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?

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...

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...
