Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of 50.0, giving the ball an initial speed of 38.2 m/s (Fig. P4.60). The ball lands on the elevated green, 5.50 m above the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. a. How much time passed while the ball was in the air? b. How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing? c. What was the peak height reached by the ball? FIGURE P4.60
During a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal, then how much time will the ball spend airborne before hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point particles in this problem.
You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?
A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a golf ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the golf ball with a velocity of 20.5 m/s at an angle of 40.5° above the horizontal. When the golf ball leaves her hand, it is 18.5 m above the water. How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. horizontal distance: m
A Chinook salmon can jump out of water with a speed of 7.30 m/s . How far horizontally ? can a Chinook salmon travel through the air if it leaves the water with an initial angle of ?=30.0° with respect to the horizontal? (Let the horizontal direction the fish travels be in the +? direction, and let the upward vertical direction be the +? direction. Neglect any effects due to air resistance.)
When throwing a ball, your hand releases it at a height of 1.5 m above the ground with velocity 6.8 m/s in direction 57° above the horizontal. (a) How high above the ground (not your hand) does the ball go?(b) At the highest point, how far is the ball horizontally from the point of release?
A cannon ball is fired at a wall that is 300 m away on level ground. The initial velocity of the cannon is 89 m/s, 40° above the horizontal. Don't assume the ball hits the wall at maximum height! What is the y-component of the ball's velocity when the ball hits the wall? h V; = 89 m/s 40° 300 m O 89.0 m/s O 9.81 m/s O 7.60 m/s O 18.2 m/s O 14.1 m/s O 2.99 m/s
