attains.
