carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal velocity of 7.2 m/s. a. What is the final vertical velocity of the ball? b. How long does it take to reach the ground? *
A stuntman tries to jump from a ledge over an 8 m gap onto a mattress that is 3 m below the current position. To do so, the stuntman runs to the edge of the ledge at a constant speed and leaps off in the horizontal direction with this speed. Describe your strategy to find the minimum speed with which the stuntman needs to run to land on the mattress
Group of answer choices
a) Find t from the vertical position equation. With this t, solve horizontal position equation to obtain v_initial
b) Find t from the vertical velocity equation. With this t, solve horizontal position equation to obtain v_initial.
c) Find t from the vertical velocity equation. With this t, solve horizontal velocity equation to obtain v_initial.
d) Find t from the vertical position equation. With this t, solve horizontal velocity equation to obtain v_initial
* The lob in tennis is an eff ective tactic when your opponent isnear the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him tomove quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that youlob the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.08 abovethe horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from theball. He begins moving away from you 0.30 s later, hoping to reach
