Chapter 3, Problem 48GP
|| A baseball thrown at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal strikes a building 18.0 m away at a point 8.00 m above the point from which it is thrown. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find the magnitude of the initial velocity of the baseball (the velocity with which the baseball is thrown). (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building.

A place kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0m (about 40 yards) from the goal, and half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.0m/s at an angle of 53o to the horizontal.
a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar?
b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling?
