- When a ball with a mass of 3 kg reaches 9 meters above the ground after being thrown obliquely from the ground to the air, the velocity vector is calculated with v = 7i + 6j. Accordingly, what is the maximum height the ball can reach?arrow_forwardYou stand still and throw a ball straight upwards with an initial speed of 7.50 m/s. You then repeat this experiment while on a moving sidewalk that is moving horizontally with a speed of 0.500 m/s. How high does the ball go?arrow_forwardImmediately after the bouncing golf ball leaves the floor, its components of velocity are Vx = 0.888 m/s, and Vy = 3.504 m/s. Determine the horizontal distance (meters) from the point where the ball left the floor to the point where it hits the floor again. Answer is 0.634. No other answer thanks.arrow_forward
- Problem: A person who is 1.3 m tall throws a ball with a speed of 19m/s at an angle of 17 degrees above horizontal. One part of the problem asks me to find the x and y components of the ball's velocity before it hits the ground. I have tried using the vy^2 = voy^2 + 2ah for the y-component: vy^2 = (5.56)^2 + (2)(10)(1.3) = 7.54 and my x-component is just (19)(cos(17))= 18.17 m/s, but it is saying this is not the right answer. What am I doing wrong?arrow_forwardA tennis ball with mass of 0.16 kg is batted into the air. Its initial speed is 36.3 m/s, directed at an angle 25 degrees above the horizontal. If the height of the ball when it was struck by the racket is 35 cm, how high off the ground (in m) is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?arrow_forwardDanielle launches a ball off of a platform of height h with velocity vo at an angle 0 above the horizontal. A wall with a ball-sized hole a height H above the floor, with H > h, is a horizontal distance L = 24.0 m away from Danielle. The difference in height between H and h is one-twelfth of L, and the square of the magnitude of the velocity, v, is three-halves of the product gL. H 1 H – h = h 3 L Determine the two values of 0 that ensure the ball passes through the hole. Submit the larger angle as 0, and the smaller angle as 02.arrow_forward
- A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 1000 m/s at an angle of 370 above the horizontal. If air is neglected, the horizontal component of the projectile's velocity after 20 s is: O 16 m/s O 640 m/s O 800 m/s O 600 m/sarrow_forwardA baseball slugger hits a pitch and watches the ball fly into the bleachers for a home run, landing h = 5.5 m higher than it was struck. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf = 40.05 m/s at an angle θf = 26° below horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. Find the angle θ0 in degrees above the horizontal at which the ball left the bat.arrow_forwardProblem 8: A baseball slugger hits a pitch and watches the ball fly into the bleachers for a home run, landing h = 5.5 m higher than it was struck. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf= 38.7 m/s at an angle 6f = 33° below horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position. yarrow_forward
- The velocity of a particle moving in the x-y plane is given by (6.12i + 3.24j) m/s at time t = 3.65 s. Its average acceleration during the next 0.02 s is (4.0i + 6.0j) m/s². Determine the velocity v of the particle at t = 3.67 s and the angle between the average-acceleration vector and the velocity vector at t = 3.67 s. Answers: V = ( i 8= i it i j) m/sarrow_forwardA golf coach is showing her athletes how to hit a golf ball from the ground. 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.
