Question
A rock is thrown at a 30 degree angle above the horizontal from the edge of a cliff. It hits the water below in .8 secs. If it had been thrown with an initial velocity vector that had the same vertical component and double the original horizontal component, how long would it have taken to hit the ground?

- In the figure, a baseball is hit at a height h = 1.20 m and then caught at the same height. It travels alongside a wall, moving up past the top of the wall 1.3 s after it is hit and then down past the top of the wall 3.6 s later, at distance D = 45 m farther along the wall. (a) What horizontal distance is traveled by the ball from hit to catch? What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball's velocity just after being hit?

The horizontal distance between the buildings is 36.0 m, and the heights of the Jackson and Walton buildings are, respectively, 18.0 m and 20.0 m. The first balloon launched by the Jackson team hits Walton dorm 2.00 s after launch, striking it halfway between the ground and the roof. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find the direction of the balloon's initial velocity. Give your answer as an angle (in degrees) measured above the horizontal. (b) A second balloon launched at the same angle hits the edge of Walton's roof. Find the initial speed of this second balloon.

- During the battle of Bunker Hill, Colonel William Prescott ordered the American Army to bombard the British Army camped near Boston. The projectiles had an initial velocity of 43 m/s at 33° above the horizon and an initial position that was 36 m higher than where they hit the ground. How far did the projectiles move horizontally before they hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA ball is shot from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 18 m/s at an angle θ = 43° above the horizontal. If a nearby building is the same height and 61 m away, how far below the top of the building will the ball strike the nearby building? ( Choose upward as the positive y-direction and express the displacement with the sign of the result, which must be in units of meters and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.80 m/s2.)arrow_forwardAt time t = 0, a projectile is launched from ground level. At t = 2.00 s, it is displaced d = 47 m horizontally and h = 76 m vertically above the launch point. What are the (a) horizontal and (b)vertical components of the initial velocity of the projectile? (c) At the instant it reaches its maximum height above ground level, what is its horizontal displacement D from the launch point?arrow_forward
