CP CALC A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the root of a 30.0-m-tall building. The rocket’s engine produces a horizontal acceleration of (1.60 m/s3)t, in the same direction as the initial velocity, but in the vertical direction the acceleration is g. downward. Ignore air resistance. What horizontal distance does the rocket travel before reaching the ground?

- A dog jumps in a horizontal direction with an initial speed of vo=3.2 m/s from the edge of a table and lands L=2.3 m away from the table. a.hold long does it take the dog to hit the ground? (3 sig fig) b.what is the height in meters of the table? (3 sig fig)arrow_forwardA rock is thrown off a vertical cliff at an angle of 65 degrees above horizontal. The cliff is 67.2 m high and the ground extends horizontally from the base. The initial speed of the rock is 24.4 m/s. Neglect air resistance. a) How high above the ground, in meters, is the rock 2.03 s before it hits the ground? b) How far horizontally from the cliff, in meters, is the rock 2.03 s before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardA toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. The rocket's engine produces a horizontal acceleration of 11.60 m/s2, in the same direction as the initial velocity, but in the vertical direction the acceleration is g. downward. Air resistance can be neglected. What horizontal distance does the rocket travel before reaching the ground?arrow_forward
- A golf ball leaves the ground with an initial velocity vo = voxî + vovĵ. The ball hits a vertical wall which is located a horizontal distance b from the point of projection. When the ball strikes the wall, it is at a height h above the ground and it is moving horizontally. Which of the following choices correctly relates the ratio h/b to the components (vox , Voy) of the initial velocity. FL Vo harrow_forwardHank Huckleberry, who is the quarterback for the Kennesaw Kilowatts in the Metro Metric Football League, where all distances in the field are measured in meters. Hank throws the ball with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle which is 35 degrees up from north. He releases the ball from a height of 1.6 m above the field. How far north does the ball travels before it lands on the field?arrow_forwardTask IV:In a baseball game, the ball hits the top of a wall that is 22 m high and located at 130m away from the thrower, if theball is hit at an angle 35to the horizontal, assume that the ball is hit at a height of 2 m above the ground. Find :a. The initial speed of the ballb. The time it takes the ball to reach the wallc. The velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reached the wallarrow_forward
- A basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) a, What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.650 meters above the floor??m/s b, How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket??marrow_forwardYou throw a ball from the balcony onto the court in the basketball arena. You release the ball at a height of 8.00 m above the court, with a initial velocity equal to 8.70 m/s at 35.0∘ above the horizontal. A friend of yours, standing on the court 11.0 m from the point directly beneath you, waits for a period of time after you release the ball and then begins to move directly away from you at an acceleration of 1.60 m/s2. (She can only do this for a short period of time!) If you throw the ball in a line with her, how much time ? wait after you release the ball should she wait to start running directly away from you so that she’ll catch the ball exactly 1.00 m above the floor of the court? t-wait=arrow_forwardHanamichi Sakuragi has a height of 190 cm. He is about to make a shot in the 3-point line which is 7.5 m away from the basketball ring. If he shoots the ball without jumping and with his hand is 50 cm above his head and the angle of his shot is 45° from the horizontal. (Assume that the height of the ring is 3.05 m from the floor.) a. What must be the shot's velocity in m s- to make a 3-point shot? b. If Captain Akagi is 1.5 m away from the basketball ring and he has a standing reach of 260 cm. What must be the elevation of his vertical jump to block Sakuragi's three pointer shot?arrow_forward
- A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from thesurface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accelerationof the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the+y-direction is upward. What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s?arrow_forwardA projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s @ 30.0° from ground level. What is the displacement of the object in the x-direction upon returning to the ground? A projectile is launched off of a cliff, 20.0 m above ground level. If the initial velocity is 15.0 m/s i (there is no initial y-component), how long is it in the air for?arrow_forwardCuban tree frogs are skilled jumpers. They can launch themselves at 4.5 meters per second at an angle of 26o above horizontal. Assuming the frog is jumping on level ground, what is the maximum height above the ground that the frog will achieve? 0.95 m 1.2 m 0.20 m 0.61 marrow_forward
