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

- A 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_forwardA 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_forward
- A 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_forwardAn object is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 25° upward with the horizontal. (with solutions each)a) What is the maximum height reached by the object?b) What is the total flight time (between launch and touching the ground) of the object?c) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object? d.) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground?arrow_forward
- A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 89 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 56 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. Neglect air resistance and the small horizontal motion of the ball.arrow_forwardThe maximum horizontal distance a boy can throw a ball is 50 m. 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_forwardProblem 2: A ball is thrown into the air at an angle of 60° above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 40m/s from a 50-m-high building. Find (a) The time to reach the top of its path. (b) The maximum height the ball is reached from the base of the building.arrow_forward
