The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is 81.1 m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the United States in 1981. Assuming the initial launch angle was 45° and neglecting air resistance, answer the following. (a) Determine the initial speed of the projectile.m/s(b) Determine the total time the projectile was in flight.s(c) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if the launch angle were greater than 45°? Explain.
During the siege of Constantinople that led to its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453, the Hungarian engineer Orban built a set of bombards (primitive cannon) to throw enormous stones at the city to breach its walls. The largest of these could throw a 300 kg stone a distance x = 2 km. Assume that the stone was launched at an angle of 0 = 45 degrees above the horizontal; in the absence of air resistance, this gives the largest range. a) What speed did the stone have to be launched at to achieve this range? b) How long was the ball in the air? c) How fast was the ball traveling at the apex of its flight?
The world long jump record is 8.95 m (Mike Powell, USA, 1991). Treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range, in meters, obtainable by a person if he or she has a take-off speed of 8.2 m/s? Assume the motion is over level ground and the initial velocity makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.0 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun?

A fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let's neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball's initial location on the y axis is yo = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and voy = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit) Blank 1 Blank 1 Add your answer
An object has an initial velocity of 29.0 m/s at 95.0° and an acceleration of 1.90 m/s2 at 200.0°. Assume that all angles are measured with respect to the positive x-axis.

(b) If the object maintains this acceleration for 12.0 seconds, determine the average velocity vector over the time interval. Express your answer in your unit vector notation.

After 2s passed, a person who stands at the base of the same building throws a separate ball in the upward direction with a speed of 20 m/s. Assumes the two balls are traveling on the same vertical path. Will the two balls collide with each other? If so, what are their velocities as they collide with each other?

A Canon launches a target at 40°. My distance of the x value is 4.60m. My distance for the y value is 1.1670 meters. The distance total is 4.746 meters. The problem is asking me to figure out the time of the object in air.I don't have velocity, I know the velocity initial is more than 0 and that the velocity final is zero. If I want to find time, I would need to use a vector diagram of velocity and use the resultant as my velocity. However, I have no idea what the velocity of Y or velocity of X. I only know that the velocity of X is in equilibrium and is constant as well as knowing that velocity final is zero. Oh yeah also velocity initial is velocity of the x value.
