SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving projectile motion problems involving a water balloon, a baseball throw, and a rocket launch. The water balloon, thrown at 20 m/s from a height of 25 m at a 30-degree angle, strikes another building 20 m away at a height of 6.9 m. The baseball, thrown horizontally from 3 ft above the ground at 85 m/hr, lands 73 ft from first base. The rocket, launched at 70 degrees with an acceleration of 46 m/s², reaches a maximum height of 10,500 m and impacts the ground at 1,513 m/s after 309 seconds of flight.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of projectile motion equations
  • Knowledge of kinematic equations for constant acceleration
  • Familiarity with conversion between metric and imperial units
  • Basic principles of free fall and parabolic trajectories
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the kinematic equations for projectile motion
  • Learn how to convert units between metric and imperial systems
  • Explore the effects of air resistance on projectile motion
  • Investigate advanced topics in parabolic motion and trajectory optimization
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, engineers working on projectile dynamics, and anyone involved in sports science or motion analysis.

A water balloon is thrown at 20m/s from the roof of a building 25m high at an angle of 30 degrees below horizontal. At what height above ground wil alloon strike side of another building 20m away from first? 6.9m

A third baseman wishes to throw to first bas, 127 ft distant. His best trhrowing speed is 85 m/hr (g = -32 ft/s). If he throws horizontally 3 ft above the ground, how far from first base will it hit the ground? (1 mi/hr = 1.467 ft/s) 73 ft

and

A rocket is launched form rest and moves in a straight line at 70 degrees above the horizontal with an accel of 46 m/s^2. After 30 s the engines shut off and the rocket free-falls back to Earth in a parabolic path. Assume no air resistance.
Find the time of flight. 309s
What is max height. 10500 m
What is distance from launch pad to impact point? 13900
What velocity does rocket hit ground with? 1513 m/s @ -72 degrees

ive tried them all and i just can't get the right answer. this is driving me crazy

It will be easier to find where you have gone wrong if you show us what you have done.
