In Fig. 4-41, a ball is thrown up onto a roof, landing 4.00 slater at height h=20.0 mabove the release level. The ball’s path just before landing is angled atθ=60.0°with the roof. (a) Find the horizontal distanceit travels. (See the hint to Problem 39) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball’s initial velocity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The horizontal distance travel by the ball is 33.7 m

(b) The magnitude of initial velocity of ball is 26.0 m/s

(c) The angle of initial velocity of ball-71.1°

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that, the height of the roof is 20.0 m and angle of landing is 60°and time is 4.0 s to travel the total distance.

02

Determining the concept

As the ball is hit on the roof with a given angle of projection, it is a time-reversed problem with the ball thrown from the roof towards left. The height of the roof is also given. So, kinematic equations can be used to find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball and the angle and magnitude of an initial velocity.

Formulae:

In kinematic equation, the distance in general notation is given by,

s=v0t+12at2 (i)

And Velocity is given by,

vf2=v02+2as (ii)

vf=v0+at (iii)

03

(a) Determining the horizontal distance d traveled by the ball

Let’s consider an initial velocity asv0and final velocity asvf. So, the horizontal component of the velocity during the launch would be equal to the horizontal component of the velocity at the moment of landing.

Now, using the notation in equation (ii), the velocity in vertical direction can be written as,

Vf2=V02+2a∆y

Object is landed with an angle60°and velocityvf, so,

(vfsin60)2=(v0²õ¾±²Ôθ)2-2×9.8×20

(vfsin60)2=(v0sinθ)2-392

Now, For vertical component the equation (i) can be written as,

Δy=v0t+12at2

For vertical component

20=(v0²õ¾±²Ôθ)4-0.5×9.8×16

v0sinθ=24.6m/s

Substitute this value intheabove equation,

vfsin602=v0²õ¾±²Ôθ2-392vfsin602=24.62-392vfsin602=-213.16vf=16.8586m/s≈16.9m/s

Now, using

v0³¦´Ç²õθ=8.429 m/s

and

v0²õ¾±²Ôθ=24.6m/s

Thus the horizontal distance traveled

x=v0³¦´Ç²õθ×t=8.429×4=33.68m≈33.7m

04

(b) Determining the magnitude of initial velocity of a ball

From above two equations, taking the ratio of them,

tanθ=2.9183

Hence,

θ=71.1°

Therefore,

v0=26.00m/s

Thus, magnitude of an initial velocity isv0=26.00m/s

05

(c) Determining the angle of initial velocity of a ball

From above,

tanθ=2.9183

Hence,

θ=71.1°

Thus, angle relative to horizontal is θ=71.1°in clockwise direction

A projectile is fired with an initial speed v0=30.0m/sfrom level ground at a target that is on the ground, at distance R=20.0m, as shown in Fig. 4-59. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest launch angles that will allow the projectile to hit the target?

Two seconds after being projected from ground level, a projectile is displaced40mhorizontally and 53mvertically above its launch point. What are the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the initial velocity of the projectile? (c)At the instant the projectile achieves its maximum height above ground level, how far is it displaced horizontally from the launch point?

Long flights at mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere encounter the jet stream, an eastward airflow that can affect a plane’s speed relative to Earth’s surface. If a pilot maintains a certain speed relative to the air (the plane’s airspeed), the speed relative to the surface (the plane’s ground speed) is more when the flight is in the direction of the jet stream and less when the flight is opposite the jet stream. Suppose a round-trip flight is scheduled between two cities separated by 4000 km, with the outgoing flight in the direction of the jet stream and the return flight opposite it.The airline computer advises an airspeed of 1000 km/hr, for which the difference in flight times for the outgoing and return flights is 70.0 min.What jet-stream speed is the computer using?

A particle is in uniform circular motion about the origin of an x-ycoordinate system, moving clockwise with a period of 7.00s. At one instant, its position vector (measured from the origin) isr→=(2.00m)i^.(3.00m)j^ . At that instant, what is its velocity in unit-vector notation?

In Fig. 4-54, a lump of wet putty moves in uniform circular motion as it rides at a radius of 20.0cmon the rim of a wheel rotating counterclockwise with a period of 5.00 ms .The lump then happens to fly off the rim at the 5 o’clock position (as if on a clock face). It leaves the rim at a height of h=1.20m from the floor and at a distance d=2.50 m from a wall. At what height on the wall does the lump hit?
