Question
Suppose you are carrying a ball and running at constant speed, and wish to throw the ball and catch it as it comes back down. Neglecting air resistance, should you (a) throw the ball at an angle of about 45 above the horizontal and maintain the same speed, (b) throw the ball straight up in the air and slow down to catch it, or (c) throw the ball straight up in the air and maintain the same speed? 3.7 As a projectile moves in its parabolic path, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other (a) everywhere along the projectile's path, (b) at the peak of its path, (e) nowhere along its path, or (d) not enough information is given.

Where does the projectile hit the ground and with what speed? Solution If we place the origin at ground level, then the initial position of the projectile is (0, 10) and so we need to adjust the parametric equations of the trajectory by adding 10 to the expression for y. With v0 = 150 m/s, ? = 45°, and g = 9.8 m/s2, we have x = 150 cos ? 4 t = y = 10 + 150 sin ? 4 t − 1 2 (9.8)t2 = . Impact occurs when y = 0, that is 4.9t2 − 75 2 t − 10 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation (and using only the positive value of t), we get the following. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) t = 75 2 + 11,250 + 196 9.8 ≈ Then x ≈ 75 2 (21.74) ≈ (rounded to the nearest whole number), so the projectile hits the ground about…arrow_forwardA cart is moving with a constant horizontal velocity of 5.00 m/s.

Asyour clan’s engineer, it is up to you to calculate the correct distance from the wall to fire your catapult. Youknow that the projectile will be launched from the catapult 8.2 m above the ground at a velocity of 40 m/s atan angle of 46◦ above the horizontal, and you want to hit the castle wall 3.0 m above the ground, where theprojectile will do the most damage. How far from the wall should your catapult be positioned?arrow_forwardTwo golf balls are hit from the same point on a flat field. Both are hit at an angle of 45° above the horizontal.
