When Babe Ruth hit a homer over the 8.0-m-high rightfield fence 98 m from home plate, roughly what was the minimum speed of the ball when it left the bat? Assume the ball was hit 1.0 m above the ground and its path initiallymade a 36° angle with the ground.

In a basketball game, the point guard A intends to throw a pass to the shooting guard B, who is breaking toward the basket at a constant speed of 10 ft/sec. If the shooting guard is to catch the ball at a height of 6.6 ft at C while in full stride to execute a layup, determine the speed vo and launch angle with which the point guard should throw the ball. A Answers: Vo = VO 0 = 0 i i 5.5' 43' 10 ft/sec B ft/sec O 25' 6.6'

A parent at a Little League game returns a foul ball by throwing it back onto the field. When the parent throws the ball back, she is standing and ends up releasing the ball from a point that is 2.50m above the ground. Your best guess is that she threw the ball upward at an angle of 60o with respect to the ground and it landed 13m away from her. What was the height of the ball's apex (as measured from the ground)?

A ship launches a cannonball wuth an initial speed of 120 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The target is a coastal fort on top of the 100 m cliff. The cannonball lands on top of the fort (i.e., it's moving downwards). How far away horizontally was the fort from the ship?

A baseball is hit from a height of 1.0 m at an angle of 27 degrees above the ground. It just barely clears a fence that is 4.0 m tall and 122 m away. What was the initial speed of the ball when it was hit? (ignore air resistance)

In the figure, a stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of 45.0 m/s directed at an angle 0 = 54.0 ° above the horizontal. The stone strikes at A, 5.64 s after launching. Find (a) the height h of the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at A, and (c) the maximum height H reached above the ground. PATA PA (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units (c) Number Units > >

During a baseball game the ball is hit at home base 1 meter above ground level with a bat. After having traveled a horizontal distance of 30 m, it is 20 m above ground level. An outfielder runs to meet the ball and catches it as he dives, just 10 cm from the ground. The outfielder is 80 m away from home base when he catches the ball. Assuming the path of the ball is approximately parabolic, what is the greatest height the ball reaches?

1. A player lines up to kick a 40 m goal. In the first attempt, the ball has an initial velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 55.0 degrees. The goal posts are 3 m high. Ônce the ball passes above the field goal post (i.e., after it has travelled 40 m in the horizontal direction), it is deemed successful. (a) Determine if the goal kicker's first attempt is successful. (b) If the kicker changes the angle of kicking to 30 degrees and the initial velocity so that it JUST reaches the goal post. Determine the new initial velocity of ball.

A baseball player hits a home run, and the ball lands in the left-field seats, y = 7.70 m above the point at which it was hit. It lands with a velocity of v = 35.0 m/s at an angle of 28° below the horizontal (see the Figure). The positive directions are upward and to the right in the drawing. Ignorin air resistance, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the initial velocity with which the ball leaves the bat. +y voy 28° y=7.70m VOI v 35.0m/s

In a friendly game of handball, you hit the ball essentially at ground level and send it toward the wall with a speed of 26 m/s at an angle of 32∘ above the horizontal.How high is the ball when it hits the wall?
