A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 13.5 m/s at an angle θ = 32° a

bove horizontal. Assume the ball encounters no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position.
(a) Create an expression for the football’s horizontal velocity, vfx, when caught by a receiver in terms of v0, θ, g, and h.

(b) The receiver catches the football at the same height as released by the quarterback. Create an expression for the time, t f, the football is in the air in terms of v0, θ, g, and h.

(c) The receiver catches the ball at the same vertical height above the ground it was released. Calculate the horizontal distance, d in meters, between the receiver and the quarterback.

Answer:

a)    x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

b)    t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c)    x = 16.7 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity

        sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

        cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo

         v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s

         v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s

a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant

         v₀ₓ = x / t

          x = v₀ₓ t

the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

          t = v_{o} sin θ / g

         

we substitute

       x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)

       x = v₀² /g      2 cos θ sin θ

       x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,

b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time

at the highest point the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          v_{y} = 0

           t = v_{oy} / g

           t = v₀ sin θ / g

as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is

           t_total = 2 t

           t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c) we calculate

          x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8

          x = 16.7 m

You exert of force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can't budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did
sergiy2304 [10]
You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move

sertanlavr [38]
There is a gel (agarose) that is placed in abuffer-filled box and an electrical field is applied via a power supply. The negative terminal is at the far end (black wire), this causes DNA migrates toward the anode (red wire).
