Question
A football quarterback is moving straight backward at a speed of 3.8 m/s when he lobs eight football to the receiver 15 m straight down field
if the ball is thrown an angle of 25° relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released, what is the initial speed relevant to the ground in meters per second

- Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.45 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 36.4 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 7.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground? Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels?arrow_forward69) A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.arrow_forwardA motorcycle travels 80 m [north] in 15 s.
