Assume: A178 g basketball is launched at an angle of 53.7 and a distance of 11 m from the basketball goal. The ball is released at the same height (ten feet) as the basketball goal's height. A basketball player tries to make a long jump-shot as described above. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². What speed must the player give the ball? Answer in units of m/s.

Question Completion Status: A bullet is fired at an initial velocity of 130 m/s horizontally (0 degrees) at the top of a 123 m tall puilding. Neglecting air resistance, determine the velocity in m/s with which the bullet will hit the ground. Use the value of the gravity in 2 decimal place. Use up to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Do not assume that this is the same problem as the previous question. The numerical values for each question are different.
A 5.0 G bullet is fired horizontally from a gun that is 4.5 M from the ground. The bullet travels at 1500 m/s and strikes a tree 200 m away. How long does it take the bullet to strike the tree? How far up the tree from the ground does the bullet it? (Neglect air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s^2)
A 0.2 kg rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 7.56 m/s at an angle 58° above the horizontal. Due to gravity, the rock strikes the ground at a horizontal distance of 10 m from the base of the building. Assume: The ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical.

An airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of ℎ=275 mh=275 m as shown in the figure. If the ball lands on the ground a horizontal distance equal to the height ℎh from the release point, calculate the speed ?v of the plane. Neglect any effects due to air resistance, and use ?=9.81 m/s2g=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
