- In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. 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? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA firework shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at anangle of 80.0° above the horizontal. The fuse will ignite the shell just as itreaches its highest point above the ground.(a) How much time passes between the launch of the shell andthe explosion?(b) Calculate the height at which the shell explodes.(c) What is the horizontal displacement of the shell when itexplodes?arrow_forwardA firework shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal.

- A golfer hits a ball with an initial velocity of 41.7m/s and is launched at an angle of 36° above the ground. The ball reaches a maximum vertical height at point P above the upper fairway. Point P is 19.6m above the upper fairway as shown. The ball hits the ground at point Q. Determine a) The velocity of the golf ball after 4.32s b) The range of the golf ball at point Q c) Assume after hitting the ground at point Q, the golf ball begins rolling at 20.0m/s [along the ground] Will it reach hole 200.0 m away from the initial launch spot if it is slowing down at a rate of 3.50m/s²? NOTE: if you didn't get an answer for part B, assume the range at Q is 175m 41.7m/s bank 36° 0 lower fairway 19-6 m upper fairway Q 200.0marrow_forwardA 0.95 kg rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 12.8 m/s at an angle 55° above the horizontal. Due to gravity, the rock strikes the ground at a horizontal distance of 19.2 m from the base of the building. Building 12.8 m/s 55° h 19.2 m How tall is the building? Assume the ground is level and that the side of the build- ing is vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². Answer in units of m.arrow_forwardFluid Mechanics: The English perfected the longbow as a weapon after the Medieval period. In the hands of a skilled archer, the longbow was reputed to be accurate at ranges to 100 m or more. If the maximum altitude of an arrow is less than h = 10 m while traveling to a target 100 m away from the archer, and neglecting air resistance, estimate the speed and angle at which the arrow must leave the bow. Plot the required release speed and angle as a function of height harrow_forward
- The highest barrier that a projectile can clear is 12.3 m, when the projectile is launched at an angle of 16.4° above the horizontal. What is the projectile's launch speed?arrow_forward1) A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of θ = 51.5°,giving the ball an initial speed of v0 = 38.3 m/s The ball lands on the elevated green, yf = 5.9 mabove the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. (a) How much time passed while the ball was in the air? (b) How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing?m (c) What was the peak height reached by the ball?m 2)A ball starts from rest at the left end of the track shown in the figure below. The ball flies off the right end of the track and follows the parabolic trajectory shown. Suppose the right end of the track is 1.2 mabove the floor and makes an angle of 35.0°with the horizontal. Also suppose the ball leaves the track with a speed of 3.8 m/s.Determine where the ball hits the floor.m=arrow_forwardFor all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible, unless stated otherwise in the question. A ball is launched from ground level at an angle of 60˚ and with a speed of 15 m/s. a)What is the maximum height the ball will reach? b)How far horizontally will the ball travel before returning to ground level?arrow_forward
- A volleyball is served at a speed of 13.2 m/s with the player's hand making contact with the ball 2.20 meters above the ground. The ball comes off the hand at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. The net is 10 meters away from where the server strikes the ball and the top of the net is at a height of 2.43 meters above the ground. Will the ball clear the net? By how much does it clear it/miss clearing it? Where does ball reach max height? The back line of the court on the receiving side is 19 meters away from where the server strikes the ball. Does the ball land in bounds? If it does, where does it land?arrow_forwardA projectile launcher is clamped to a bench with the muzzle 0.85 m from the floor. It launches a small ball at an angle of 35° with a velocity of 15.5 m/s. The ball travels freely until it eventually hits the floor, assuming no air resistance or draughts calculate the following: a) The time it takes to reach its maximum height. b) The maximum height of the ball above the floor. c) The total time the ball spent in the air d) The total distance travelled horizontally by the ball from the end of the muzzle to its first impact with the floor.arrow_forwardWhen a projectile is fired with a velocity of 815 m/s at angle of 37 degrees above the horizontal, the maximum height reached by the projectile is about?arrow_forward
