For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (cl

A pendulum consists of a mass M hanging at the bottom end of a massless rod of length which has a frictionless pivot at its top end. A mass m, moving as shown in Fig. 735 with velocity v, impacts M and becomes embedded. What is the smallest value of v sufficient to cause the pendulum (with embedded m
