91Ó°ÊÓ

A snowball is thrown from ground level (by someone in a hole) with initial speedv0 at an angle of45° relative to the (level) ground, on which the snowball later lands. If the launch angle is increased, do (a) the range and (b) the flight time increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Range of snow ball decreases as the angle increases.
  2. Time of flight of snow ball increases as the angle increases.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Here angle isθ=45°and initial isv0 .

02

To understand the concept

This problem is based on the concept of projectile motion. When a particle is thrown near the earth’s surface, it travels along a curved path under constant acceleration directed towards the center of the earth surface. Using concept of projectile, the range of projectile can be found. For range, vertical and horizontal components of initial velocity as well as vertical and horizontal distances can be used. Also using the kinematic equations the time of flight of projectile can be found.

Formulae:

R=v02×sin2θg

t=2v0sinθg

03

(a) To find the range of snow ball

Atθ=45° every projectile has maximum range

We can find the range R of the projectile by plugging the values of initial velocity and angle.

As the angle increased the range will decrease because ofsin2θ . As angle increases, the value of sin2θ will decrease.

04

(b) To find the time of flight of snow ball

If the angle is increased the value of t increases as the higher angles value of sin tends to 1.

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 of2.30mwith an initial speed oflocalid="1654581187572" 20.0m/sat a downward angle oflocalid="1654581198810" 18.00°. How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead,localid="1654581212383" 8.00°?

A boat is traveling upstream in the positive direction of an x axis at 14km/hwith respect to the water of a river. The water is flowing at 9.0km/hwith respect to the ground. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat’s velocity with respect to the ground? A child on the boat walks from front to rear at 6.0 km/h with respect to the boat. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the child’s velocity with respect to the ground?

For women’s volleyball the top of the net is 2.24above the floor and the court measures 9.0mby 9.0 m on each side of the net. Using a jump serve, a player strikes the ball at a point that is 3.0m above the floor and a horizontal distance of 8.0m from the net. If the initial velocity of the ball is horizontal, (a) what minimum magnitude must it have if the ball is to clear the net and (b) what maximum magnitude can it have if the ball is to strike the floor inside the back line on the other side of the net?

A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 30m/sat an angle of60°above the horizontal. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of its velocity2.0safter launch, and (c) is the angle above or below the horizontal? What are the (d) magnitude and (e) angle of its velocity 5.0 s after launch, and (f) is the angle above or below the horizontal?

A golf ball is struck at ground level. The speed of the golf ball as a function of the time is shown in Figure, wheret=0at the instant the ball is struck. The scaling on the vertical axis is set byva=19m/sandvb=31m/s. (a) How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before returning to ground level? (b) What is the maximum height above ground level attained by the ball?
