Question
You launch a projectile toward a tall building, from a position on the ground 36.6 m away from the base of the building. The projectile s initial velocity is 72.4 m/s at an angle of 45.9 degrees above the horizontal. At what height above the ground does the projectile strike the building?

- A cannonball is aimed 36.9° above the horizontal and is fired with an initial speed of 180 m/s at ground level. How far away from the cannon will the cannonball hit the ground?arrow_forwardYou launch a projectile at an initial speed of 38.8 m/s from the ground. After 5.10 seconds of flight, the projectile lands on the ground. At what angle above the horizontal was the projectile launched?arrow_forwardDuring the battle of Bunker Hill, Colonel William Prescott ordered the American Army to bombard the British Army camped near Boston. The projectiles had an initial velocity of 43 m/s at 33° above the horizon and an initial position that was 36 m higher than where they hit the ground. How far did the projectiles move horizontally before they hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forward
- A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.arrow_forwardA projectile is launched with a speed of 140 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal, from a height of 1500 m above the ground. How far does it travel in the horizontal direction before hitting the ground?arrow_forwardA ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 9.50 m/s at an angle of 16.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 6.00 s later.

- A daredevil is shot out of a cannon at 45.0° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 28.0 m/s. A net is positioned a horizontal distance of 48.0 m from the cannon. At what height above the cannon should the net be placed in order to catch the daredevil?arrow_forwardA ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. the ball is given an initial velocity of 8.60 m/s at an angle of 16.0 degrees below the horizontal. it strikes the ground 6.00 s later. (a) how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? (b) find the height from which the ball was thrown. (c) how long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching?arrow_forwardSpitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezing muscles around their venom glands to squirt venom at an attacker. Suppose a spitting cobra rears up to a height of 0.520 m above the ground and launches venom at 2.50 m/s, directed 37.0° above the horizon. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance (in m) traveled by the venom before it hits the ground.arrow_forward
- A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a hillside 4.00 s later. What is the projectile’s velocity (magnitude and direction) at the instant before striking the hillside? Answers: (a) 52.8 m/s @ -10.1arrow_forwardA projectile has an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s at an angle of 42.0 degrees relative to the horizontal. What is the magnitude and direction of the projectile's velocity 1.50 s after it is launched?arrow_forwardA toy cannon is located 15.0 m horizontally away from the base of a 10.5 m high building. A ball is fired from the cannon at an angle of 60.0°, and it passes some unknown distance above the top edge of the building, 1.5 s after it is being fired. (a) What should be the initial velocity of the ball so that it clears the building?(b) How far above the edge of the building is the ball when it passes over the top edge of the building?(c) Is the ball going down or still going up, at the point where it clears the wall?Justify your answer.(d) If the launch point is at the origin, what the x, y coordinates of the location at which the ball strikes the roof of the building?arrow_forward
