Get started for freeIn a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the spike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height ofwith an initial speed oflocalid="1654581187572" at a downward angle oflocalid="1654581198810" . How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead,localid="1654581212383" ?
During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontallyabove the court surface. The net isaway andhigh. When the ball reaches the net, (a) does the ball clear it and (b) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, (c) does the ball clear it and (d) what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net?
The acceleration of a particle moving only on a horizontalxyplane is given by , where is in meters per second squared and tis in seconds. At , the position vector locates the particle, which then has the velocity vector . At , what are (a) its position vector in unit-vector notation and (b) the angle between its direction of travel and the positive direction of the xaxis.
(a)If an electron is projected horizontally with a speed of , how far will it fall in traversingof horizontal distance?
(b)Does the answer increase or decrease if the initial speed is increased?
A projectile is fired horizontally from a gun that is above flat ground, emerging from the gun with a speed of.(a)How long does the projectile remain in the air? (b)At what horizontal distance from the firing point does it strike the ground? (c)What is the magnitude of the vertical component of its velocity as it strikes the ground?
