In tennis, one of the primary ways to win a point is by
making the ball bounce twice on your opponent's side of
the court. A tennis player hits a ball at a velocity of 50
m/s at a 0 degree angle from 1m high. When the ball
bounces it reflects its velocity angle perfectly and loses
30% of its speed.
How long does the other player have to return the ball
before the second bounce?
9)
While a vehicle is traveling with a velocity of v=8 (m/s), a stone is thrown over it with a velocity
vo=10 (m/s). Since a person standing on the ground sees the stone moving vertically upwards, what is the
angle 0 of the stone's shooting angle with the car surface? g 10 (m/s²)
A rifle that shoots bullets at 460 m/s is to be aimed at a target 45.7 m away. If the center of the target is level with the rifle, how high above the target must the rifle barrel be pointed so that the bullet hits deadcenter?
