- Consider a projectile on Earth, where +z is vertically upward. A cannon that is 1.50 m tall sits on the edge of a 50.0 m tall cliff oriented to fire in the +x direction. The cannon fires a 6.50 kg cannonball with an initial velocity of 110 m/s at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. a) Write the acceleration of the cannon ball as a function of time as a column vector. b. write the canon ball's velocity as a function of time as a column vector c. write the canon ball's position as a function of time as a column vector d. how long does it take the canon ball to reach the highest point in it's trajectory e. what is the peak height the cannon ball attains pls provide answers in handwritten mannerarrow_forwardGeorgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut. Set your origin at point A. Neglect air resistance.arrow_forwardDr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.arrow_forward
- H = 0 d= 10 cm red Vo 45° 45° Voluearrow_forwardTwo friends are playing billiards at an arcade center. One guy hit the cue ball to strike at another ball where it is initially at rest. After the collision caused by the ball that was at rest, the cue ball moves at 2.50 m/s along a line making an angle e=14.0° with its original direction of motion and the second balI has a speed of 1.50 m/s. Find the answer for Part a,b and c. (Note: Both balls have the same mass.) Part A: Find the angle 0 between the direction of the motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion of the cue ball. Part B: Find the cue ball's original speed? Part C: Figure out whether kinetic energy is conserved?arrow_forwardLet us consider the fall of a pole vaulter as a projectile once he releases the pole. The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees. Enter the horizontal distance that the athlete will travel with the indicated conditions, add the units in the resultarrow_forward
- A 0.50 kg football is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 13.0 m/s [F 37° U] (37° above the horizontal axis). It is caught at a height of 2.0 m. If you assume that there is no interference and that the ball is on the way back down after having reached maximum height, how far will the ball travel horizontally before it is caught? 1.arrow_forwardWhen the red kangaroo of Australia is moving at full speed, it can bounce at a speed of 8.5 meters per second, at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal. Assuming the kangaroo is bouncing on level ground, what is the kangaroo’s hang time in the air during a single bounce?arrow_forwardThe vector position of a 3.50-g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r rightarrow = (3i^ + 3j^ )t + 2j^ t2,where t is in seconds and r rightarrow is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.50-g particle varies asr2 rightarrow = 3i^ - 2i^t2 - 6j^ t. At t = 2.50 s, determine (a) the vector position of the center of mass, (b) the linear momentum of the system, (c) the velocity of the center of mass,(d) the acceleration of the center of mass, and (e) the net force exerted on the two-particle system.arrow_forward
- A hockey puck with mass 0.160kg is at rest at the origin on the horizontal, frictionless surfaceof the rink. At t = 0, a player applies a force of 0.250N to the puck parallel to the surface. Hecontinues to apply the force until t = 2.00s. What are the position and speed of the puck at t =2.00?arrow_forwardAn electronic is projected as shown in the figure with an initial speed of Vo = 5.83x106 m / s and at an angle of θ = 39.0, E = 1870 N / C (directed upwards), d = 1.97 cm and L = 6.20 cm. A) Does the upper or lower plate hit? Hint: determine the maximum height it reaches, if it is> d, it hits the upper one, if it is <d, it hits the lower one b) At what horizontal distance from the launch point does it hit the plate?arrow_forwardA projectile is launched on a horizontal plane with a speed of 30 m/s and an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The projectile explodes 1.5 seconds after launch, splitting into 2 parts. The first part, with 1/3 of the total mass, lands exactly at the origin of the launch. How far from the launch point will the second part fall?arrow_forward
