barrel 1.5 meters long, and want to
find out some interesting information
about it. With a test fire, you set the
cannon to 35 degrees from the
ground and fire! The .2 kg potato
launches out of the barrel at 30 m/s!

Four arrows, all with the same shape and size, are shot directly upward. Ignore the effect of air resistance, but the arrows have different masses and are fired with different speeds. Rank them from highest to lowest in terms of the greatest height that they will reach. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)
mass = 0.125 kg, vinitial = 18.0 m/s
mass = 0.0500 kg, vinitial = 16.0 m/s
mass = 0.100 kg, vinitial = 20.0 m/s
mass = 0.0750 kg, vinitial = 22.0 m/s
A child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?
