A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second?

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.8m/s, directed at an angle of 59degrees above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.0m above the ground. Let the x-axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches, and when the skateboarder reaches the highest point how far is the point horizontally from the end of the ramp?
