San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal is trying to shoot t-shirts into the crowd at Oracle Park. Lou wants to deliver a t-shirt into the hands of a fan standing 40 m away horizontally but 16 n above the launch point. If he angles the t-shirt cannon 45° above the horizontal, what speed does he cannon need to launch at to get the t-shirt to the fan? (You can ignore air resistance in this oroblem, although in the real world air resistance would be a significant consideration!)

A rescue plane drops a box of relief goods to the flood survivors. The plane is travelling horizontally at 42 m at a - S height of 0.120 km above the ground. Where will the box hit the ground relative to the initial position where it was released?
A catapult is placed 100 feet from the castle wall, which is 35 feet high. The soldier wants the burning bale of hay to clear the top of the wall and land 50 feet inside a castle wall. If the initial velocity of the bale is 70 feet per second, then at what angle should the bale of hay be launched so that it travels 150 feet and pass over the castle wall. Use g=32ft/s^2.
A minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole. There is a small obstacle in the way, so the ball cannot simply roll to the hole –it must go up in the air. The player is able to shoot with an initial speed v0 = 7 m/s. The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.

Imagine a firework has a fuse designed so that it explodes at the highest point of its trajectory, and it's launched with an initial speed of 60 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees to the horizontal. What height h it explodes at? (Answer in cm and 4 decimal places) Thank you!
During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 23.6 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.60 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? (b) Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Enter a positive number if the ball clears the net. If the ball does not clear the net, your answer should be a negative number. Use g=9.81 m/s?. Please explain step by step with drawing.. thank you.
Roger Federer is about to do his smooth, classical and effortless serve to Rafael Nadal in Australian open final. The ball is shot horizontally from a height of 3.0 m above the ground level of a tennis court, and 6.3 m from the net. The net is of height 0.9 m. Assume the ball only travels along the centreline of the court. The situation is shown in the Figure below. B 0.9 m VA 6.3 m 3.0 m |▬▬▬st Determine the horizontal velocity V₁ of the ball at point A so that it clears the net without touching it at point B. Also calculate the distances where the ball strikes the ground. Note: Show your workings for each part of the question. Provide your answer to 2 decimal places.
You are working on your tennis serve. You stand 15m away 1m high net, and you serve the ball from a height of 2m. You serve the ball at 18m/s at an angle of 10 degrees above the horizontal. Ignore the effects of air resistance. Does the ball make it over the net, or does it hit the net? Justify the answer by finding the height of the ball when it reacles the net.
During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. The figure shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle 0 d = 10.0 km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of flight? 32° to the horizontal, from the vent at A in order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 3.40 km and horizontal distance (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
In the Marvel comic series X-Men, Colossus would sometimes throw Wolverine toward an enemy in what was called a fastball special. Suppose Colossus throws Wolverine at an angle of 0 = 33.2° with respect to the ground (see figure below). Wolverine is d = 2.05 m above the ground when he is released, and he leaves Colossus's hands with a speed of v, = 21.5 m/s. (a) Using conservation of energy and the components of the initial velocity, find the maximum height attained by Wolverine during the flight. (b) Using conservation of energy, what is Wolverine's speed the instant before he hits the ground? m/s
