- A student throws a water balloon at an initial angle 0 above the horizontal with an initial speed vo from a height of h. The target is located on the ground at a horizontal distance d 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.. Vo = y m/s h d Given numeric values for the variables in the problem statement, 0 = 22.7, h = 2.06 m, and d = 8.54 m, determine the magnitude, in meters per second, of the balloon's initial velocity.

The enemy's car is 17.0 m in front of the Indy's when he lets go of the grenade. A If Indy throws the grenade so its initial velocity relative to him is at an angle of 45 ∘ above the horizontal, what should the magnitude of the initial velocity be? The cars are both traveling in the same direction on a level road. You can ignore air resistance.

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.arrow_forward
