- Yahya throws a ball at a height of y, = 2 m above ground with an initial speed of v, = 8.8 m/s at an angle of e, = 40° with respect to the vertical direction. [Recommended time : 6-8 minutes] A 6m high vertical wall stands 4 m away from Yahya. Will the ball go over the wall without hitting it? Oa. Yes Ob. No Oc. Maybe Od. You did not give enough informationarrow_forwardA ball is suspended from a light 1.3 m string . The string makes an angle of 24 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?arrow_forwardA rock is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 85 m/s at time t = 0. Ignore air resistance in this problem. At what times does it move with a speed of 13 m/s? Note: There are two answers to this problem.arrow_forward
- While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.89 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 13.1 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: m/sarrow_forwardI am stuck on this problem.arrow_forwardA car is traveling horizontally at 28.7 m/s at the moment it drives off the top of a cliff. The car strikes the ground 0.538 seconds after leaving the top of the cliff. Assuming air-resistance can be ignored, how tall is the cliff?arrow_forward
- A pole vaulter is momentarily motionless as he clears the bar, which is set 4.2 m above the ground. He then falls onto a thick cushion. The top of the cushion is 80 cm above the ground, and it compresses by 50 cm as the pole vaulter comes to rest. What is his acceleration as he comes to rest on the cushion?arrow_forwardAn object is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of +5 m/s and then comes back down. What is the final velocity when it returns to its initial height? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 4.62 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball upward with an upward speed of v 0 so that it just reaches the ceiling. At the instant when the first ball is at ceiling, the juggler throws a second ball upward with 4v 0 /3 velocity. At what distance above the juggler’s hand do they pass each other?arrow_forward
- You are playing Hot Rod toy cars with your nephew and niece. Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.00 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it. What was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the floor?arrow_forwardYou throw a 19.6-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is 10.0 m above the ground, it is traveling at 20.0 m/s upward. What is the rock's initial speed as it left the ground? 32.4 m/s O 14.0 m/s 24.4 m/s 30.4 m/s O 17.3 m/sarrow_forward9: An archer fires an arrow straight up into the air with a speed v0=35.6m/s. Neglect air resistance. a. Find the maximum height, hℎ, in meters, reached by the arrow. b. In terms of known quantities, write an expression for the time the arrow is in the air until it returns to launch height.arrow_forward
