pellets from his BB gun. She points the gun horizontally. On a vertical wall a
distance 47.3 m away from the gun, a target is placed. The shots hit the target a
vertical distance 0.10 m below the gun's barrel. What is the initial speed of the
pellets?

- Measurements of a shot recorded on a videotape during a basketball game are shown below. The ball passed through the hoop even though it barely cleared the hands of the player B who attempted to block it. Neglect the size of the ball.

He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?arrow_forwardIn a live fire exercise, an Army artillery team fires an artillery shell from a howitzer. The barrel of the howitzer makes a 54.0° angle above horizontal, and the speed of the shell upon exiting the barrel is 350 m/s. The shell hits a target on the side of a mountain 35.5 s after firing. Assuming the point where the shell exits the barrel to be the origin, and assuming as usual that the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical, find the x and y coordinates, in meters, of the target. x = y = m marrow_forward

- During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 28.3 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.57 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? (b) Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Enter a positive number if the ball clears the net. If the ball does not clear the net, your answer should be a negative number. Use g=9.81 m/s².

An athletic player may be able to hit it when the bottom of the ball is 3 m above the ground. Without aerodynamic effects, a horizontally hit serve will never work—it will go into the net or go too far and out of bounds. How much time does it take for the ball to fall to the height of the top of the net (which is 2.41 m above the floor)? Also, calculate the minimum launch speed for the ball to make it over the net. Round the final answer to two decimal places. What is the range of the ball struck horizontally at this speed? Round the final answer to one decimal place. Do you think that putting topspin on the serve might improve the serve? The “sky serve” is intended to land on the opponent’s side at a nearly straight-down trajectory. If this serve were a sky serve, launched at the same speed, but at the nearly vertical angle of 85°, would it…arrow_forwardIn 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 12 ft/sec.

Once it leaves the hose, the water moves in projectile motion. The firemen adjust the angle of elevation a of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s to reach a building 45.0 m away. You can ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level. (a) Find the angle of elevation a.
