SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on solving various two-dimensional motion problems in physics. Key topics include proving that an object thrown upwards with a velocity of 20.0 m/s has the same velocity at 5.0 meters on the way up and down, calculating the time it takes for an icicle to fall onto a car traveling at 14.0 m/s, and determining the horizontal velocity of a tennis ball that lands 35.0 m away from a cruise ship. Additionally, the discussion covers the horizontal distance a bullet travels when fired from a height of 1.80 meters and the angle of launch for a golf ball that lands 123.0 m away after 6.0 seconds.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of kinematic equations in physics
  • Familiarity with projectile motion concepts
  • Knowledge of basic trigonometry for resolving components
  • Ability to apply gravitational acceleration (g = 9.81 m/s²) in calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study kinematic equations, specifically Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2a(delta X)
  • Learn how to analyze projectile motion, including horizontal and vertical components
  • Explore the concept of free fall and its implications on falling objects
  • Practice solving problems involving angles of launch and range calculations
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for physics exams, educators teaching kinematics, and anyone interested in understanding two-dimensional motion principles.

ok i have a test thursday i need help

1.prove an object thrown upwards with a velocity of 20.0 m/s has the same velocity going up past 5.0 meters as it does falling down past 5.0 meters?

[Vf^2=Vi^2 + 2 (-9.81) delta X] ?

2.A car is driving down a road on a snowy day. The car is traveling at a constant 14.0 m/s and is currently 250.0 metersfrom a tree standing by the side of the road. An incicle 4.0m up from the groun on the tree falls onto the car as it passes. how much time elapsed between the time the car was 250.0 m away from the tree and the moment the icicle landed on the car?

i don't know this one at all i tried

3. A tennis ball rolls off the edge of a cruise ship and lands 35.0 m away from the edge of the ship when it hits the watr. If the ships deck is 31.3 meters above the water what was the balls horizontal velocity?

i used delta y = 1/2 g (deltaT)^2

4. A bullet is fired from a gun help parallel to the gorun. The bullets horizontal velocity is 210.0 m/s If the gun is 1.80 meters above the gound, how far will the bullet travel horizontally before hitting the ground.

5.An athlete in the Olympics throws ashot put. The shot put is in the air for 1.89 seconds and lands 6.7 meters away horizontally. Calculate the intial vertical and horizontal components of the shot puts angular velocity. (horizontal velocity = Vi (cos 0), initialy veritcal = Vi(sin 0)

6. A golf ball lands 123.0 m horizontally away from its position after being stuck. If the ball has an angular velocity of 40.0 m./s and is in the air a total of 6.0 seconds calculate the angle at which the ball was launched

can anyone please just give me the formulas to use then i will try to solve them and then yall can help me from there please and thank you gary shuford

There is more to doing these problems than guessing what formula to use. You need to understand what is going on in the problem. Drawing a diagram helps. You may need to use more than one formula. See what you can do. To figure out what you need, list what you know and what you don't.
