Hank Huckleberry, who is the quarterback for the Kennesaw Kilowatts in the Metro Metric Football League, where all distances in the field are measured in meters. Hank throws the ball with an initial velocity of 16 m/s at an angle which is 48 degrees up from north. He releases the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the field. How long does it take from the time of the throw until it lands?
Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms.
a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck
b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?

- Estimate the thickness of the Earth's atmosphere. From your chemistry class, you know that the most common speed of a nitrogen molecule is 700 m/s. The molecules' velocity is pointed along random directions, but some molecules head straight up; i.e. directly away from the Earth's center. Consider the thickness of the atmosphere as the highest point that such a nitrogen molecule can fly to, if it goes straight up. What is the altitude? marrow_forwardA jeepney and a train are moving together along parallel paths at 30.0 m/s, with the jeepney adjacent to the rear of the train. The jeepney driver sees the traffic light turn red, so he accelerates at -2.50 m/s2, and then let his jeepney come to rest. The jeepney is at rest for 50.0 s, and then accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 to go back to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Assuming that the speed of the train remained constant at 30.0 m/s, how far is the jeepney from the rear of the train when the jeepney reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s?arrow_forwardA baseball is thrown from the outfield to home plate.
