Question
The application of physics is everywhere. In school, physics applications can be seen in other learning areas like physical education (P.E). When you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle do you intend to kick the ball?

If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?arrow_forwardA horizontal projectile is fired and it takes 4 s to reach the ground after being launched from the top of a hill. a) What is the height of the cliff? b) What horizontal distance does it travel from the launching point to the impact point?

The ball lands on the ground 2.8 s later. How tall, in meters, is the building?arrow_forward
- Having 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_forwardA clown juggle balls while doing other activities. In one act, she throws a ball vertically upward, and while it is in the air, she runs to and from a table 5.5 m away at constant speed of 2.5 m/s, returning just in time to catch the falling ball. With what minimum initial speed must she throw the ball upward to accomplish the act?arrow_forwardA baseball is thrown toward a player with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at 50⁰ with the horizontal. At the moment the ball is thrown, the player is 150 m from the thrower. At what average speed must he run toward the thrower to catch the baseball 0.914 m above the height at which it was released?arrow_forward
- A fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit) Blank 1arrow_forwardIn an article on the use of the sling as a weapon, the author states that a skilled slinger can sling a rock a distance of about 384 m. What is the minimum speed the rock must have when it leaves the sling to travel exactly 384 m? To solve this problem it will be necessary to first determine the required launch angle of the projectile. What launch angle must the projectile have in order to find the minimum speed required to achieve a given horizontal distance?arrow_forwardOn a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.10 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 48.6 m/s at an angle of 33.9 ° 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?arrow_forward
