- A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 35 to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the initial speed of the ball, (b) the time it takes the ball to reach the wall, and (c) the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall. (Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)arrow_forwardAn archer shoots an arrow horizontally and his friend drops a marble from the same height when the arrow is released. In the absence of air resistance, which of the following happens? Question 17 options: The arrow hits the ground first. The marble hits the ground first. Both hit the ground at the same time. You cannot tell from the information given.arrow_forwardIf there is a person on a cliff that is 200m above the beach and launches a ball from a cannon at 45 degrees to a person, how far is that person from the base of the cliff? The velocity of the muzzle is 50m/s and friction can be ignored.arrow_forward
- If two missiles are fired with two different angled missile-launchers from the same position.Could it be possible to shot the same target? Give reason.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_forwardIf air resistance can be neglected, what happens to the horizontal velocity of a basketball as it is thrown to the basket from the free-throw line? answer choices stays constant decreases decreases while the ball is going up, and then increases while the ball is coming down increases while the ball is going up, and then decreases while the ball is coming down increasesarrow_forward
- Messi is keeping his free-kick skills sharp this quarantine by playing football with his neighbour's monkey.From the roof of his house, which is 7 meters above the ground, he kicks a ball horizontally towards his neighbour'shouse, which is 6 meters away and also has a roof that is 7m above the ground. At the same instance, his neighbour'spet monkey drops off the ledge of his roof to try to catch the ball. Please ignore air resistance, and take g=9.81m/s2 If Messi kicks the ball with the minimum required speed; at what time (in seconds) after the kick is the monkey able to catch the ball?The minimum speed (in m/s) is 5.023.arrow_forwardA 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 student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed vo. At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally from the same balcony with an initial speed vo/2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the following statements must be true? [There may be more than one correct answer.] Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impact. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component While each ball is in the air, the red ball has the greater magnitude of acceleration. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed. | The balls reach the ground at the same instant.arrow_forward
- Do projectiles for which air resistance is nonnegligible, such as abullet fired from a rifle, have maximum range when the launchangle is greater than, less than, or equal to 45°? Explain.arrow_forwardA lifeguard stands on top of a watch tower at the beach and purposely throws a stone horizontally with a speed of vi=18.0 m/s. The height of the tower is 50.0 m above the ground. (I)With what angle of impact does the stone land? (ii) How long after being released does the stone strike ground? (iii) With what speed does the stone land?arrow_forwardA person launches a rock with an initial speed of 200 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. What is the speed of the rock when it reaches its maximum height? Give your answer to 2 significant figures.arrow_forward
