Question
On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.30 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 48.4 m/s at an angle of 32.7 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?

- garden hose sprays a burst of water horizontally from 1.6 m above level ground. It hits a fence 2.1 m away, horizontally, at a height 0.93 m above the ground. What was the initial speed of the burst of water?arrow_forwardA girl stands on a fishing pier and tosses a pebble into a pond. The pebble is thrown from a height of 2.50 m above the water surface with a velocity of 4.60 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. As the pebble strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down to exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water. After the pebble enters the water, it moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when it struck the water. If the pond is 6.20 m deep, how much time elapses (in s) between when the pebble is thrown and when it strikes the bottom of the pond? 5.195 Xarrow_forwardStanding on top of a tower, a man launches a stone at time t=0 from a point 15.0 m above ground level. At the instant of launch, the stone has a speed of u = 5.00 m s-¹ and moves in a direction that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal x-axis. At t = 2.00 s, the stone is still above ground level. 5x = Sy = 18 What are the x- and y-components of the stone's displacement relative to its launch point at time t = 2.00 s, and what is the stone's distance from its launch point at this time? Enter numbers, correct to 2 significant figures, in the three empty boxes below: S = 30 X B m m X Вarrow_forward
- An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. A child on a bridge, 66 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone?arrow_forwardA batter hits a fly ball with an initial velocity of 37 m/s at an angle of 32° from the horizontal. How much time does the outfielder have to get to the appropriate position to catch the ball?arrow_forwardA student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of vo=18.5 m/s. the cliff is h=49.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach. what are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone and the components of the initial velocity?arrow_forward
- particle A moves along the line y 30 m with a constant velocity of magnitude 3.0 m/s and parallel to the x axis. At the instant particle A passes the y axis, particle B leaves the origin with a zero initial speed and a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.40 m/s2.What angle u between and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision?arrow_forwardA soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 18.9 m/s at an upward angle of 48.1. A player 48.4 m away in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at that instant. What must be his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground? Neglect air resistance.Use g-9.81 m/s². Number 4.32 Unit m/sarrow_forwardHaving trouble figuring this one out: A playful cat sees a mouse run past him with a constant velocity of 2 m/s. One second after the mouse passes the cat, the cat jumps after the mouse at an angle of 30 degrees and some unknown initial velocity. Being a naturally-talented cat, he lands perfectly right where the mouse ends up (the mouse didn't think to turn or change his speed). What is the initial velocity of the cat?arrow_forward
- Current Attempt in Progress In the figure, particle A moves along the line y = 31.4 m with a constant velocity of magnitude 2.89 m/s and directed parallel to the x axis. At the instant particle A passes the y axis, particle B leaves the origin with zero initial speed and constant acceleration a of magnitude 0.434 m/s2. What angle between a and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision? A B 0 Xarrow_forwardRecently a space x launch vehicle was coasting at a constant velocity of 15m/s in the + y direction relative to a space station . The pilot of the vehicle fired a special RCS thruster which causes it to accelerate at 8m/s^2 in the +x direction . After 9.1 s the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster . After RCS thruster is turned off find the magnitude of the vehicles velocity in +x direction.arrow_forwardA juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 4.62 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball upward with an upward speed of v 0 so that it just reaches the ceiling. At the instant when the first ball is at ceiling, the juggler throws a second ball upward with 4v 0 /3 velocity. At what distance above the juggler’s hand do they pass each other?arrow_forward
