According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy “Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor league game. The ball travelled 188m before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. Assuming the ball's initial velocity was in a direction 45° above the horizontal, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 0.9m above ground level? Ignore air resistance.

Problem 38. The distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate is 18.4 m. The mound is 0.2 m above the level of the field. A pitcher throws a fastball with an initial speed of 35 m/s. At the moment the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, it is 2.2 m above the mound. What should be the angle between the ball's initial velocity and the horizontal if the ball is to cross the plate a height of 1 m above the ground? (Neglect air resistance.)
A soccer player decides that he can make this goal to win the game so he kicks the ball with a speed of 8.5 m/s at an angle of 25.0° above the horizontal. How long was the ball in the air, assuming that the ball lands on the same level it was kicked.
A particle moves through 3-space in such a way that its acceleration is a(t)= 8sin 2ri +8cos 2tj+e'k . where t is time measured in seconds. The initial velocity of the particle is v, = 2i – 3j+k. At time t = t , find i) the velocity vector of the particle. ii) the scalar tangential and normal components of acceleration.
1. A player lines up to kick a 40 m goal. In the first attempt, the ball has an initial velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 55.0 degrees. The goal posts are 3 m high. Ônce the ball passes above the field goal post (i.e., after it has travelled 40 m in the horizontal direction), it is deemed successful. (a) Determine if the goal kicker's first attempt is successful. (b) If the kicker changes the angle of kicking to 30 degrees and the initial velocity so that it JUST reaches the goal post. Determine the new initial velocity of ball.
A student standing on a cliff throws a pebble from a vertical height of d = 8.0 m above the level ground with velocity vo = 19 m/s at an angle = 23° below the horizontal, as shown. It moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the nebble.
