During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2 km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range. a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range? b) How long was the ball in the air? c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?
In Dover, Delaware, a post-Halloween traditionis “Punkin Chunkin,” in which contestants build cannons, catapults, trebuchets, and other devices to launch pumpkins and compete for the greatest distance. Though hard to believe, pumpkinshave been projected a distance of 4694 feet in this contest. What isthe minimum initial speed needed for such a shot?
A 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...
Vi Vf a d t 2. A circus cannon fires a clown at an angle of 35° with an initial velocity of 25 m/s. (a) To what maximum height did he reach and (b) how far will he travel if he lands at the same height from which he was launched? (the other clowns need to know where to put the crash pad) X Y
A golf ball rolls off a horizontal cliff with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. The ball falls a vertical distance of 16.5 m into a lake below. (a)How much time does the ball spend in the air? (b) What is the speed v of the ball just before it strikes the water?
a catapult launches a test rocket upward from well giving it a speed of 50 m/s at ground level. the engines then fire so that the rocket accelerated at 5 m/s^2 until it reaches an altitude of 750 m at which point it gos into free fall. what is the maximum altitde of the rocket?
A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.20 m have been recorded. If a frog jumps 2.20 m and the launch angle is 57.0°, find the frog's launch speed and the time the frog spends in the air. Ignore air resistance.
An athlete in a long jump trial leaves the ground at an 80o angle and covers a horizontal distance of 8.7 m. The speed with which he can jump remains constant. What should he do to increase the horizontal distance of his jump? Explain why this would work.
A diver jumps off a cliff of height h at an angle 0 = 58° (see figure). He reaches a maximum height of hmax= 21 m above the top of the cliff before falling to the water below. He hits the water X=215 m from the base of the cliff. Determine the speed of the diver just before he hits the water, VĄ. Take g=10m/s<. Round your answer to one decimal place. y Jhmax h
If a human jumping can be treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range obtainable by a person if he has a take-off speed of 9.55 m/s? Assume negligible air resistance and the person begins and ends their jump at ground height.
A basketball player standing under the hoop fires the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v0=4.5 m/s from 2.5 m above the ground. Part a) What is the maximum height, h(in meters), above the launch point the basketball will achieve? Part b) On his first attempt, the ball doesn't make it high enough to reach the hoop. If the hoop is at 3.5 m above the ground, what is the minimum velocity (in m/s) with which he mush launch his second attempt to reach the hoop?
An item with beginning speed vo is projected from the edge of the roof of a structure of height H. The object's initial velocity produces an angle a0 with the horizontal. Don't think about air resistance. What is the speed of the item shortly before it hits the ground if a0 = -90 and the object is thrown straight down?
