Chapter 3, Problem 26CQ
In the diagram, two different trajectories are shown for a ball thrown by a center fielder to home plate in a baseball game. Which of the two trajectories (if either), the higher one or the lower one, will result in a longer time for the ball to reach home plate? Explain.

- A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.2 m have been recorded. If a frog jumps 2.2 m and the launch angle is 45, find (a) the frogs launch speed and (b) the time the frog spends in the air. Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA ball is kicked from the ground with an initial velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees. The ball lands back on the ground 47 m away. a) What was the total time the ball was in the air? b) How long does it take the ball to reach the maximum height in the air? c) What was the ball's maximum height in the air?arrow_forwardkate picks up a piece of cake and throws it horizontally from a height of 2.30 m at 3.45 m/s. a) How much time does the rock take to hit the ground? b) What is the vertical speed of the rock as it hits the ground? c) How far does the rock get horizontally? d) What is the rock’s total velocity (magnitude and direction) as it hits the ground?arrow_forward
- A ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 10 m/s at a 50 degree angle with the horizontal. a) Calculate the magnitude of the ball’s velocity just before it hits the ground. b) Suppose a house is in the path of the ball and instead of landing on the ground, it lands on the roof (12m high). How long after the kick will the ball collide with the roof? I’ve found that: Horizontal range= 10.05 m Total flight time of ball= 1.56 s Maximum height= 3 marrow_forwardYou have two stones in your hands, and you are standing on a bridge. You throw the first stone with a velocity of 8.00 m/s upward. One second later, you let drop the second stone. Both stones hit the water below the bridge at the same time. a)For how much time is the first stone in free fall? b)What is the distance from your hand to the water? c) What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the first stone when it hits the water?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true of the time of flight for a projectile? List all that apply. The time that a projectile is in the air is dependent upon the horizontal component of the initial velocity. The time that a projectile is in the air is dependent upon the vertical component of the initial velocity. For a projectile which lands at the same height that it is projected from, the time to rise to the peak is equal to the time to fall from its peak to the original height. For the same upward launch angles, projectiles will stay in the air longer if the initial velocity is increased. Assume that a kicked ball in football is a projectile. If the ball takes 3 seconds to rise to the peak of its trajectory, then it will take 6 seconds to fall from the peak of its trajectory to the ground.arrow_forward
- You throw a baseball straight up in the air so that it rises to a maximum height much greater than your height. Is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration greater while it is being thrown or after it leaves your hand? Explain.arrow_forwardAbram threw his tennis ball upward from the ground at an angle of 50 degrees with respect to the horizontal ground. It left his hand with an initial speed of 40m/sec. What is the time it will take it be before the tennis ball hits the ground?arrow_forwardCan an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up? If so, describe a possible physical situation and a corresponding coordinate system. If not, explain why not.arrow_forward
