An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. It is 4.00 m west and 12.0 m above the center of the 30 cm diameter nest and is flying east at 3.50 m/s at an angle 26° below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Will it fall into the nest? Find out by solving for the horizontal position of the mouse (measured in meters from the point of release) when it has fallen the 12.0 m.

You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?

During a fireworks display, a shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 91.55 m/s at an angle of theta degrees above the horizontal. The fuse is timed to 8.21 seconds for the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. If the horizontal displacement of the shell is 149.68 meters when it explodes, what is the height (in unit of meters) when the shell explodes? You must use g = 9.8 m/s2.
