A circus performer stands on a platform and throws an apple from a height of 37.0 m above the ground with an initial velocity vo as shown in the figure below. A second, blindfolded performer must catch the apple. If vo = 30.0 m/s, how far from the end of the platform should the second performer stand? (Assume 0 = 35.0°.) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. m

An airplane flying horizontally with a speed of 500 km/h at a height of 800 m drops a crate of supplies (see the following figure). If the parachute fails to open, how far in front of the release point does the crate hit the ground?
A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at = 15.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.52. The slope where she will land is inclined downward at = 50.0, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included.

Projectile. A cannonball is catapulted toward a castle. The cannonball’s velocity when it leaves the catapult is 40 m/s at an angle of 370 with respect with the horizontal and the cannonball is 7.0 m above the ground at that time. (a) What is the maximum height above the ground reached by the cannonball? (b) Assuming the cannonball makes it over the castle walls and lands back down on the ground, at what horizontal distance from its release point will it land? (c) What are the x and y components of cannonball’s velocity just before it lands? The y-axis points up.
In a circus, a “human cannonball” is launched from a cannon and lands in a net. The cannon releases him at the same height as the net. His initial velocity is 18.3 m/s in a direction 40.0° above the horizontal. a) For how much time will he be in the air? b) How far does he travel horizontally? c) What is the velocity upon impact? The circus manager from the previous question wants to make the stunt more dramatic by firing the stuntman through a hoop 9.0 m high then land in a safety net at the same height as the cannon. The cannon’s angle is changed to 45.0° and the velocity is increased to   21.0 m/s. The manager needs to know where to place the hoop and safety net. a) How far from the cannon should the safety net be placed? b) What is the time required to reach the height of the hoop? c) How far from the cannon should the hoop be placed?

A ball is thrown from a rooftop with an initial downward velocity of magnitude vo = 4.9 m/s. The rooftop is a distance above the ground, h = 29 m. In this problem use a coordinate system in which upwards is positive. A: Find the vertical component of the velocity, vfy, in meters per second, with which the ball hits the ground. B: If we wanted the ball's final speed to be exactly 27.3 m/s, from what height, hnew (in meters), would we need to throw it with the same initial velocity? c: If the height is fixed at 29 m, but we wanted the ball's final speed to be 32.7 m/s, what would the vertical component of the initial velocity viy need to be, in meters per second?
