Question
You throw a baseball at an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal. What would the ball’s initial speed have to be at 30° on a planet that has twice the acceleration of gravity as Earth to achieve the same range? Consider launch and impact on a horizontal surface.

- Suppose an outfielder throws a baseball with an initial speed of 12 m/s in a direction 30° up from the horizontal. Use a trajectory diagram to determine the height of the peak of its trajectory in reality. I suggest using a time step of Δt = 0.2s and a scale of 1.0 m (in reality) = 2.0 cm (on diagram). The height of the peak of its trajectory in reality is _____ m.arrow_forwardAt a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 50.3 m above a horizontal field and descending at a rate of 3.5 m/s. At this instant, a girl throws a ball horizontally (relative to herself) with an a speed of 12.3 m/s. When the balloon lands on the ground, how far is she from where the ball landed? Express your answer in meters and neglect air resistance.arrow_forwardConsider a projectile being launched with an initial speed of 43 m/s at a variety of initial angles. Refer to the figure. What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ1 = 79.7°? What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ2 = 40.5°? What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ3 = 90 − 79.7°, the complement of θ1?arrow_forward

Use a coordinate system with its origin on the floor directly beneath the point where the object rolls off the table, its horizontal x-axis lying directly beneath the object’s trajectory, and its vertical y-axis pointing up. What is the vertical component of velocity, in meters per second, when the object hits the ground?arrow_forward
