𝑦 − 𝑦0 = 25 0.6428 𝑡 − 4.9 𝑡 2
𝑦 − 𝑦0 = 16.07𝑡 − 4.9 𝑡 2
To find t we use the following formula,
Given 𝑣0 = 25 𝑚/𝑠 ; 𝜃0 = 400
𝑥 − 𝑥0 = (𝑣0 cos 𝜃0 ) 𝑡
𝑥 − 𝑥0 = 𝑑 = 22 𝑚
𝑥 − 𝑥0 22 22

Therefore,
𝑦 − 𝑦0 = 16.07 1.149 − 4.9 1.149 2 = 18.46 − 6.469 = 11.99 𝑚
(b) We know 𝑣𝑥 = 𝑣0𝑥 = 𝑣0 cos 𝜃0 = 25 cos 400 = 25 0.766 = 19.15 𝑚/𝑠

Let’s Practice !!
1. [Chap 4 - problem 21]: A dart is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s
toward point P, the bull’s-eye on a dart board. It hits at point Q on the rim, vertically
below P, 0.19 s later. (a)What is the distance PQ? (b) How far away from the dart
board is the dart?
2. [Chap 4 - problem 24]: In the 1991 World Track and Field Championships in Tokyo,
Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m, breaking by a full 5 cm the 23-year long-jump record
set by Bob Beamon. Assume that Powell’s speed on takeoff was 9.5 m/s (about
equal to that of a sprinter) and that g = 9.80 m/s2 in Tokyo. How much less was
Powell’s range than the maximum possible range for a particle launched at the
same speed?
3. [Chap 4 - problem 29]: A projectile’s launch speed is five times its speed at
maximum height. Find launch angle 𝜽𝟎 .
4. [Chap 4 - problem 36]: During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 23.6 m/s,
with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.37 m above the court
surface. The net is 12 m away and 0.90 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a)
does the ball clear it and (b) what is the distance between the center of the ball and
the top of the net? Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it
leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, (c)
does the ball clear it and (d) what now is the distance between the center of the ball
and the top of the net?
