Here is my problem:
From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 15.4 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 18.0 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 26.7 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance.
I think I have the correct steps.. but can't seem to get the right answer. I would like someone to walk me through how to solve this.
A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball at a distance 10 m from the goal at an angle of 25°. The ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. What is the initial speed of the soccer ball?
Good morning,
I am stuck on a homework problem. It reads:
"On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.10 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 40.2 m/s at an angle of 32 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?"
I figured out how to find the vector components, but I have no idea what to do next. Thank you in advance for your help!
