Because of your physics background, you have been hired as a consultant for a newmovie about Galileo. In one scene, he climbs up to the top of a tower and, in frustration over the people who ridicule his theories, throws a rock at a group of them standing on the ground. The rock leaves his hand at 30 degrees from the horizontal. The script calls forthe rock to land 15 m from the base of the tower near a group of his detractors. It isimportant for the script that the rock takes precisely 3.0 seconds to hit the ground sothat there is time for a good expressive close-up. The set coordinator is concerned thatthe rock will hit the ground with too much speed, causing cement chips from the plazato injure on of the high priced actors. You are told to calculate that speed.

A tennis player hits a ball at a velocity of 50 m/s at a 0 degree angle from 1m high. When the ball bounces it reflects its velocity angle perfectly and loses 30% of its speed. How long does the other player have to return the ball before the second bounce?arrow_forward

A train is travelling east along a straight run of track at 66 km/hr. Inside, two siblings 2.2 m apart are playing catch directly across the aisle. The kid wearing a PJ Harvey T-shirt throws the ball horizontally north. The ball crosses the train and is caught 1.2 s later by their little sibling. (Ignore any effects of gravity or friction.) Find the magnitude of the ball's velocity in m/s from the little brother's point of view. What is the magnitude of the velocity (in m/s) of the ball as seen by someone standing still outside the train? What is the angle (in degree) that a stationary observer would say the ball makes during the throw, relative to the direction of the train?arrow_forwardYou are target shooting using a toy gun that fires a small ball at a speed of 15 m/sm/s. When the gun is fired at an angle of 25 ∘∘ above horizontal, the ball hits the bull's-eye of a target at the same height as the gun. Then the target distance is halved. At what angle must you aim the gun to hit the bull's-eye in its new position? (Mathematically there are two solutions to this problem; the physically reasonable answer is the smaller of the two.)arrow_forward
