The catapult is used to launch a ball such that it strikes the wall of the building at the maximum height of its trajectory. If it takes 1.5 s to travel from A to B, determine the velocity VA at which it was launched, the angle of release ), and the height h.
A tennis player strikes the tennis ball with her racket when the ball is at the uppermost point of its trajectory as shown. The horizontal velocity of the ball just before impact with the racket is v1 = 50 ft/sec, and just after impact its velocity is v2 = 70 ft/sec directed at the 15° angle as shown. If the 2-oz ball is in contact with the racket for 0.02 sec, determine the magnitude of the average force R exerted by the racket on the ball. Also determine the angle β made by R with the horizontal.
The baseball player A hits the baseball at VA = 40 ft/s and θA = 60° from the horizontal. When the ball is directly overhead of player B he begins to run under it. Determine the constant speed at which B must run and the distance d in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit.
