A lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.63 m/s from the edge of a platform that is 10.0 m above the surface of the water. (a) At what horizontal distance from the edge of the platform is the diver 0.834 s after pushing off? (b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then? (c) At what horizontal distance from the edge of the platform does the diver strike the water?

A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver with an initial speed of 11 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. At that instant the receiver is 15.0 mfrom the quarterback. (a) In what direction should the receiver run in order to catch the football at the level at which it was thrown? The receiver should run in the direction opposite to that in which the football is traveling Or The receiver should run in the direction the football is traveling ? (b) With what constant speed should the receiver run in order to catch the football at the level at which it was thrown? Find m/s
For this problem think about a long jumper who takes off and lands from different heights. This is due to the Center of Gravity being higher when they leave the ground then when they contact the sand. If the jumper has a horizontal distance traveled of 7.5 meters and an initial horizontal velocity 6.1 m/s and a takeoff angle of 30 degrees. How far did the jumper fall vertically from takeoff to landing?
A ball is thrown from the top of a tower at an angle of 40o to the horizontal with an initial speed of 6.60 m/s. During its flight, the only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity. It takes 3.55 s until the ball hits the ground. How tall is the tower?
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.
A baseball is hit with an initial speed of 45 m/s at an angle of 33° relative to the x (horizontal) axis.
