- A placekicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 22.6 m/s at an angle of 52.0° to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar? (Enter a negative answer if it falls short.)m(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling? rising? falling?arrow_forwardA quarterback takes the ball from the line of scrimmage, runs backwards for 13.0 yards, then runs sideways parallel to the line of scrimmage for 19.0 yards. At this point, he throws a 52.0-yard forward pass straight downfield, perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. What is the magnitude of the football's resultant displacement?arrow_forwardA projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?arrow_forward

- a) If Billy-Joe kicks a stone with a horizontal velocity of 3.50 m/s, and it lands in the water a horizontal distance of 5.40 m from where Billy-Joe is standing, what is the height of the bridge? b) If the stone had been kicked harder, how would this affect the time it would take to fall?arrow_forwardA catfish is spotted at the bottom of a creek. The depth of the water is 2 m. A hunter (with no knowledge ofoptics) fires a rifle shot, directly aimed at the catfish. The bullet strikes the water at an angle of 40° to the water. Assumethat the bullet is not deflected by the air/water interface, what is the distance from the bullet hole at the bottom of the creekto the catfish?A) 0.88 mB) 0.97 mC) 0.49 mD) 0.56 mE) 0.73 marrow_forwardA juggler throws balls straight up in the air. After the balls leave his hand and while it is in the air, explain WHY each of the following four statement is FALSE. Write the right answer. (a) The velocity of the ball is always in the same direction as it's acceleration. (b) The velocity of the ball is never in the same direction as it's acceleration. (c) The acceleration of the ball is zero. (d) The velocity of the pin is the same direction as it's acceleration on the way up.arrow_forward
- As a projectile moves in its path, is there any point along the path where the velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel to each other? ( assume the object is thrown upward and forward, but not straight up.)arrow_forwardUse a graphing utility to obtain the path of a projectile launched from the ground (h = 0) at the specified values of θ = 35°, v0 = 300 feet per second. In the exercise, use the graph to determine the maximum height and the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. Also use the graph to determine the range of the projectile and the time it hits the ground. Round all answers to the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardA baseball is hit with an initial speed of 45 m/s at an angle of 33° relative to the x (horizontal) axis. (a) Find the speed of the ball at t = 3.0 s. m/s (b) What angle does make with the x axis at this moment? ° (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) (c) While the ball is in the air, at what value of t is the speed the smallest?
