Question
Suppose an outfielder throws a baseball with an initial speed of 12 m/s in a direction 30° up from the horizontal. Use a trajectory diagram to determine the height of the peak of its trajectory in reality. I suggest using a time step of Δt = 0.2s and a scale of 1.0 m (in reality) = 2.0 cm (on diagram).
The height of the peak of its trajectory in reality is ______ m.

When he detects it, the balloon is at an altitude of 800 m and is moving vertically upwards with a constant speed of 5 m/s. There is 1600 m distance on the horizontal. See figure 1. The bullets from the shooter's weapon have an initial speed of 400 m/s and a fixed angle e (Seno = 3/5 y Cos0 = 4/5). The shooter waits and shoots to destroy the balloon. Take g = 10 m/s?. Neglect the resistance of the air. a) What is the time of flight of the bullet before it hits the balloon? b) What is the altitude of the collision? c) How long does the shooter wait before shooting? 5m/s 1 400m/s 1600marrow_forward
