Tom Brady throws a pass down the field. He releases the ball 2m off the ground at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal at velocity of 15 m/s. The pass is incomplete and is not touched by any other player. a. Using the release height and throwing velocity provided, calculated the optimal release angle that results in the longest pass possible. How far does the ball travel horizontally with this release angle?

Krissy throws a ball from a height of 2.00 m above the ground. She throws the ball with a speed of 3.00 m/s directed 50.0 degrees above the horizontal. Find: a.) the speed of the ball at landing b.) the time it takes the ball to land c.) the angle with which the ball impacts the ground d.) the horizontal range of the ball e.) the maximum height of the ball f.) the time it takes the ball to reach...

the pitcher in a football game releases the ball at 0.9m above the ground level. the ball take 1.51 s to reach another player, which is 18.0m away, also at a height of 0.9m above the ground. a) what is the horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball? b) what is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball? c) at what time during the flight will the ball reach the maximum height? what is its...

A boy standing on the ground close to a building throws a ball vertically upward. From his measurements of the maximum height, y-max, to which the ball rises and the time required to reach this height, the boy calculates that the average velocity of the ball on its way up is 20 m/s. Five seconds after leaving the boys hand, the ball is caught by a girl who has stretched her arm out of a window some distance above the...

Assume that the height of a ball in feet off of the ground after t seconds is given by the function h(t). If you know the following about the function h and its derivative 1. h(5) = 250 ft 2. h'(1) = 15 ft/sec 3. h'(5) = 0 ft/sec 4. h'(6) = -2 ft/sec Recall that h'(t) is the derivative of h at seconds, and h(t) is the function h evaluated at t seconds. Explain what each of the 4...

A bowler throws a bowling ball of radius 11cm down a bowling lane. It has an initial linear velocity of 8.8 m/s, but no initial angular velocity. The kinetic friction force causes both linear acceleration and an angular acceleration; the kinetic friction coefficient between the ball and the floor is 0.1. When the balls linear speed has decreased enough and the ball’s angular speed has increased enough there will come a moment when the ball’s contact point with the floor...

Tom Brady went to Supercuts and is upset as his haircut went awry. He tells Supercuts that they will be hearing from his lawyer and “the haircut is an assault” and “will cause both him and Giselle emotional distress.” He also adds that the “haircut is also clearly negligence.” He sees you walking with your Business Law textbook, which you never leave home without and asks you what you think. What do you tell him?

A baseball player is 98m away from home plate when he throws the ball at a 30° angle above horizontal from a height of 1.45 m (the height of his hand). a. What is the initial speed of the throw for the ball to land exactly on home plate? In order to solve this problem, set up equations for x and y position vs time. Put in all known values. You will have two remaining unknowns: v0(the magnitude of the...

A basket ball payer makes 90.4% of his free throws. In a game where he has 15 free throws, find the following. a) Find the probability that he makes at least eleven free throws in that game. Write the statistical expression to represent this problem. b) Find the mean number of free throws that he makes in that game. c) Find the standard deviation of the number of free throws that he makes in that game.

Steve Young stands on the 20-yard line, poised to throw long. He throws the ball at initial velocity v0 equal to 15.4 m/s and releases it at an angle θ equal to 45.0∘ . 1) Having faked an end around, Jerry Rice comes racing past Steve at a constant velocity VJ equal to 8.00 m/s, heading straight down the field. Assuming that Jerry catches the ball at the same height above the ground that Steve throws it, how long must...

Tom has taken out a loan for college. He started paying off the loan with a first payment of $200. Each month he pays, he wants to pay back 1.2 times as the amount he paid the month before. Explain to Tom how to represent his first 30 payments in sigma notation. Then explain how to find the sum of his first 30 payments, using complete sentences. Explain why this series is convergent or divergent.
