A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? one-sixth as large It is the same. It is √6 times larger. It is 6 times larger. It is 36 times larger.

Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
Figure OQ3.3 shows a birds-eye view of a car going around a highway curve. As the car moves from point 1 to point 2, its speed doubles. Which of the vectors (a) through (e) shows the direction of the cars average acceleration between these two points?
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?
If a ping pong ball launcher is at a 45 degree angle and the ping pong ball is travels 1.2 meters in distance. What would the height the ball reaches? And how long does it take the ping pong ball to touch the ground?
A sniper atop a building 150m high fired a bullet parallel to the horizontal with a speed of 1800km/h. Assuming that the bullet will hit its target, what would be the resulting range?
A cannonball is fired off a cliff at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 80 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 50 m/s. (a) What is the range of the rock? (b) When the cannonball hits the ground what is the magnitude of its total velocity?
A ball is launched horizontally from the top of a 100 m tall building and lands 150 m (horizontal distance) from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (a) How long in seconds is the ball in the air? (b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity in m/s? (c) What is the vertical component of the velocity in m/s just before the ball hits the ground? (d) What is the speed or magnitude of the resultant velocity (including both the horizontal and vertical components) in m/s of the ball just before it hits the ground?
The horizontal distance traveled by a ball moving with initial velocity v0 is ? = ?0,xt where v0,x is the x-component of v0. If a projectile is fired horizontally, v0,x = v0. A student measures a height of 1.27m for the gun when it is positioned horizontally. Calculate the time it will take for the ball to hit the ground when launched.
A) A ball is thrown horizontally of a cliff. If the initial speed of the ball is (15.0+A) m/s and the cliff is (25.0+B) m high, how far from the base of the cliff will the ball land in the water below? Calculate the answer in meters (m) and rounded to three significant figures. A=8 B=78 B) A water balloon is launched at a speed of (15.0+A) m/s and an angle of 36 degrees above the horizontal. The water balloon hits a tall building located (18.0+B) m from the launch pad. At what height above the ground level will the water balloon hit the building? Calculate the answer in meters (m) and rounded to three significant figures. A=20 B=8
