A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a golf ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the golf ball with a velocity of 20.5 m/s at an angle of 40.5° above the horizontal. When the golf ball leaves her hand, it is 18.5 m above the water. How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. horizontal distance: m

For a forensics experiment, a student decides to measure the muzzle velocity of the pellets from his BB gun. She points the gun horizontally. On a vertical wall a distance 47.3 m away from the gun, a target is placed. The shots hit the target a vertical distance 0.10 m below the gun's barrel. What is the initial speed of the pellets?

A volleyball is served at a speed of 13.2 m/s with the player's hand making contact with the ball 2.20 meters above the ground. The ball comes off the hand at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. The net is 10 meters away from where the server strikes the ball and the top of the net is at a height of 2.43 meters above the ground. Will the ball clear the net? By how much does it clear it/miss clearing it? Where does ball reach max height? The back line of the court on the receiving side is 19 meters away from where the server strikes the ball. Does the ball land in bounds? If it does, where does it land?
Johnny is standing on a ladder picking apples in his grandfather’s orchard. As he pulls each apple off the tree, he tosses it into a basket that sits on the ground 3.0 m below at a horizontal distance of 2.0 m from him. How fast must Johnny throw the apple (horizontally) in order for them to land in the basket?
Two friends are playing catch. They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for time
A baseball is thrown from an outfielder to the second baseman on a level field. The ball is in the air for a time At = 3.50 s and travels a horizontal distance of 92.0 m %3D before being caught at the same height it was thrown from. Ignore air resistance. a) What are the x- and y-components of the ball's initial velocity? b) What is the maximum height of the ball? c) When is the ball traveling at an angle of 0 = -26.0°?
