From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 33.7 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 13.9 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 21.0 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance.
I do not know where to start
Good morning,
I am stuck on a homework problem. It reads:
"On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.10 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 40.2 m/s at an angle of 32 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?"
I figured out how to find the vector components, but I have no idea what to do next. Thank you in advance for your help!
Dominador, who is standing on the edge of an 80-m tall cliff facing the sea, kicks a ball horizontally at a speed of 13.01 m/s. How far from the base of the cliff will the ball hit the sea water?
Let be the initial vertical position of the ball, with positive position in the upward direction. The vertical displacement of the ball from the edge of the cliff to the seawater is:
meters.
The time it takes for the ball to reach the seawater is:
t = seconds.
The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is:
meters.
