Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance (the initial angle being neither 0° nor 90°) (a) Is the velocity ever zero? (b) When is the velocity a minimum? A maximum? (c) Can the velocity ever be the same as the initial velocity at a time other than at

- Assume you launch a projectile very close to the left edge of the building. It has a height of 500 meters. It follows a parabolic trajectory and just barely misses the right edge of the building and keeps falling to the ground. If the initial velocity is 26 m/s at an angle of 40° with respect to the top of the building what is: a) the x and y components of the initial velocity? b) the maximum height the projectile reaches? c) the time it takes to reach this height? d) the length of time the projectile is over the building? e) the approximate length of the building? f) the velocity and angle the projectile is just as it passes the edge of the building? g) the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground after it misses the building? h) the x distance the projectile has traveled from the right edge of the building? i) the x component of the velocity vector right before it hits the ground? j) the y component of the velocity vector right before it hits the ground? k) the velocity…arrow_forwardA bullet is fired at an initial velocity of V m/s and an angle of 65° at the top of a 150 m tallbuilding. Neglecting air resistance, determine the following:a) The maximum height above the level ground that can be reached by the bullet.b) The time for the bullet to hit the ground.c) The velocity with which the bullet will hit the ground. the value V=13.arrow_forwardThe magnitude of the velocity of a projectile when it is at its maximum height above ground level is 10.0 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the projectile 1.00 s before it achieves its maximum height? (b) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the projectile 1.00 s after it achieves its maximum height? If we take x = 0 and y = 0 to be at the point of maximum height and positive x to be in the direction of the velocity there, what are the (c) x coordinate and (d) y coordinate of the projectile 1.00 s before it reaches its maximum height and the (e) x coordinate and (f) y coordinate 1.0 s after it reaches its maximum height?arrow_forward
- A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 88 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 60 ft. Determine the distance h by which the ball clears the top of the cliff and the time t after release for the ball to land at B. Also, calculate the magnitude of the impact velocity vg. Neglect air resistance and the small horizontal motion of the ball. Answers: h = i ft t = i sec VB = i ft/secarrow_forwardA man stands on the roof of a 15.0 m tall building and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 30.0 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate: a)the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock. b)the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground c)the horizontal range from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.arrow_forwardA boy throws a ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. If air resistance is negligible, how high above the projection point is the ball after 2.0 s?arrow_forward

Assume he can throw with the same initial speed at all angles. How high does he throw the ball when he throws it straight upward?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 86 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 63 ft. Determine the distance h by which the ball clears the top of the cliff and the time t after release for the ball to land at B. Also, calculate the magnitude of the impact velocity vB.
