A football quarterback is moving straight backwards at a speed of 2.9m/s when he throws a pass to a player 22 m straight downfield. The ball is thrown at an angle of 21 degrees relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released. What is magnitude of the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback in m/s? What angle above the horizontal does the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback make? Give your answer in degrees.

A game requires that two children each throw a ball upward as high as possible from point O and then run horizontally in opposite directions away from O. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground wins. If child A throws a ball upward with a speed of v1 = 59 ft/sec and immediately runs leftward at a constant speed of vA = 14 ft/sec while child B throws the ball upward with a speed of v2 = 56 ft/sec and immediately runs rightward with a constant speed of vB = 16 ft/sec, which child will win the game? Calculate the distances sA and sB that each child travels while the respective ball is in the air.

A baseball is hit into the air at an initial speed of v0 = 25.6 m/s at angle ? = 60o above the horizontal. At the same time the ball is hit, an outfielder starts running towards the batter and catches the ball at the same level it was hit. ?he outfielder is initially L = 91.7 m from home plate. 1) Find the average speed of the outfielder. Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 18 m/s at an angle 38 degrees; with respect to the horizontal.
