A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed v. However, a wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the firecracker a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. As a result, the firecracker reaches the ground directly below the student. Determine the height h in terms of v, a, and g. Ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion.

A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of 50.0, giving the ball an initial speed of 38.2 m/s (Fig. P4.60). The ball lands on the elevated green, 5.50 m above the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. a. How much time passed while the ball was in the air? b. How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing? c. What was the peak height reached by the ball? FIGURE P4.60
A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
2. A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed v However, a wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the firecracker a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. This results in the firecracker reaching the ground directly under the student. Determine the height h in terms of a, v and g. You can ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion.
A rock is thrown off a vertical cliff at an angle of 44.5o above horizontal. The cliff is 75.7 m high and the ground extends horizontally from the base. The initial speed of the rock is 18.4 m/s. Neglect air resistance. A: To what maximum height, in meters, does the rock rise above the edge of the cliff? B: How far, in meters, has the rock moved horizontally at the moment it reaches its maximum height? C: How long, in seconds, after being thrown does the rock hit the ground? D: How far from the base of the cliff, in meters, is the landing point of the rock? E: How high above the ground, in meters, is the rock 2.42 s before it hits the ground? F: How far horizontally from the cliff, in meters, is the rock 2.42 s before it hits the ground?
You are standing 5.0 meters from a vertical wall that is 5.0 meters high. You throw a small ball at an angle of 50.0° above the horizontal with a speed of 10.0 m/s. If you release the ball 1.5 meters above the ground, has the ball reached the highest point of its trajectory when it impacts the wall? O There is not enough information to answer the question. O No O Yes

A prankster flips a coin off of the Empire Building at a height of 1054 feet above the ground. The initial vertical velocity of the coin is 1.20m/s. In real life, air resistance would limit the maximum speed the coin can attain during its fall, but if air resistance were not a factor and assuming it has practically no horizontal motion, answer the following questions. (1 foot = 0.3048m) a. What would the coin's velocity be when it hits the ground? b. How long would it take to hit? c. How high would the coin be halfway through the total falling time, and how fast would it be falling then?
A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp, measured from the horizontal, at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). The top of the ramp is at the same height as the roofs of the buses and each bus is 20.0 m long. a. How many buses can he clear? b. By how many meters does he clear the last bus?
