A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 21.2 m/s at an angle of 46.0° to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short (vertically) of clearing the crossbar? (Enter a negative answer if it falls short.)

(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar (and cross above or beneath it) while still rising or while falling?

A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 25.3 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 20.8 m/s at an angle θ above the ground. Between what two angles, θ1 and θ2, will the ball clear the 2.86-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec θ = 1/(cos θ) and sec2θ = 1 +...

A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest elevation angles at which he can kick the ball to score a field goal from a point 50.0 m in front of goalposts whose horizontal bar is 3.44 m above the ground? When doing this, you may want to research some trig identities to get a formula involving only tangent functions. Also, since there are two values of angle...

Data from the National Football League (NFL) from a recent season reported the number of yards gained by each of the league's wide receivers. The data in this Excel file nfl_receiver_yds_webassign shows the yards gained by each wide receiver in the NFL who gained 50 or more yards during the season. The number of yards gained is right-skewed and therefore a normal model is NOT a good model for the data. However, the square root of the number of yards...

You place a mass m = 40 g on a book and slowly increase the angle e that the book makes with the horizontal. At a critical angle theta_c = 42°, the mass starts to slide so you hold the angle constant. The mass takes 0.75 s to slide a distance of 17 cm to the edge of the book. Assume that the values of mu_s and mu_k, are uniform all over the book. c) What is the value of...
