You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is ina circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet’s surface, the ship’sorbital speed is 4900 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radiusto be 4.48 * 10^6 m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where theground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m>s at anangle of 30.8 above the horizontal. If resistance due to the planet’s atmosphereis negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?
Children playing in a playground on the flat roof of a city school lose their ball to the parking lot below. One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 5.60 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 6.90 m high, forming a 1.30 m Ngh railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Find the speed (in m/s) at which the ball was launched. m/s (b) Find the vertical.distance (in m) by which the ball clears the wall. (c) Find the horizontal distance (in m) from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. (d) What If? If the teacher always launches the ball with the speed found…
A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizontally from an elevation 4.0 mm above the ground. The ball lands 30 mm away.
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 15 ft/sec. If the shooting guard is to catch the ball at a height of 6.0 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 5.2' 35' 15 ft/sec B ft/sec O 14' C 6.0' V
A baseball slugger hits a pitch and watches the ball fly into the bleachers for a home run, landing h=6.5mℎ=6.5m higher than it was struck. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf=31.35m/s at an angle θf=25.5∘ below the horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. Create an expression for the ball’s initial horizontal velocity, v0,x, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity. Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the ball’s initial velocity. Find the angle above the horizontal, in degrees, at which the ball left the bat.
In one contest at the county fair, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.1 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20∘ angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.20 m away. At what angle θ should you tilt the ball launcher?
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.

A 2.00-m-tall basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket, as in the figure below. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal, at what initial speed must he throw the basketball so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? The height of the basket is 3.05 m.
A basketball hoop is 3.05m above the court floor with a rim 0.46m in diameter parallel to the court floor. The free-throw line is 3.7m from the center of the rim. Assume the ball is 0.24m in diameter. The ball was released at a height of 2.5m, and shot with an initial angle of 45o above the horizontal, what is the range speeds that the ball must leave the player’s hands to make the basket without the ball hitting the rim? Over that range of trajectories, how long is the ball in the air for that shot?
A small ball rolls horizontally off the edge of a tabletop that is 1.20 m high at t = 0s. It strikes the floor at a point 1.52 m horizontally away from the edge of the table
A baseball slugger smacks a pitch and watches the ball soar into the bleachers for a home run, landing h=9.5mℎ=9.5m higher than it was hit. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf=39.15m/s at an angle θf=28∘ below the horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. A) Create an expression for the ball’s initial horizontal velocity, v0x0, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. B) Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity. C) Calculate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the ball’s initial velocity.

A basketball player attempts a three-point shot 10.0 m from the basket as shown in the figure below. The player shoots the ball at an angle of ? = 37.6° from horizontal, and releases the ball at a height of h = 2.12 m. The rim of the basket is at a height of H = 3.05 m. At what speed (in m/s) must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
