A diver springs upward from a dive platform that is 10.0 meters above the water. At theinstant that she contacts the water her speed is 55.0 km/hr and her body makes an angle of85.0° below the horizontal (i.e., 85.0° below the surface of the water). Determine her initialvelocity vector, both magnitude and direction. Include a complete diagram of the situation.

1. An archer shots an arrow with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° with the archer's hand and the horizontal. If the archer is standing from the edge of 90.0 m tall building, then strikes a target on the ground. Note: The distance of the archer's hand with respect to the edge of the building is 5.0m. Neglect air resistance. Let the archer's hand be y=0. Find: a. The time taken by the arrow to hit the target at the ground level. b. The distance of the target from the base of the tall building. c. The maximum height reached by the arrow with respect to the archer's hand. d. The horizontal and the vertical component of the arrow's velocity just as it strike the target. e. The magnitude of the velocity and the direction of the arrow just as it strike the target. Problem#1 * Direction: Please indicate your name and section in every photo of your answers.

A daredevil is shot out of a cannon at 45.0° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 28.0 m/s. A net is positioned a horizontal distance of 48.0 m from the cannon. At what height above the cannon should the net be placed in order to catch the daredevil?
A cannon fires a shell with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 59.5° above the horizontal. The shell impacts a mountainside 44.0 s after firing. Let the +x-direction be directly ahead of the cannon and the +y-direction be upward. Find the x- and y-coordinates of the shell's impact point, relative to its firing point (in m).
In my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0. The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ. Any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this problem for quite a while and I am not making progress.
A ball was shot with an initial velocity of 8.5 m/s at an angle 44.76 degrees with respect to the horizontal. It hits a wall that is at a horizontal distance of 0.7 m away from the starting position of the ball. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the ball in m/s when it hits the wall? Express your answer rounded off to two decimal places. Do not include the unit
A basketball is shot from an initial height of 2.40 m (Figure 1) with an initial speed v = 9 m/s directed at an angle θ = 35˚ above the horizontal. How far from the basket was the player if he made a basket? At what angle to the horizontal did the ball enter the basket?
For an interesting physics field trip, we visit Tahquamenon Falls in the Upper Peninsula. We measure the horizontal speed of the water at the top of the falls to be 3.00 m/s. How far vertically below the top edge of the falls does the velocity vector of the water point downward at a 59.3 degrees angle below the horizontal?
A boy decides to propose to his girlfriend in a hot air balloon. They are in the balloon, and it is moving 15 degrees south of east at a velocity 10 m/s relative to the air. When the balloon has a height of 90 m the boy is about to propose to but he drops the ring. The wind is also blowing to the east at 12 m/s relative to the ground. They now need to find the ring. a) What is the horizontal distance ( magnitude and direction) the ring lands on the ground from where it drops out of the balloon? b) What is the final velocity of the ring right before it hits the ground? c) Draw the vertical position vs time graph, velocity vs time graph, and acceleration vs time graph of the ring.
A student throws a water balloon at an initial angle θ = 23° above the horizontal with an initial speed v0 from a height h = 1.52 m. The target is located on the ground at a horizontal distance d = 7.5 m from the student’s feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. Determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
