| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( \Delta x = v_{i_x} t \) | Use the horizontal motion formula where \( \Delta x = 32 \, \text{m} \) and solve for \( t \). |
| 2 | \( v_{i_x} = v_i \cos(\theta) \) | Calculate the initial horizontal velocity using the initial velocity and the angle. |
| 3 | \( v_{i_x} = 20 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 0.80 = 16 \, \text{m/s} \) | Substitute \( v_i = 20 \, \text{m/s} \) and \( \cos(37^\circ) = 0.80 \) to find \( v_{i_x} \). |
| 4 | \( 32 \, \text{m} = 16 \, \text{m/s} \cdot t \) | Substitute \( \Delta x = 32 \, \text{m} \) and \( v_{i_x} = 16 \, \text{m/s} \) into the horizontal motion formula. |
| 5 | \( t = \frac{32 \, \text{m}}{16 \, \text{m/s}} \) | Rearrange to solve for \( t \). |
| 6 | \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \) | Calculate the value of \( t \). |
So, the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence is \( \boxed{2 \, \text{s}} \).
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( y = v_{i_y} t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \) | Use the vertical motion equation to find the height \( y \) at \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \). |
| 2 | \( v_{i_y} = v_i \sin(\theta) \) | Calculate the initial vertical velocity using the initial velocity and the angle. |
| 3 | \( v_{i_y} = 20 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 0.60 = 12 \, \text{m/s} \) | Substitute \( v_i = 20 \, \text{m/s} \) and \( \sin(37^\circ) = 0.60 \) to find \( v_{i_y} \). |
| 4 | \( y = 12 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 2 \, \text{s} + \frac{1}{2} (-9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2) \cdot (2 \, \text{s})^2 \) | Substitute \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \), \( v_{i_y} = 12 \, \text{m/s} \), and \( a = -9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) into the vertical motion formula. |
| 5 | \( y = 24 \, \text{m} – 19.6 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the height \( y \). |
| 6 | \( y = 4.4 \, \text{m} \) | Determine the final value of \( y \) at \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \). |
| 7 | \( y_{\text{final}} – h_{\text{fence}} = 4.4 \, \text{m} – 2.5 \, \text{m} \) | Compare the calculated height with the fence height (\(2.5 \, \text{m}\)). |
| 8 | \( \Delta h = 1.9 \, \text{m} \) | Determine how far above the top of the fence the ball passes. |
So, the ball will pass \( \boxed{1.9 \, \text{m}} \) above the top of the fence.
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A block of mass \(M_1\) travels horizontally with a constant speed \(v_0\) on a plateau of height \(H\) until it comes to a cliff. A toboggan of mass \(M_2\) is positioned on level ground below the cliff. The center of the toboggan is a distance \(D\) from the base of the cliff.
Two cannonballs, A and B, are fired from the ground with identical initial speeds, but with \( \theta_A \) larger than \( \theta_B \).
Two balls are launched at the same time from opposite sides of a \( 100 \) \( \text{m} \) wide and \(1000 ~\text{m}\) canyon. Ball A is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at \( 45^{\circ} \) from the left side. Ball B is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at \( 45^{\circ} \) from the right side.
You must split an apple resting on top of you friend’s head from a distance of 27 m. When you aim directly at the apple, the arrow is horizontal. At what angle should you aim the arrow to hit the apple if the arrow travels at a speed of 35 m/s?
A gun can fire a bullet to height \( h \) when fired straight up. If the same gun is pointed at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) from the vertical, what is the new maximum height of the projectile?

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]
