Aball is thrown forward at 5 m/s. how would the path of the ball differ on earth than on the moon? the ball would follow a curved path on earth but a straight path on the moon. the ball would follow the same curved path on earth as on the moon. the ball would curve down more sharply on earth than on the moon. the ball would curve down on earth but curve up on the moon.

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
