Concept explainers
A rookie quarterback throws a football with an initial upward velocity component of 12.0 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 20.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance, (a) How much time is required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory? (b) How high is this point? (c) How much time (after it is thrown) is required for the football to return to its original level? How does this compare with the time calculated in part (a)? (d) How far has the football traveled horizontally during this time? (e) Draw .x-t, y-t, vx-t, and vy-t graphs for the motion.

- A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.arrow_forwardSuppose I throw a rock horizontally with an initial speed of 30 m/s. Suppose my release point is 2 m above the ground. (a) How long does it take for the rock to hit the ground? (b) How far in the horizontal direction does the rock travel? (c) What is the speed of the rock right before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardA boy throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stop watch measures the stone's trajectory time from the top of the cliff to the bottom to be 5.0 s. (a) What is the height of the cliff? (b) How far does the stone travel horizontally? (c) What is the total acceleration of the stone while it is in the air?arrow_forward

(e) What is the velocity of the football at t=1 s?arrow_forwardthe leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?arrow_forwardYou’re at the top of a mountain, which slopes down at a 45 degree angle below the horizontal. You throw a pebble horizontally from the top of the slope, with an initial speed of 10 m/s. How much time does the pebble spend in free-fall before hitting the sloping ground? (Round to the nearest integer number of seconds.)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_forwardA rookie quarterback throws a football with an initial upward velocity component of 17.0 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 21.5 m/s. Ignore air resistance. (a) How much time is required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory? (b) How high is this point? (c) How much time (after it is thrown) is required for the football to return to its original level (ground)? How does this compare with the time calculated in part (a)? (d) How far has the football traveled horizontally during this time?arrow_forwardA child throws a snowball straight toward a tree with a horizontal velocity of 18 m/s. The tree is 9.0 m away and the snowball starts from a height of 1.5 m above the ground. (a) How long will the snowball take to reach the tree? (c) What is the snowball's velocity as it hits the tree? Type your answer here (b) At what height above the ground will the snowball hit the tree? Type your answer here below the horizontal S Type your answer here m/s m Type your answer here Oarrow_forward
- A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of (3m/s)i+(2 m/s)j. Neglect air resistance.(a) What is its velocity at the top of its trajectory? (b) What is its acceleration at the top of its trajectory? Be certain that each of your answers is in the form of a vector.arrow_forwardA child in Yellowstone National Park kicked a rock off a bridge down into a river below. The bridge had a height of 405 meters above the river. If the child kicked the rock with an initial velocity of 2.1 m/s, What was the amount of time required for the rock to hit the river below? How far horizontally from the bridge did the rock travel?arrow_forwardAn object is thrown off the top of a 42 m tall building with a velocity of 475 m/s at an angle of 10.4° with respect to the horizontal. (a) How long is the object in the air in seconds?
