if a person can jump a maximum horizontal distance ( by using a 45 degrees projection angle) of 3.66 m on earth, what would be his maximum range on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is g/6 and g = 9.80 m m/s^2? (a) give the answers in meters.. (b) repeat for mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 g.
During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the
Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones
at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2
km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in
the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range.
a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range?
b) How long was the ball in the air?
c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?
An 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?
(b) What is the maximum height the object reaches above the ground in meters?
c) What is the horizontal distance the object covers in meters?
