A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 68 cm/s. It strikes the floor in 0.250 s. Ignore air resistance. Find, a.) the height of tabletop above the floor. b.) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor. c.) the horizontal and vertical components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor.
In a circus, a “human cannonball” is launched from a cannon and lands in a net. The cannon releases him at the same height as the net. His initial velocity is 18.3 m/s in a direction 40.0° above the horizontal. a) For how much time will he be in the air? b) How far does he travel horizontally? c) What is the velocity upon impact? The circus manager from the previous question wants to make the stunt more dramatic by firing the stuntman through a hoop 9.0 m high then land in a safety net at the same height as the cannon. The cannon’s angle is changed to 45.0° and the velocity is increased to   21.0 m/s. The manager needs to know where to place the hoop and safety net. a) How far from the cannon should the safety net be placed? b) What is the time required to reach the height of the hoop? c) How far from the cannon should the hoop be placed?
1.) A ball is thrown horizontally from a 10 m -high building with a speed of 6.0 m/s . How far from the base of the building does the ball hit the ground? 2.) If Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30∘∘ below the horizontal with a speed of 14m/sm/s, how far from the base of the dorm should Allison stand to catch the ball? Assume the vertical distance between where Emily releases the ball and Allison catches it is 6.0mm.
