For a forensics experiment, a student decides to measure the muzzle velocity of the
pellets from his BB gun. She points the gun horizontally. On a vertical wall a
distance 47.3 m away from the gun, a target is placed. The shots hit the target a
vertical distance 0.10 m below the gun's barrel. What is the initial speed of the
pellets?

Using her driver, she hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 250 ft/sec at an angle of 11.5 with the ground. After the ball hits the ground, it rolls for another 63 feet. While the ball is in air, it can be modeled with the parametric equations: z(t) = v, cos (e) t, y(t) = - 16t² + sin(e) t with z(t) as the horizontal position of the ball after tseconds y(t) as the vertical position of the ball after tseconds to as the initial velocity 8 as the initial launch angle A. How long is the ball in the air before it first hits the ground? B. How far does the ball travel, including after it rolls to a stop? Use mathematics to justify your answers.

Assume the ball is 0.24m in diameter. The ball was released at a height of 2.5m, and shot with an initial angle of 45o above the horizontal, what is the range speeds that the ball must leave the player’s hands to make the basket without the ball hitting the rim? Over that range of trajectories, how long is the ball in the air for that shot?arrow_forwardSome cats can be trained to jump from one location to another and perform other tricks.

Stone walls were no match for balls shot from cannons. Suppose a cannonball of mass 5.00 kg is launched from a height of 1.10 m, at an angle of elevation of 30.0° with an initial velocity of 50.1 m/s, toward a castle wall of height 30.0 m and located 212 m away from the cannon. The range of a projectile is defined as the horizontal distance traveled when the projectile returns to its original height. What will be the range reached by the projectile if it is not intercepted by the wall? m If the cannonball travels far enough to hit the wall, find the height at which it strikes. marrow_forwardWhen the red kangaroo of Australia is moving at full speed, it can bounce at a speed of 8.50 meters per second, at an angle of 45.0o above horizontal.
