A circus performer stands on a platform and throws an apple from a height of 38.0 m above the ground with an initial velocity 

v0

 as shown in the figure below. A second, blindfolded performer must catch the apple. If 

v0 = 27.0 m/s,

 how far from the end of the platform should the second performer stand? (Assume θ = 30.0°.)

    John throws a baseball from the outfield from shoulder height, at an initial velocity of 29.4 m/s at aninitial angle of 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. The ball is in its trajectory for a total interval of3.00 s before the third baseman catches it at an equal shoulder-height level. (Assume air resistancenegligible.) What is the ball's horizontal displacement?

    Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle θ with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(θ)) and y = h + (v0 sin(θ))t − 16t2. The center field fence in a ballpark is 10 feet high and 400 feet from home plate. The ball is hit h = 2 feet above the...

    A hiker throws a stone from the upper edge of a vertical cliff. The stone's initial velocity is 25.0 m/s directed at 40.0° with the face of the cliff, as shown in the figure. The stone hits the ground 3.75s after being thrown and feels no appreciable air resistance as it falls. (a) What is the height of the cliff (b) How far from the foot of the cliff does the stone land? (c) How fast is the stone moving...

    Block A begins at the top of the track with an initial speed. It then slides on the track without friction going down to the bottom and back up to the second platform. Finally, it collides with a stationary block, B and the two stick together and continue to slide. Block A, with mass, mA= 0.75 kg is given an initial velocity, v0= 1.3 m/s. Block A slides without friction along a track downward from a platform at height h1=...
