Homework Statement
Spanish galleon is about to be boarded by bloodthirsty pirates in the
shallows of a Caribbean island. To save a box of treasure on board, the
captain orders his crew to secretly toss the box overboard, planning to come
back for it later. The rectangular box is waterproof and...
awesome thanks! I figured it out after aziz pointed out my error for part a.
thank you for your help! its just a quadratic equation. lol i can't believe it took me this long to figure this out.
i just realized what i did. i was solving for t when the ball reached maximum height when i was supposed to set the height to 5. thanks for pointing that out
well the equation for the x component is delta x= x component of the initial velocity * t
and i think, the equation for the y component is --> y component of the final velocity= y component of the initial velocity *t - gt
well the initial velocity is 15 m/s and when the ball lands on the roof, that velocity decreases to 0. the acceleration is constant though.
oh thanks for the note on the notation. i'll clear that up
1. A soccer player kicks a ball at an angle of 50° above the horizontal. The player is 10.0 m from the base of a rectangular building that is 5.0 m high (with a flat roof). The roof is 10.0 m wide. The ball is kicked with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s.
a.Show that the ball will clear the front...
