| A tennis player hits a ball at ground level, giving it an initial velocity of 24 m/s at 57° above the horizontal. (a) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s initial velocity? (b) How high above the ground does the ball go? (c) How long does it take the ball to reach its maximum height? (d) What are the ball s velocity and acceleration at its highest point? (e) For how long a time is the ball in the air? (f) When this ball lands on the court, how far is it from the place where it was hit?

- A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 17.0° to the horizontal and at a speed of 10.9 m/s. (a) How long does it take for her to reach maximum height? s(b) What is the maximum height? m(c) How far does she jump? (Assume that her motion is equivalent to that of a particle, disregarding the motion of her arms and legs.) marrow_forwardA grasshopper jumps a horizontal distance of 1.10 m from rest, with an initial velocity at a 46.0° angle with respect to the horizontal. (a) Find the initial speed of the grasshopper. m/s(b) Find the maximum height reached. marrow_forwardA Tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground at an angle 5º above the horizontal. The horizontal distance to the net is 7.0 m and the net is 1.0m high. What is the minimum initial speed, vi, needed to clear the net? (Hint: this is like the problem done in the handout, but since we don’t know the initial speed, we have to find horizontal and vertical components and the time symbolically and carry that through.) Im so confused and don't know where to start...arrow_forward
- A ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 17.0 m/s in the horizontal direction and 14.0 m/s in the vertical direction. (Assume the ball is kicked from the ground.) a) at what speed (in m/s) does the ball hit the ground ? b) for how long (in s) does the ball remain the air ? c) what maximum height (in m) is attained by the ball?arrow_forwardA projectile is fired from a gun and has an initial vertical velocity equal to 30 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height? Its magnitude is 9.8 m/s2 and; its direction is changing. 9.8 m/s?, downward O m/s2 less than 9.8 m/s-but non-zero. 4.9 mm/s?, downwardarrow_forwardThe cliff divers of Acapulco push off horizontally from rock platforms about hhh = 31 mm above the water, but they must clear rocky outcrops at water level that extend out into the water LLL = 5.2 mm from the base of the cliff directly under their launch point (Figure 1). What minimum pushoff speed is necessary to clear the rocks? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. How long are they in the air?

- th During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. Figure 4-22 shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle Oo = 60.0° to the horizontal, from the vent at A in order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 2.60 km and horizontal distance d = 9.40 km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of flight?

If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.67 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 273.73 X You appear to have correctly calculated the distance the rock travels, but you have then used the wrong time to calculate the horizontal speed. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.67 s after kicking the rock? m/sarrow_forward12 a) A boy kicks a rock off a cliff with a speed of 18.3 m/s at an angle of 57.8° above the horizontal.

- An object is launched at a velocity of 17.5m/ s in a direction making an angle of 23.5° upward with the horizontal. a) What is the maximum height reached by the object? b) What is the total flight time (between launch and touching the ground) of the object? c) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object?arrow_forwardCuban tree frogs are skilled jumpers. They can launch themselves at 4.5 meters per second at an angle of 26o above horizontal. Assuming the frog is jumping on level ground, what is the maximum height above the ground that the frog will achieve? 0.95 m 1.2 m 0.20 m 0.61 marrow_forwardThe maximum horizontal distance a boy can throw a ball is 50 m.
