A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She
throws the softball with a velocity of 19.5 m/s at an angle of 36.5° above the horizontal. When the softball leaves her hand, it
is 13.5 m above the water. How far does the softball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air
resistance when calculating the answer.
A frat boy throws a ping pong ball from 0.6 m above a table at 5 m/s and wants to land it in a 20 cm cup 1 m away along the table. At what angle above the horizontal should he throw it?
During a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to
knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from
where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do
this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of
the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from
where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above
the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal,
then how much time will the ball spend airborne before
hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point
particles in this problem.

- Hole number 7 at Pebble Beach golf course is one of the shortest championship holes in the world. The hole is only 100m away from the tee, and it is also 12m lower. Champion golfer Shooter McGavin hits a 9-iron at an angle of 50◦ with respect to the horizontal, and lands the ball right in the hole. Assume there is no wind or air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s^2. (sin 50◦ = 0.766, cos 50◦ = 0.643, tan 50◦ = 1.19, sin 45◦ = 0.707, cos 45◦ = 0.707, tan 45◦ = 1.00). What is the initial velocity of the ball? How long was the ball in the air? What was the maximum height? If Shooter had misjudged the hole, and hit the ball with the same velocity but at an angle of 45◦ instead, by how much would he have overshot the hole?arrow_forwardMessi is keeping his free-kick skills sharp this quarantine by playing football with his neighbour's monkey.

- Two friends are playing catch. They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for timearrow_forwardA physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a baseball to her friends in the water below.
