Concept explainers

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Neglecting air resistance, why would a ball projected horizontally and another ball dropped at the same time from the same initial height hit the ground together?
A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal that travels 93 yards before striking the ground. He then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 93 yards. At what angle was the second ball hit? (Neglect air resistance.)
If two rockets were fired simultaneously at the same height. Which will hit the ground first, the one with greater angle or the one with lower angle?
Consider the following statement: When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet leaves the barrel and doesn't drop at all for the first 75 meters of flight. Is this statement true?
If a baseball is hit with a vertical speed of 30 m/s and a horizontal speed of 2 m/s, how long will the ball remain in the air? (Assume for the purposes of this question that the ball starts at nearly ground level.) How far will it go?

You hit a golf ball at an angle of 30 degrees and a speed of 40m/s. The speed of the golf ball when it hits the ground is closest to which value (ignore air resistance)?
For maximum range, a football should be punted at about 45° to the horizontal—somewhat less due to air drag. But punts are often kicked at angles greater than 45°. Can you think of a reason why?
A golfer strikes a golf ball with his golf club at 42 m/s and at 30 ° above the horizontal, If air resistance and wind are neglected, and if the golf course is perfectly flat and horizontal, at what speed would the golf ball land on the ground?
A projectile is launched 35 degrees at a speed of 18 m/s, neglecting air resistance. At what speed and angle will it return to its original level? Why?
A soccer player is practicing on the field. He kicks a ball with a speed of 32 m/s at a 53-degree angle with respect to the horizontal toward the net. If the horizontal bar of the goal is 2.3 meters above the ground and he is standing 35-yards in from of the goal, does he score a goal or does the ball soar above the net? Answer this question by finding the height of the ball above the ground when it reaches the net.
