A placekicker 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 21.7 m/s at an angle of 48.5° to the horizontal.

(a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar?

(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar 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 +...

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...

A box is sliding up a 40 degree incline. At a point 55cm from the bottom of the incline (measured along the incline) the phone has a speed of 1.4ms^-1. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and incline is 0.15. a) Write expressions for Newton's second law in directions parallel and perpendicular to the surface of the incline. Thus show that the box will move a further 13cm up the incline. b) After having stopped, the phone slides...
