Projectile Motion and Initial Velocity Calculations

Worksheets due Nov 17, 2022 10:00 PST Completed WQ4.7 2/2 points (graded) A small firecracker shell is shot into the air with an initial velocity Do, as shown in the figure below. The fuse is timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point of 22 metres above the ground, at which point it still has a net velocity of 6.4 m/s. yA h x What is the initial speed To of the firecracker? Give your answer in m/s. 21.73 V What is the the launch angle 0% of the firecracker? Give your answer in degrees. 72.87 V Submit Hint Show answer WQ4.8 1/1 point (graded) Consider the basketball player making the shot depicted in the figure below. -h= 3.05 m 0= 510% 20 d = 4.19m What is the initial speed of the ball if the player launches it from an initial height of 2.0 m? Give your answer in m/s. Uso g = 9.8 m/ s2. 7.3 V 7.3
