A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
Rain is falling steadily, but there is no wind. You are on a bus that moves at 35.0 km/hr, and you see that the rain appears to be falling at an angle of 42o with respect to the vertical. What is the vertical speed of the rain drops?
An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 3.50 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is the diver's speed, in m/s, just before she enters the water? m/s
A rocket was launched at a 35-degree angle above the horizontal at an initial velocity of +55 m/s. What is the Vy and Vx of this rocket?
A river flows due south with a speed of2.0 m/s. You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative tothe water is 4.2 m/s due east. The river is 500 m wide. What is the velocity of the boat relative to the earth?
Emily throws a soccer ball out of her dorm window to Allison, who is waiting below to catch it. Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30° below horizontal with a speed of 12 m/s, and Allison catches it 2.5 s later. How far from the base of the dorm does Allison stand to catch the ball, in meters
A river flows due south with a speed of2.0 m/s. You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative tothe water is 4.2 m/s due east. The river is 500 m wide. What is your velocity (magnitude and direction) relative to the earth?
A plane is travelling horizontally at 1500 km/h. A rocket is fired horizontally ahead from the plane at an angle of 6.0o from the direction of the plane and with a velocity of 2000 km/h. What is the resultant velocity of the rocket?
A bullet is fired with a certain velocity at an angle θ above the horizontal at a location where g = 10.0 m/s2. The initial x and y components of its velocity are 86.6 m/s and 50.0 m/s respectively. What is the initial velocity of the bullet?
You hit a golf ball from the (level) ground, with an initial speed and an initial angle. Ignore air resistance. (This is very unrealistic.) The initial speed is v0 = 23.7 m/s, and the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 46o. Calculate vx0, the initial horizontal component of velocity (in m/s). What equations describe the trajectory of the golf ball?
A sailor in a small boat encounters shifting winds. She sails 8 km south, then 15 km 30o E of N, and then 12 km 25o N of W. Use the polygon method to determine the magnitude and direction of her resultant displacement.
