Suppose that a shot putter can put a shot at the worldclass speed 15.00 m/s and at a height of 2.160 m.What horizontal distance would the shot travel if the launch angle is (a) 45.00° and (b) 42.00°? The answers indicate that the angle of 45°, which maximizes the range of projectile motion, does not maximize the horizontal distance when the launch and landing are at different heights.

Question

Suppose that a shot putter can put a shot at the worldclass
speed 15.00 m/s and at a height of 2.160 m.What horizontal
distance would the shot travel if the launch angle is
(a) 45.00° and (b) 42.00°? The answers indicate that the angle of
45°, which maximizes the range of projectile motion, does not maximize
the horizontal distance when the launch and landing are at
different heights.

A golfer tees off from the top of a rise, giving the golf ball an initial velocity of 43.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The ball strikes the fairway a horizontal distance of 180 m from the tee. Assume the fairway is level. (a) How high is the rise above the fairway? (b) What is the speed of the ball as it strikes the fairway?
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.)

You are attacking your enemy’s castle and prepare your catapult to launch a large stone at the castle wall. Asyour clan’s engineer, it is up to you to calculate the correct distance from the wall to fire your catapult. Youknow that the projectile will be launched from the catapult 8.2 m above the ground at a velocity of 40 m/s atan angle of 46◦ above the horizontal, and you want to hit the castle wall 3.0 m above the ground, where theprojectile will do the most damage. How far from the wall should your catapult be positioned?
