|| 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 33.0° 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, and (c) the horizontal distance from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.

- (a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 31 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.67 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 273.73 X You appear to have correctly calculated the distance the rock travels, but you have then used the wrong time to calculate the horizontal speed. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.67 s after kicking the rock? m/sarrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 68 ft/sec from the base A of a cliff with H = 36 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.

Figure 4-22 shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle Oo = 60.0° to the horizontal, from the vent at A in order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 2.60 km and horizontal distance d = 9.40 km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of flight?

- A football player punts the ball at a 42.0° angle. Without an effect from the wind, the ball would travel 57.0 m horizontally. (a) What is the initial speed of the ball? m/s (b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 1.50 m/s. What distance does the ball travel horizontally? marrow_forwardProblem 12: Mt. Asama, Japan, is an active volcano complex. In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed far from the crater. Suppose that one such rock was launched at an angle of 0 = 52.3 degrees above horizontal, and landed a horizontal distance d = 850 m from the crater, and a vertical distance h = 620 m below the crater.

The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane?
