I'm new here, and I don't know how to do these homework problems.
1. Katie Bell of the Gryffindor Quidditch team is flying level with the Slytherin goal posts at 25 m/s at the same height as the middle hoop. She throws the ball toward the goal with and additional 15 m/s velocity at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal. She scores. How far away is she when she throws the Quaffle? _______
2A. Harry sees Draco Malfoy and his father walking on the Hogwarts grounds while he is flying on his Thunderbolt. He happens to have a bag of Dungbombs in his pocket and decided he will drop them on them. If he is flying at 42 m/s and is 150 m in the air when he let's them fall from his hand, how far away should he be (horizontally) when he let's them drop? Assume no air resistance and complete free fall. __________
2B. How long does it take the Dungbombs to hit the Malfoys? ________
2C. What is the velocity and direction at which the Dungbombs impact? _________
Yes, my physics teacher is a big Harry Potter fan :) Thanks!
