A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a
high building. It has an initial velocity of
and lands on the ground
away from the base of the building. Assuming air resistance is negligible, which of the following changes would cause the range of this projectile to increase?
I. Increasing the initial horizontal velocity
II. Decreasing the mass of the ball
III. Throwing the ball from an identical building on the moon
Water emerges horizontally from a hole in a tank above the ground. If the water hits the ground
from the base of the tank, at what speed is the water emerging from the hole? (Hint: Treat the water droplets as projectiles.)
