A cannon fires a ball horizontally with a velocity of 240 m/s. If the cannon is in a 44 meter tall tower and the ground below is flat, then (a) How long does the ball take to hit the ground after being fired? (b) At what horizontal distance from the cannon does the ball hit the ground? and (c) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity just before it hits the ground?
- Projectile Motion ind fires a tranquilizer dart directly at the lever monkey escapes from her cage. The zookeeper finds the monkey in a tree limb Wish The zoo keeper places a 8.00 cm protective pad directly under the monkey. 700 keeper chooses a line of site 3.00 m horizontally from the tree tranquilizer dart directly at the monkey just as the monkey lets go of the limb. istance and assume the dart hits the monkey just as she hits...
1. A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 9.4m tall and lands 9.7m from the base. What was the balls initial speed? 2. You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 3.6s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun?...
Newton’s Cannon Imagine you fired a cannonball such that the range of that ball was slightly longer than the radius of the Earth. As that ball fell back down, it would miss the ground and continue to fall. If we can ignore any air resistance or collisions with other objects, then we can say the ball would continue to fall forever, just missing the ground, and thus be in orbit. Assume all orbits here are perfectly circular and pretend that...
A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 18.2 m/s directly upward. Choose upward as the positive direction in your analysis. (a) What is the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches? 0 x What is the final velocity, momentarily, at the highest point? Knowing this, and the given information, can you use a constant acceleration kinematic relation to find the height? Also, be careful of signs. What...
A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.6 m/s directly upward. Choose upward as the positive direction in your analysis. (a) What is the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches? 15.80 (b) How long does it take to reach the maximum height? 1.7959 (c) How long does it take to reach the ground after it reaches its highest point? 1.7959 (d) What is its velocity just...
