8. A projectile is fired from the origin in a straight line towards a rectangular target...
Example 4.3 A Bull's-Eye Every Time In a popular lecture demonstration, a projectile is fired at a target in such a way that the projectile leaves the gun at the same time the target is dropped from rest. Show that if the gun is initially aimed at the stationary target, the projectile hits the falling target as shown in figure (a). The velocity of the projectile (red arrows) changes in direction and magnitude, but its acceleration (purple arrows) remains constant....
6. A projectile is fired from ground level, and 10 seconds later hits a target 374 m away and 45 m above the ground. What were the initial velocity and launch angle? 7. The horizontal velocity of a projectile is assumed constant, vx vo cos Bo. The vertical velocity of the ball can be written as a function of time, vy(t)- vo sin 8o + ayt, where the acceleration ay in the y-direction is assumed constant. a. Set the origin...
