Predict/Calculate Referring to Example 4-11 Suppose we change the dolphin’s launch angle to 45.0°, but everything else remains the same. Thus, the horizontal distance to the ball is 5.50 m, the drop height is 4.10 m, and the dolphins launch speed is 12.0 m/s. (a) What is the vertical distance between the dolphin and the ball when the dolphin reaches the horizontal position of the ball? We refer to this as the “miss distance.” (b) If the dolphin’s launch speed is reduced, will the miss distance increase, decrease, or stay the same? (c) Find the miss distance for a launch speed of 10.0 m/s.

- A stone is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 70° to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 24m/s. The height of the building is 32m. a) How high above the initial point is the stone at it highest? b) How long does it take for the stone to hit the ground? c) where does the stone hit the ground? d) calculate the velocity and the direction of the stone at the moment of impact with the ground.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 5.50 m with an initial speed of 25.00 m/s. a.) How long will it take the ball to reach the ground? b.) At what horizontal distance from a point of release will it strike the ground? c.) What will be the magnitude of its velocity when it strikes the ground? d.) At what direction will it strike the ground?arrow_forwardA golfer hits a golfball off a cliff from 8.5 metres above flat ground. The golfball is hit with an initial velocity of 43m/s [33 degrees above the horizontal]. a) Calculate the time of flight of the golfball. b) Calculate the horizontal range of the golfball. c) Calculate the maximum height of the golfball above the ground. d) Calculate the velocity of the golfball at its maximum height.arrow_forward
- A player kicks a ball with an angle o 36° to the horizontal and initial velocity of 15.5 m/s. Assuming the ball is moving in the vertical plane, Calculate: a-) time the ball reaches the highest point b-) maximum height c-) maximum range d-) flight time or time the ball is in the air e-) speed when the ball reaches the groundarrow_forwardA basketball player tosses a basketball with an initial velocity of v at an angle of 35 degrees, and in the position shown below. The basketball then travels the dashed arc and goes into the basket (i.e. hits a point 11 meters away horizontally and 3 meters off the floor vertically). 2 m Vo 35° 11 m 3 m a) What is the magnitude of the initial velocity of the basketball? b) When does the basketball go into the basket? c) How fast is the basketball travelling when it makes the basket? d) What is the maximum acceleration of the basketball during its flight?arrow_forwardAUG-1 An artillery shell is shot with a speed of 300m/s from a mountain top at an angle 0 above the horizontal as shown in the figure to the right. The shell rises to a maximum height 2,000m above its launch point at point 2, then descends to point 3 where it is at its launch height. It continues on to point 4, which is just before it hits the ground where it is 1,500m below its launch point. a) Find the speed of the shell at point 2. b) Find the speed of the shell at point 3. c) Find the speed of the shell at point 4.

Ignore air resistance. (Hint: hang time refers to the time the ball is in the air.) A golf player hits a ball with an initial velocity of 27.0 m/s, but at 60° from the n horizontal. Solve for the a) ball's hang time, b) range, and c) maximum height. 1. 2.arrow_forwardYou are at the edge of the cliff at a height of 50 m. calculate how long it would take for a stone to hit the ground in each of the three cases A) you just drop the stone from rest, B) you throw the stone with a speed of 18.5 m/s in a horizontal direction, C) you throw the stone with the same initial speed, but an angle of 30° above the horizontal. D) Also calculate how far from the foot of the cliff the stone lands in each case described above ( i.e. the horizontal range in each case.)arrow_forwardA ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 5.50m with an initial speed of 25.0m/s.A) How long will it take the ball to reach the ground?

One rock is thrown with a speed of 10 m/s and the other is thrown with a speed of 20 m/s a) How much time does it take each rock to hit the ground? b) How far from the base of the cliff does each rock land? c) What is the horizontal and vertical speed of each rock when it hits the ground?arrow_forwardExample: Let us throw a rock an upward angle of 30 degrees (30°) of the horizontal from the very edge of our favorite 100 m cliff and with an initial velocity of 8.5 m/s. 2 Range = ? Again, we will ask, how long before the rock hits the ground?
