The quarterback of a football team releases a pass at a height of 5 feet above the playing field, and the football is caught by a receiver 40 yards directly downfield at a height of 3 feet. The pass is released at an angle of 35° with the horizontal.

(a) Find the speed of the football when it is released.

(b) Find the maximum height of the football.

(c) Find the time the receiver has to reach the proper position after the quarterback releases the ball.

A football receiver running straight downfield at 4.60 m/s is 11.5 m in front of the quarterback when a pass is thrown downfield at 31.0° above the horizon. If the receiver never changes speed and the ball is caught at the same height from which it was thrown, find the football's initial speed, the amount of time the football spends in the air, and the distance between the quarterback and the receiver when the catch is made. (a) the football's...

A football quarterback shows off his skill by throwing a pass 45.70m downfield and into a bucket. The quarterback consistently launches the ball at 38.00 deg above horizontal, and the bucket is placed at the same level from which the ball is thrown. What initial speed is needed so that the ball lands in the bucket?

At Enormous State University (ESU), the football team records its plays using vector displacements, with the origin taken to be the position of the ball before the play starts. In a certain pass play, the receiver starts at +1.0 i^ - 4.0 j^, where the units are yards, i^ is to the right, and j^ is downfield. Subsequent displacements of the receiver are +8.5 i^ (in motion before the snap), +10 j^ (breaks downfield), −6.0i^+4.0j^ (zigs), and +12.0i^+18.0j^ (zags). Meanwhile,...

A quarterback is set up to throw the football to a receiver who is running with a constant velocity ~vr directly away from the quarterback and is now a distance D away from the quarterback. The quarterback estimates that the ball must be thrown at an angle θ to the horizontal and the receiver must catch the ball a time interval tc after it is thrown. Assume the ball is thrown and caught at the same height y = 0...

A baseball is hit from a height of 4.6 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 174 feet per second and at an angle of 41 ° above the horizontal. What is the maximum height reached by the baseball? Neglect air resistance. The fence at the edge of the field is 9.5 feet tall and located 390 feet from home plate. Will the ball pass over the fence? No Yes

A quarterback shows a football with an initial speed of 20m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. Neglecting the height of release and assuming no air friction, answer the two questions below: When the ball is at its maximum height, the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity vector are: A) Vx = 0m/s, Vy = 0m/s B) Vx = 0m/s, Vy = 18.4 m/s C) Vx = 15.3 m/s, Vy =0m/s When the ball is at its...

A ball is thrown across a playing field from a height of h = 5 ft above the ground at an angle of 45° to the horizontal at the speed of 20 ft/s. It can be deduced from physical principles that the path of the ball is modeled by the function y= -(32/400)x^2+x+5 where x is the distance in feet that the ball has traveled horizontally. 1) Find the maximum height attained by the ball. (Round your answer to three...

You throw a tennis ball North with an initial speed of 24 feet per second, at an angle of elevation 30° above horizontal, releasing the ball 4 feet above the ground. A steady wind imparts a constant acceleration of 3 feet per second squared Eastward. Acceleration due to gravity is a constant 32 feet per second squared downward. Throughout the problem, let East be the positive x direction, North the positive y direction, and up the positive z direction. Let...
