Suppose you are experimenting with snowballs to determine your maximum throwing range (i.e. the largest horizontal distance from start to finish that a thrown snowball can travel). You throw the ball with the initial speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. Assuming that the snowball leaves your hand at a height of 2 m and that the ground is flat, how far from you does the snowball hit the ground? You are on earth, so the acceleration due to gravity is -10 m/s2. You may ignore air resistance. Show your work.

A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
A friend of yours has a one story house with a pool in the backyard. Someone gets the bright idea to jump from the roof of the house into the deep end of the pool. a) If the roof of the house is 16 ft tall and the horizontal distance between the edge of the house and the pool is 10 ft, what would the jumper's minimum velocity need to be to land in the pool? b) Let's assume your friend can jump with an initial horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s. What is their total velocity when they hit the water? (hint: determine both the x and y velocity components, find the resultant)
An archer aims at a target a horizontal distance 55 m away and 5.0 m above the ground. The archer launches her arrow from of height of 1.5 m off the ground, and the arrow hits the target. The arrow is completely horizontal after sticking to the target (i.e., the arrow was traveling horizontally just before hitting the target). What was the initial speed of the arrow?
A ball is thrown 35° from the vertical, and the player's distance is 14 feet from the ball ring. Upon the ball's release, it has a distance of 7 feet measured from the ground and 1 feet away from the player. What is the velocity at release if the height of the ring is 10 feet?
An airplane drops a package. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40 m/s (so the initial velocity of the package is 40m/s horizontally) at a height of 100m above the ground. How long is the package in the air? Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the package before it hits the ground
You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?
A ball is thrown on a roof. The ball is thrown at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal and at a speed of 22 m/s. The ball rises to a max height before falling on the roof 4.2 meters above the level from which it was thrown. What is the total amount of time the ball spends in the air in seconds and what is the horizontal distance in meters between the balls launching point and ending point?
A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a golf ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the golf ball with a velocity of 20.5 m/s at an angle of 40.5° above the horizontal. When the golf ball leaves her hand, it is 18.5 m above the water. How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. horizontal distance: m
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what initial velocity (in m/s) would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7 m/s2. (Assume the volcano is radially symmetric and the summit is at its center. Enter the magnitude.)
Rory McIIroy launches a golf ball at ground level with an initial speed of 65 m/s at an angle of 20° above the horizontal. It strikes a flying drone above the ground 4 seconds later. What are the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) distances in meters from where the golf ball was launched to where it hits the flying drone?
A cannonball is shot (from ground level) with an initial horizontal velocity of 37 m/s and an initial vertical velocity of 30 m/s. How far from where it was shot will the cannonball land? Your Answer:
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?
