What is the initial speed of the ball in (B)?
The scopeContext
A child's toy module rolls a marble through a pipe and then launches it into the air. An exasperated dad looking for the lost marbles all over the house asks you for help in calculating where the marble will fall and the size of the basket he should place there to be sure to catch the ball.
Constraints
The muzzle velocity and angle of fire depend on the construction the children make;The ball is fired from the ground and will land at ground level;The thickness of the basket itself is neglected.We use a value of g=(9.81±0.01)m/s^2.
Modelization
Creates a model to calculate the distance from where the ball is shot to where the center of the basket would need to be to catch it, based on the speed and angle of the shot, and the uncertainty of these two parameters.
HINT for uncertainty: when the equation contains increasing and decreasing functions (such as sine and cosine, for example), it is necessary to proceed by trial and error to find the maximum and the minimum. A…
A skier starts at the top of a very large, frictionless snowball, with a very small initial speed, and skis straight down the side (Fig. ). At what point does she lose contact with the snowball and fly off at a tangent? That is, at the instant she loses contact with the snowball, what angle a does a radial line from the center of the snowball to the skier make with the vertical?

- The earliest drop towers were used for the purpose of making lead shots for muskets. The procedure involved releasing droplets of molten lead from the top of the tower. As the droplets of lead fell through the tower, they formed a spherical droplet. If given enough free fall time, the droplet of molten lead would solidify to form the perfect spherical shot. The tallest of these drop towers in the United States was a 230-foot tower built in Baltimore. Suppose that lead free falls through a drop tower for a distance of 63.9 meters a) Determine how much time (in seconds) it takes the lead shot to fall this distance of 63.9 meters. b) Determine how fast (in m/s) the lead shot is moving after free falling for 63.9 meters, right before hitting the groundarrow_forwardYou throw a ball off a desk with a constant velocity of 5 m/s.
