A basketball player is running at 4.60 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity.    (a)  What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.750 meters above the floor? __________ m/s   (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket? _________ m

A rock is launched over level ground with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal.  What is the projectile’s time of flight?

An object is located initially at an origin. It has acceleration 3.00 m/s2, 90° and velocity 5.00 m/s, 0°. Determine the position (x, y) and the velocity (magnitude and direction) for times 1.00 s, 2.00 s and 3.00 s. Graph the position on an x-y coordinate plane for these times. Include the velocities and acceleration.

Suppose a soccer player kicks the ball from a distance 15 m toward the goal. Find the initial speed of the ball if it just passes over the goal, 2.4 m above the ground, given the initial direction to be 44° above the horizontal. m/s

Dock diving is great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 9.02 m/s at an angle of 25.0° with respect to the surface of the water. Sheba begins at a height of 0.840 m above the surface of the water. What is her total time of flight up until the instant before she hits the water? Express your answer in seconds.

A basketball player is running at 4.60 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.600 meters above the floor? m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket? m

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 36 m/s at an angle 65° above the horizontal. The object hits the ground 8.0 seconds later. Using 9.80 m/s2 for the local acceleration due to gravity, how much higher or lower (in m) is the launch point relative to the point where the projectile hits the ground?

Problem 1: A ball is initially 1.2 m above the ground. The ball is launched horizontally (0 = 0°) and the ball hits the ground after it travels a horizontal distance of 3.5 m. a) How long was the ball in the air? b) What was the initial speed of the ball?

A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.63 m/s at an angle of 79.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.90 m above the table?      m/s

A basketball player is running at 4.50 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.650 meters above the floor?m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?m
