A baseball thrown at an angle of 37 degrees above the horizontal strikes a building 15.0m away at a point 5.00m above the point from which it is thrown. Ignore air resistance. a) Find the magnitude of the initial velocity of the baseball (the velocity with which the baseball is thrown). b) What is the time for the baseball takes to strike the building? c) Find the magnitude of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building.
A man stands on the roof of a 15.0 m tall building and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 30.0 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate:
a)the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock.
b)the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground
c)the horizontal range from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.
A tennis player serves the ball with an
initial speed of 23.6 m/s, from a height of
2.37 m above the court. If the net is at a
distance of 12 m and has a height of 0.90
m, determine what is indicated in each
section:
a) The angle that the throw must have so
that the ball can pass over the net.
b) The time it takes for the ball to hit the
ground, assuming the person on the other
side of the net fails to return it.
c) If the other person has a height of 1.70
m, and his throw is made at 2.20 m,
indicate in what position he must be in
order to return the ball.
