A catapult is placed on flat ground. It launches a guitar into the air at a 30◦ angle above the horizon and an initial speed of 20 m/s. Ignore air resistance. If the guitar is released at a height 2.0 m above the ground at time t = 0, calculate

(a) the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity,

(b) the time t when the guitar hits the ground again,

(c) the horizontal range of the guitar,

(d) the final speed at which the guitar hits the ground,

(e) the maximum height above the ground the guitar reaches

A large catapult, standing on a flat field, throws a rock into the air with initial speed 17.8 m/s at an angle 33.1o to the horizontal. At the same time, there is a wind blowing parallel to the ground, causing the rock at accelerate at 0.703 m/s2 horizontally. Ignoring friction: find the horizontal distance, in m, that the rock travels before it hits the ground.

A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height H = 31.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle theta = 47.9° above the horizontal, and with a speed v = 30.9 m/s. Assuming that air friction can be neglected, calculate the horizontal distance D traveled by the projectile. if the answer involves using quadratic formula to find time, please show all work....

A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height H = 34.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle above the horizontal with an unknown speed v0. The projectile remains in flight for 6.00 seconds and travels a horizontal distance D = 181 m. A) Assuming that air friction can be neglected, calculate the value of the angle (in degrees). B) Calculate the...

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 81.0 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1020 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of ?9.80 m/s2. (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a)...

A shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 11.8 m/s, 52.8° above the horizontal. The shot hits the ground 2.10 s later. You can ignore air resistance. (Assume the horizontal direction of the shot and upward are positive.) (a) What are the components of the shot's acceleration while in flight? m/s2 (horizontal component) m/s2 (vertical component) (b) What are the components of the shot's velocity at the beginning of its trajectory? m/s...

A baseball player hits a home run, and the baseball just clear a wall 27 m located 144 m from the home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 38 degrees to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground. What is the initial speed of the ball? (use g = 10 m/s2). How much time does it take for the ball to reach the...

A skydiver jumps out of an aeroplane and begins to fall. (a) The skydiver’s parachute deploys and, from a height of 1 800 m, the skydiver falls with a constant speed of 26 km/hr. How long does it take for the skydiver to fall to the ground from this height? (1 mark) (b) At a height of 1 800 m the skydiver accidently lets go of a camera (with an initial downward speed of 26 km/hr). What speed is the...

A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 18.6 m/s and at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of its displacement from the catapult site at t = 1.01 s? Repeat for the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical components at t = 1.76 s, and for the (e) horizontal and (f) vertical components at t = 5.11 s. Assume that...

Spitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezing muscles around their venom glands to squirt venom at an attacker. Suppose a spitting cobra rears up to a height of 0.420 m above the ground and launches venom at 4.00 m/s, directed 57.0° above the horizon. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance (in m) traveled by the venom before it hits the ground
