A boy stands on a fishing pier and tosses a pebble into a pond. The pebble is thrown from a height of 2.50 m above the water surface with a velocity of 4.50 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. As the pebble strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down to exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water. After the pebble enters the water, it moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when it struck the water. If the pond is 4.60 m deep, how much time elapses (in s) between when the pebble is thrown and when it strikes the bottom of the pond?

A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height H of 31.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle θ above the horizontal with an unknown speed v0. What is the vertical component of the rock's velocity at its maximum height?
A stone is thrown from the top of a building upward at an angle of 60.0* to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 24.0 m/s. If the height of the building is 45.0 m. (a) how long is it before the stone hits the ground?(b) What is the speed of the stone just before it strikes the ground?(c) Where ?does the stone strike the ground
The drawing shows two planes each dropping an empty fuel tank. At the moment of release each plane has the same speed of 166 m/s, and each tank is at the same height of 2.68 km above the ground. Although the speeds are the same, the velocities are different at the instant of release, because one plane is flying at an angle of 15.0° above the horizontal and the other is flying at an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane A. Find the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane B. In each part, give the direction as a positive angle with respect to the horizontal.
Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s at an angle of 30°, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims a distance L under water at a speed of 3.70 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver. Determine the average speed of the fish.
A cart is moving with a constant horizontal velocity of 5.00 m/s. A small pebble is launched from the front of the cart with a velocity of 8.00 m/s at 60.0° above the horizontal as measured relative to the cart (see figure) and experiences no significant air resistance. Cart 60° 8.00 m/s -5.00 m/s Just as the pebble returns to the level from which it was launched, what is its distance from the front of the cart? How far did the pebble travel from its launch point relative to the ground.
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 player hits a baseball, which has an initial velocity of 42 m/s. At the moment the ball is hit with the bat, the height of the baseball will be 0.22 m. The distance from the point of contact to the wall is 170 m. The baseball has an angle of 40 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The player will get a home run, if he or she hits the baseball pass the wall. The height of the wall is 6m. \\ a) Will the player get a homerun? if so, the by how much does the baseball clear the wall? b) Now assume that the wall is completely removed. Find the horizontal range and maximum height of the baseball. Also assume that the path of the baseball is symmetrical, so it lands at a location that is 0.22 m above the ground.
Irina, standing on the edge of a cliff, throws a stone at a 40-degree angle above the horizontal with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 63 m/s. If Irina were to throw the other rock at a 40-degree angle below the horizontal from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground? Ignore any effects of air resistance
On a beautiful spring day, Juan is playing a round of golf. He hits the golfball with an initial velocity of 37 m/s at an angle of 27.4°. If it hits the ground 5.8s later, how far does it travel? Ignore air resistance. Answer: m
A fox fleeing from a hunter encounters a 0.770 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.30 m/s at an angle of 45.0°, beginning the jump 1.93 m from the fence. By how much does the fox clear the fence? Treat the fox as a particle.
A ball is located on the edge of a table . The ball is pushed, horizontally, and now has an initial velocity of 3 m/s. The ball then falls to the ground covering a horizontal distance of 5 m. Find the initial height.
