A football receiver running straight downfield at 5.50 m/s is 10.0 m in front of the quarterback when a pass is thrown downfield at 25.0° above the horizon (Fig. P3.58). If the receiver never changes speed and the ball is caught at the same height from which it was thrown, find (a) the football's initial speed, (b) the amount of time the football spends in the air, and (c) the distance between the quarterback and the receiver when the catch is made. 5.50 m/s -10.0 m- Figure P3.58

A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.39 m/s at an angle of 85.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.90 mabove the table?
A tennis player hits the tennis ball at a distance of 10 m from the net. The ball is hitat a height of 1.2 m above ground so that it starts moving with a velocity of 30 m/s ina horizontal direction (parallel to the ground). The height of the net is 90 cm. What is the angle the tennis player has to hit the ball so it will just clear thenet?

A flare is shot horizontally from a flare gun located 60.0 m above the ground. Theflare’s speed as it leaves the gun is 200 m/s. Neglect wind resistance. a) What horizontal distance does the flare travel before striking the ground?b) What is its speed immediately before striking the ground? c) If the projectile were simply dropped from 60.0 m, instead of fired horizontally fromthat height, how much time would it take to reach the ground? How does this compare with the time it took to hit the ground in part (a)? Why?
