1) A spider is placed at the origin (0,0) of a piece of graph paper. It crawls 9.0 cm at
an angle of 0o, 5.0 cm at an angle of 90o, and finally 7.0 cm at an angle of 200o.
a. (4 pts) Draw a reasonable sketch of these movements on a piece of graph
paper.
b. (2 pts) What distance did the spider travel?
c. (3 pts) What is the final displacement of the spider after the three
movements?
2) An arrow is shot from a height of 7.6 meters with an initial speed of 97.5 m/s at
horizontally and then strikes and sticks in a tree in its path. The tree is 90.0 m from
the launch site. Neglect any aerodynamic effects and air resistance in answering the
questions that follow.

d. (3 pts) How long is the arrow in flight (in seconds) if the tree is 90.0 m
away from the cliff?
e. (3 pts) How high above the ground will the arrow stick in the tree?

e. How is it possible to have the same initial velocity and angle reach the
same height with two different ranges? Be detailed here
f. If you had to kick a fifth time from 30 meters what could you do
differently to hit the board 2.0 meters up? Be specific.
4) A ball is launched at an angle of 35o from the ground with an initial velocity of 15
m/s on a planet with no atmosphere and a gravity of -10m/s2.
a. What is the magnitude and direction of the balls vertical acceleration
i. while it is moving upward?
ii. when it is at its greatest height?
iii. when it is moving downward?
b. What is the magnitude of the balls horizontal acceleration
i. while it is moving upward?
ii. when it is at its greatest height?
iii. when it is moving downward?
c. What is the balls vertical velocity
i. when it is at its highest point?
ii. an instant before it hits the ground?
d. Complete a ROUGH Sketch the balls graph for

6b. A friend who is competing in the long jump asks you to explain the physics of this
event. What advice do you give your friend about the jumping angle? Why?
Include a diagram of your friends take off with as much information as you can
think of
6c. A zoologist, standing on a cliff on an island free of air resistance, aims a tranquilizer gun at a
monkey hanging from a distant tree branch. The barrel of the gun is horizontal. Just as the
zoologist pulls the trigger, the monkey lets go of the branch and begins to fall. Will the dart hit
the monkey? Why or why not?
