A woman stands at a horizontal distance x from a mountain and measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop above the horizontal as θ. After walking a distance d closer to the mountain on level ground, she finds the angle to be Φ. Find a general equation for the height y of the mountain in terms of d, Φ, and θ, neglecting the height of her eyes above the ground.

Protons are projected with an initial speed Vi = 9.55 km/s from a field-free region through a plane and into a region where a uniform electric field E = —720.1 N/C is present above the plane as shown in Figure P22.26. The initial velocity vector of the protons makes an angle θ with the plane. The protons are to hit a target that lies at a horizontal distance of R= 1.27 mm from the point where the protons cross the plane and enter the electric field. We wish to find the angle θ at which the protons must pass through the plane to strike the target.

(a) What analysis model describes the horizontal motion of the protons above the plane?

(b) What analysis model describes the vertical motion of the protons above the plane?

(c) Argue that Equation 4.20 would be applicable to the protons in this situation.

(d) Use Equation 4.20 to write an expression for R in terms of Vi, E, the charge q and mass m of the proton, and the angle θ.

(e) Find the two possible values of the angle θ.

(f) Find the time interval during which the proton is above the plane in Figure P22.26 for each of the two possible values of θ.

During a baseball game, a baseball is struck at ground level by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial velocity v0 = 46 m/s at an angle = 22° above horizontal. Let the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system be the ball's position the instant it leaves the bat. Air resistance may be ignored throughout this problem. 

Part (a) Express the magnitude of the ball's initial horizontal velocity v0x, in terms of v0 and
