- A ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 16 m/s in the horizontal direction and 12 m/s in the vertical direction. The ball lands a horizontal distance of 50 m from where it was kicked. (a) For how long does the ball remain in the air? (b)What maximum height is attained by the ball?arrow_forwardA juggler usually throws balls vertically upwards to a certain height. How high should the balls be thrown in order to spend double the time in the air?arrow_forwardThe maximum horizontal distance a boy can throw a ball is 50 m. Assume he can throw with the same initial speed at all angles. How high does he throw the ball when he throws it straight upward?arrow_forward

What is the maximum height of the object?arrow_forwardA goalie kicks a soccer ball straight vertically into the air. It takes 3.10 s for the ball to reach its maximum height and come back down to the level of the crossbar. Assume the crossbar of a soccer goal is 2.1 m above the ground. (a) How fast was the ball originally moving when it was kicked? (b) How much longer does the ball take to reach the ground after it passes the crossbar?arrow_forward
- In Basketball, an offensive player will shoot the ball in an attempt to score points. A player on defense may attempt to "block" the shot, but goaltending is not allowed. A blocked shot is defined as the defensive player touching the ball when it is moving upwards, while goaltending is defined as the defensive player touching the ball when it is coming back down Suppose an offisive player shoots the ball from an initial position of 2.40 m with an initial (upwards) velocity of 5.94 m/s. Part A If the defensive player touched the ball at a height of 4.00 m and was called for goaltending, at what time after the offensive player shot the ball was the ball touched? t= Or [Π| ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer ?arrow_forwardAn eagle is flying horizontally at 6.2m/a with a fish in its claws. It accidentally drops the fish. How much time passes before the fish’s speed doubles, and how much additional time would be required for the speed to double again?arrow_forwardProblem 1: A ball is initially 1.2 m above the ground. The ball is launched horizontally (0 = 0°) and the ball hits the ground after it travels a horizontal distance of 3.5 m. a) How long was the ball in the air? b) What was the initial speed of the ball?arrow_forward
- Problem 5: A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 70 m building and it lands 90 m from the base of the building. a) How long is the ball in the air? b) What must have been the initial speed of the ball? c) What is the vertical component of the ball's velocity just before it hits the ground? d) What is the ball's speed just before it hits the ground?arrow_forward4.
