0 | – Airplane speed: \( v_p = 97.5 \, \text{m/s} \) – Climb angle: \( \theta = 50.0^\circ \) – Altitude at release: \( h = 732 \, \text{m} \) – Acceleration due to gravity: \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) |
Gathered all given data for the problem. |
1 | Resolve initial velocity into components:
– Horizontal component: – Vertical component: |
Calculated initial horizontal (\( v_{0x} \)) and vertical (\( v_{0y} \)) velocities of the package. |
2 | Set up the vertical motion equation to find time \( t \):
\( y = y_0 + v_{0y} t – \dfrac{1}{2} g t^2 \) |
Established the equation for vertical motion to solve for time. |
3 | Rearrange the equation into a quadratic form:
\( -\dfrac{1}{2} g t^2 + v_{0y} t + h = 0 \) |
Prepared the quadratic equation to solve for \( t \). |
4 | Calculate the discriminant \( D \):
\( D = b^2 – 4ac \) |
Computed the discriminant to use in the quadratic formula. |
5 | Solve for time \( t \) using the quadratic formula:
\( t = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{D}}{2a} \) |
Found the time of flight \( t \) for the package. |
6 | (a) Calculate the horizontal distance traveled:
\( x = v_{0x} t \) |
Determined the horizontal distance from the release point to impact. |
7 | Calculate the final vertical velocity \( v_y \):
\( v_y = v_{0y} – g t \) |
Computed the vertical component of velocity just before impact. |
8 | Calculate the magnitude of the final velocity \( v \):
\( v = \sqrt{v_{x}^2 + v_{y}^2} \) |
Found the speed of the package just before impact. |
9 | (b) Determine the angle \( \phi \) of the velocity vector:
\( \tan \phi = \dfrac{|v_y|}{v_x} = \dfrac{141.28}{62.73} \approx 2.252 \) |
Calculated the angle of the velocity vector relative to the ground. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 3.5 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 45 m/s at an angle of 29° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet find:
You kick a soccer ball with an initial velocity directed 53° above the horizontal. The ball lands on a roof 7.2 m high. The wall of the building is 25 m away, and it takes the ball 2.1 seconds to pass directly over the wall.
Barry Bonds hits a \(125 \,\text{m}\) home run. Assuming that the ball left the bat at an angle of \(45^\circ\) from the horizontal, calculate how long the ball was in the air.
A soccer ball with an initial height of \(1.5 \, \text{m}\) above the ground is launched at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal. The soccer ball travels a horizontal distance of \(45 \, \text{m}\) to a \(9.0 \, \text{m}\) high castle wall, and passes over \(3.20 \, \text{m}\) above the highest point of the wall. Assume air resistance is negligible.
3 clay balls, labeled A, B, and C are launched from the same height at the same speed as shown above. A is launched at \( 30^\circ \) above horizontal, B is launched horizontally, and C is launched \( 30^\circ \) below the horizontal. They all hit the wall (before reaching the ground) in times \( t_A \), \( t_B \), and \( t_C \) respectively. Rank these times from least to greatest.
(a) \( 1379.29 \, \text{m} \)
(b) \( 66.1^\circ \) below the horizontal.

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
