A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at a 30° angle above the horizontal. Calculate the maximum height achieved by the projectile.
A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
A baseball player hits a home run, and the ball lands in the left-field seats, y = 6.40 m above the point at which it was hit. It lands with a velocity of v = 30.0 m/s at an angle of 28° below the horizontal (see the Figure). The positive directions are upward and to the right in the drawing. Ignoring air resistance, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the initial velocity with which the ball leaves the bat.

Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle ? with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(?)) and y = h + (v0 sin ?)t - 16t2.Let h=6, v0=63.25, and ?=0.79. What is the range of the projectile (i.e., how far does it travel? Round your answers to two decimal places).

A baseball player hits a home run, and the ball lands in the left-field seats, y = 7.70 m above the point at which it was hit. It lands with a velocity of v = 35.0 m/s at an angle of 28° below the horizontal (see the Figure). The positive directions are upward and to the right in the drawing. Ignorin air resistance, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the initial velocity with which the ball leaves the bat. +y voy 28° y=7.70m VOI v 35.0m/s
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.)
