- Galileo's Martian descendants find that when they release balls down ramps to fly off tables that the relationship of table height h to the horizontal range of flight and the launch velocity v is h = 1.5 (3) ² They determine that releasing the ball from a 0.5-meter high ramp produces a launch velocity of around 1.9 m/s. What horizontal range before hitting the ground will the ball cover if launched off a 0.8-meter high table at this speed?arrow_forward"A person stands on the ground 60m away from a cliff with a height h. They throw a ball toward the cliff with a speed of vp = 30 m/s and an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on top edge of the cliff some time later. How high is the cliff, and what is the ball's impact speed?"arrow_forwardImagine that you hit a ball at ground level and send it toward the wall with a speed at 18 m/s at an angle of 32° above the horizontal. (a) How long does it take for the ball to reach the wall if it is 3.8 m away. (b) How high is the ball when it hits the wall?arrow_forward
- An eagle is flying horizontally at 7.7 m/s with a fish in its claws. It accidentally drops the fish. (in seconds) (a) How much time passes before the fish's speed quadruples?(b) How much additional time would be required for the fish's speed to quadruple again?arrow_forwardWhen a balloon is at a height of 6400 ft and rising at a speed of 32ft/sec, a stone is thrown vertically out of the balloon. The stone hits the grounddirectly below in 20 sec. (a) What was the initial velocity of the stone relativeto the balloon? (b) Relative to the ground?arrow_forwardBased on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: A poké-ball rolls off Ash’s table with a velocity of 1.93 m/s [horizontally]. The tabletop is 76.5 cm above the floor. If air resistance is negligible, determine how long the poké-ball is airborne the horizontal range (distance) the velocity at impactarrow_forward
- A football is thrown from the edge of a cliff from a height of 29 m at a velocity of 23 m/s [30 o above the horizontal]. A player at the bottom of the cliff is 24 m away from the base of the cliff and runs at a maximum speed of 7.0 m/s to catch the ball. Is it possible for the player to catch the ball?arrow_forwardm/s. An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 2.8 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 5.8 m below. (₁) Calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water inarrow_forwardAn airplane flies horizontally at a speed of 477 km/h and drops a crate that falls to the horizontal ground below. Neglect air resistance. A) If the altitude of the plane was 576 m, then how far, horizontally in meters, did the crate move as it fell to the ground? B) What was the speed of the crate, in m/s, just before it hit the ground?arrow_forward
- A cargo plane is moving with a horizontal velocity of v. = +223 m/s at a height of y = 1190 m above level ground as shown in the figure below when it releases a package. Ignoring air resistance, how much time, in seconds, will it take the package to reach the g (Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.)arrow_forwardImagine a firework has a fuse designed so that it explodes at the highest point of its trajectory, and it's launched with an initial speed of 60 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees to the horizontal. What height h it explodes at? (Answer in cm and 4 decimal places) Thank you!arrow_forwardWhile you are on lookout duty at your fortress, you spot an enemy ship moving directly towards you with a constant speed of 15 m/s. At the moment when the ship is 1.5 km away, you fire a shell at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal, which hits the enemy ship. What was the initial speed of the shell to 2 sig figs?arrow_forward
