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!)

You are attacking your enemy’s castle and prepare your catapult to launch a large stone at the castle wall. Asyour clan’s engineer, it is up to you to calculate the correct distance from the wall to fire your catapult. Youknow that the projectile will be launched from the catapult 8.2 m above the ground at a velocity of 40 m/s atan angle of 46◦ above the horizontal, and you want to hit the castle wall 3.0 m above the ground, where theprojectile will do the most damage. How far from the wall should your catapult be positioned?
