(4.5.40) A cannon is aimed 35° above the horizontal. (a) The cannon fires towards a 50m-high wall whose base is 150m away from the cannon, measured horizontally. What is the minimum speed at which the cannonball must be fired in order to clear the wall? (Neglect the height of the barrel of the cannon.) (b) On the other side of a cliff is a 30-m high balcony. If the cannonball is fired at the speed you found in part (a), find the horizontal and vertical components of the cannonball's velocity as it strikes the balcony. 50m 30m 150m

A cannon has an initial hight of 10 meters. The cannon ball has a weight of 15kg. There is no air resistance. If the cannon is fired with an initial angle of 0 degrees and an initial speed of 10 meters/second, what is the range? (the answer is 7.1 but I don't know how that value was found)
A sniper is snipping a deer on the ground. He was able to measure the horizontal distance of the deer and with a quick calculation; he aimed 10° above the horizontal. Ignore drag forces. If the bullet was fired at a speed of 270 m/s and hit the deer after 1.64s, how far is the deer from him?
An archer shoots an arrow at a 78.0 m distant target, the bull's-eye of which is at same height as the release height of the arrow. (a) At what angle must the arrow be released to hit the bull's-eye if its initial speed is 33.0 m/s? (Although neglected here, the atmosphere provides significant lift to real arrows.) (b) There is a large tree halfway between the archer and the target with an overhanging branch 3.50 m above the release height of the arrow. Will the arrow go over or under the branch?

Vox = Vo Vay =a 4. Chased by assassins, Jason Bourne makes a daring motorcycle leap from the (flat, level) top of a parking garage, to the roof of an office building which is 2.50 m lower, and 19.50 m away. Assume he drives off the garage horizontally, and there is no air friction. If he launches with a speed v= 27.4 m/s: (a) Will he land on the roof (blue path), or hit the side of the building (red path)? Support your answer with a calculation. (b) Based on your results from part (a), find the components of his velocity at the moment that he hits the building. (fc 2.50m In b.29 garage us 19.50m buildigg (drawing is not to scale!)
A body is projected from the ground at an angle of 32° with the horizontal at an initial speed of 130 ft/s.Ignoring air friction, determine how high will it go?
A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, h, - 6.30 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h= 7.50 m high, to form a 1.2-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of e = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. m/s (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands.
A plate slides off the edge of a kitchen table with an initial velocity of 3 m/s horizontally. The height of the tabletop above the ground is 4.0 m. (neglect the air resistance) a) what is the range of the projectile? b) What is the velocity (including both the horizontal and vertical components) of the plate just before it hits the ground and shatters into multiple pieces?
A golf ball with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s lands exactly 135 m downrange on a level course. (a) Neglecting air friction, what two projection angles would achieve this result? ?1 = ° above the ground (smaller angle) ?2 = ° above the ground (larger angle) (b) What is the maximum height reached by the ball, using the two angles determined in part (a)? using ?1 m using ?2 m
A golf ball is thrown from the top of a cottage roof with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s at 56.0° above the horizontal. Just as it reaches the ground, the vertical component of the golf ball's velocity is measured to be 13.5 m/s downwards. (The solution you submit for this TEST PROBLEM must be entirely your work only.) (a) What must the height of the cottage roof? (b) How far horizontally will the ball have moved when it has reached the peak of its trajectory?

a quarterback throws a ball with a velocity of 50ft/s at an angle 40 above the horizontal towards an open receiver who is 30yd away. The pass is released 5.0 ft above the ground. Assume the receiver is stationary and will catch the ball if it reaches him. Will it be a complete pass? If not will it fall short or ''fly'' to the receiver?
