Question
The hammer throw is a track-and-field event in which a 7.30-kg ball (the hammer) is whirled around in a circle several times and released. It then moves upward on the familiar curved path of projectile motion and eventually returns to the ground some distance away. The world record for the horizontal distance is 86.75 m, achieved in 1986 by Yuriy Sedykh. Ignore air resistance and the fact that the ball was released above the ground rather than at ground level. Furthermore, assume that the ball is whirled around a circle that has a radius of 2.67 m and that its velocity at the instant of release is directed 30.4° above the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the

- A ball of mass m = 0.275 kg swings in a vertical circular path on a string of length L = 0.850 m as shown. At the lowest point in its vertical path the ball is 1.5 m from the ground. If the string is cut when the ball is at the bottom of the string moving with a speed of 7.5 m/s, how far in the x-direction does the ball move before hitting the ground?arrow_forwardThe figure below shows an object initially at point A traveling in the +x-direction. It turns in a circular path at constant speed until it is traveling in the +y-direction at point C. The quarter-circle arc from A to C is 245 m in length, and the particle moves from A to C in 38.0 s. Point B on the path is 35.0° below the x-axis. 0 35.0⁰ (a) What is the speed of the object (in m/s)? m/s Need Help?

He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.arrow_forwardA clown is juggling four balls simultaneously.
