- I asked the question here before but the solution was wrong. that's why I will ask again. Sam and William are playing with a ball. Sam throws the ball 30 s after William started to run away from the starting position. If William is accelerating 1.6 m/s2 starting from rest, find the initial velocity of the ball to hit the moving target and the ground at the same time. The ball is thrown 1.5 m from the ground and 46° from the horizontal.

Round off all answers to two decimal places. Do not forget the negative sign (-) if needed. A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. Vo = ( m/s) i +( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = m/s2 The time needed to reach maximum height is t= The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = m.arrow_forwardA mountain climber jumps a crevasse of width W by leaping horizontally with speed V0.
