A cannon located at sea level fires a ball with initial speedand initial anglerole="math" localid="1657023432500" The ball lands in the water after traveling a horizontal distancerole="math" localid="1657023530149" . How much greater would the horizontal distance have been had the cannon beenrole="math" localid="1657023595972" higher?
Oasis Ais 90kmdue west of oasis B. A desert camel leaves Aand takes 50 h to walk 75 km at north of due east. Next it takes 35 h to walk 65 km due south. Then it rests for 5.0 h. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the camel’s displacement relative to Aat the resting point? From the time the camel leaves Auntil the end of the rest period, what are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of its average velocity and (e) its average speed? The camel’s last drink was at A; it must be at Bno more than 120 h later for its next drink. If it is to reach Bjust in time, what must be the (f) magnitude and (g) direction of its average velocityafter the rest period?
In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the spike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height ofwith an initial speed oflocalid="1654581187572" at a downward angle oflocalid="1654581198810" . How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead,localid="1654581212383" ?
A graphing surprise. At time, a burrito is launched from level ground, with an initial speed ofand launch angle. Imagine a position vector continuously directed from the launching point to the burrito during the flight. Graph the magnitude rof the position vector for (a)and (b). For, (c) when does rreach its maximum value, (d) what is that value, and how far (e) horizontally and (f) vertically is the burrito from the launch point? For(g) when does rreach its maximum value, (h) what is that value, and how far (i) horizontally and (j) vertically is the burrito from the launch point?
In Fig. 4-34, a stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed ofdirected at angleabove the horizontal. The stone strikes at,after launching. Find (a) the heightof the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at, and (c) the maximum heightreached above the ground.
