In a relief operation mission involving a helicopter h distance above the ground traveling with a horizontal velocity vy. What should be the expression for the horizontal distance dy at which you release the relief package so that it will arrive to the survivors at the right place? (Neglect the effect of air resistance) Solution To determine this, we must first derive the time it takes for the relief package to reach the survivors. We use this equation h = Vinitialyt + (1/2)ay If we just drop the package from the helicopter, the equation above becomes + (1/2)ay Substituting ay = g then simplitying results to t= sgrt( which is the time it takes for the object to reach the ground. Since the package will just travel at a constant velocity in the x-axis, thus dx = Vxt Substituting the time taken by the package to reach to ground results to: dy ( ( sart ( which is the expression for the horizontal distance at which you should drop the package.
garden hose sprays a burst of water horizontally from 1.6 m above level ground. It hits a fence 2.1 m away, horizontally, at a height 0.93 m above the ground. What was the initial speed of the burst of water?
A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s and 25.0º angle below horizontal from a height of 12.0 m. How far can the cannonball go horizontally when it lands on the ground, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. (Hint: Clearly label quantities along x- and y- components and write down all steps.)
A hunter spots a duck flying a given distance, h, above the ground (in meters) and shoots at it with his shotgun. The buckshot leaves the shotgun at an angle equal to 57.7 degrees from the horizontal with a velocity of 105 m/s. The duck is flying at a speed of 30 m/s in a horizontal direction toward the hunter. If the hunter shot when the duck was 200 meters away from the hunter and hit the duck, how high was the duck flying?
A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 17 m/s at an angle θ = 27 ° below horizontal. The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?
The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 4 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 25.5 m/s is h = 4 + 25.5t − 4.9t2 after t seconds. When does the projectile meet its maximum height and what is its maximum height?

You hit a golf ball from the (level) ground, with an initial speed and an initial angle. Ignore air resistance. (This is very unrealistic.) The initial speed is v0 = 23.7 m/s, and the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 46o. Calculate vx0, the initial horizontal component of velocity (in m/s). What equations describe the trajectory of the golf ball?
