Concept explainers
A shot putter launches a 7.260 kg shot by pushing it along a straight line of length 1.650 m and at an angle of 34.10° from the horizontal, accelerating the shot to the launch speed from its initial speed of 2.500 m/s (which is due to the athlete’s preliminary motion). The shot leaves the hand at a height of 2.110 m and at an angle of 34.10°, and it lands at a horizontal distance of 15.90 m. What is the magnitude of the athlete’s average force on the shot during the acceleration phase? (Hint: Treat the motion during the acceleration phase as though it were along a ramp at the given angle.)

- A baseball with mass of 0.14 kg is batted into the air. It's initial speed is 38.1 m/s directed at an angle 26 degrees above the horizontal. Of the height of the ball when it was struck by the bat is 35 cm how high off the ground is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?arrow_forwardA projectile is launched off of a 19.6 m high building with an initial velocity of 26.4 m/s at an angle of 33.2 degrees relative to the horizontal. What is the speed of the projectile when it reaches it maximum height?arrow_forwardOur pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?arrow_forward
- The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him to move quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0⁰ the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.32 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is 2.10 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he does.)

If the height of the ball when it was struck by the racket is 35 cm, how high off the ground (in m) is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?arrow_forwardA fox fleeing from a hunter encounters a 0.700 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.15 m/s at an angle of 45.0°, beginning the jump 2.05 m from the fence. By how much does the fox clear the fence? Treat the fox as a particle.arrow_forward
- A trebuchet was a hurling machine built to attack the walls of a castle under siege. A large stone could be hurled against a wall to break apart the wall. The machine was not placed near the wall because then arrows could reach it from the castle wall. Instead, it was positioned so that the stone hit the wall during the second half of its flight. Suppose a stone is launched with a speed of v0=28.0 m/s and at an angle of u0 = 40.0°.What is the speed of the stone if it hits the wall (a) just as it reaches the top of its parabolic path and (b) when it has descended to half that height? (c) As a percentage, how much faster is it moving in part (b) than in part (a)?arrow_forwardA 0.2 kg rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 7.56 m/s at an angle 58° above the horizontal. Due to gravity, the rock strikes the ground at a horizontal distance of 10 m from the base of the building. Assume: The ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. The accelera- tion of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. 58 h 10 m How tall, h, is the building?

- A golfer hits a shot to the green that is elevated 2.80m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 17.6m/s at an angle of 47.0degrees above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.arrow_forwardA projectile is launched from the ground with a velocity of 42 m / s, directed at an angle of 22.1 degrees with the horizontal. what is the maximum height this projectile reachesarrow_forwardA golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 3.30 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 17.0 m/s at an angle of 46.0˚ above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green.
