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/s
A projectile is launched on a horizontal plane with a speed of 30 m/s and an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The projectile explodes 1.5 seconds after launch, splitting into 2 parts. The first part, with 1/3 of the total mass, lands exactly at the origin of the launch. How far from the launch point will the second part fall?

- Georgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut.

- The three balls in the overhead are identical. Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the path of ball 1. The velocity of ball 1 has magnitude v0 = 10 m/s and is directed at the contact point of balls 1 and 2. After the collision, what are the (a) speed and (b) direction of the velocity of ball 2, the (c) speed and (d) direction of the velocity of ball 3, and the (e) speed and (f) direction of the velocity of ball 1?

A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill. Enemy forces are charging up the hill and it is necessary for the crew to spring into action. Angling the mortar at an angle of 0 65.0° (as shown), the crew fires the shell at a muzzle velocity of 148 ft/s. How far d down the hill does the shell strike if the hill d subtends an angle o = 37.0° from the horizontal?

- A firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics- based reasoning.arrow_forwardArcherfish are one of the few fish that prey on land insects and other small animals. They do this by shooting a jet of water from their specialized mouths at an insect resting on a leaf or plant stem above the water (see photo). This often stuns the insect, causing it to fall into the water, where it can be eaten. In the drawing, an archerfish is shooting water toward an unsuspecting horsefly at rest on a blade of marsh grass above the surface of a pond. Use the information in the drawing to calculate how high (h) the horsefly is above the water. The initial velocity of the water (vo) is 3.2 m/s, and assume that the projected water reaches its maximum height above the pond's surface when it strikes the horsefly. to search Varren l'hotographic FOWL A O 1 10 OF 55°F Mostly cloudyarrow_forwardFor a forensics experiment, a student decides to measure the muzzle velocity of the pellets from his BB gun.
