One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then, while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 28.5 m/s. The first one is thrown at an angle of 63.0° with respect to the horizontal.

(a) At what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first?
°

(b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first in order for both to arrive at the same time?

One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. While your opponent is watching the first one, a second snowball is thrown at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 15.0 m/s. The first one is thrown at an angle of 60.0

Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s at an angle of 40°, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims a distance L under water at a speed of 3.54 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver. Determine the average speed of the...

During a snowball fight, two snowballs travelling towards each other collide head-on. The first is moving east at a speed of 15.3 m/s and has a mass of 0.450 kg. The second is moving west at 13.5 m/s. When the snowballs collide, they stick together and travel west at 3.50 meters per second. What is the mass of the second snowball?

A ball is thrown vertically upward from a window that is 3.6 m above the ground. The ball's initial speed is 2.8 m/s and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. a) What is the ball's speed when it hits the ground? b) How long after the first ball is thrown should a second ball be simply dropped from the same window so that both balls hit the ground at the same time?

A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.17 s later. You may ignore air resistance A. If the height of the building is 20.3 m, what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time? Express your answer in meters per second. B. Consider the same situation, but now let...

The program shown below reads in (N) values of time (hours, minutes, and seconds). If the values for hours, minutes and seconds are a legal military time (i.e. 00 00 00 to 23 59 59) the program should display the formatted results (i.e. 12 34 56 should be displayed as 12:34:56). If there's an error for any of the entered values, an exception should be thrown and an error message should be displayed. Note, there are three exception conditions, one...

PROBLEM A long jumper (see figure) leaves the ground at an angle of 20.0°to the horizontal and at a speed of 11.0 m/s. (a) How long does it take for him to reach maximum height? (b) What is the maximum height? (c) How far does he jump? (Assume his motion is equivalent to that of a particle, disregarding the motion of his arms and legs.) (d) Use the proper equation to find the maximum height he reaches. STRATEGY Again, we...

February 3, 2009, was a very snowy day along Interstate 69 just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. As a result of the slippery conditions and low visibility (50 yards or less), there was an enormous accident involving approximately 30 vehicles, including cars, tractor-trailers, and even a fire truck. Many witnesses said that people were driving too fast for the conditions and were too close together. In this problem, we explore two rules of thumb for driving in such conditions. The first...
