Question
A shot-putter throws the shot ( mass = 7.3 kg) with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at a 36.0 ∘ angle to the horizontal.
Calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the shot if it leaves the athlete's hand at a height of 1.90 mm above the ground.

- A parent at a Little League game returns a foul ball by throwing it back onto the field. When the parent throws the ball back, she is standing and ends up releasing the ball from a point that is 2.50m above the ground. Your best guess is that she threw the ball upward at an angle of 60o with respect to the ground and it landed 13m away from her.
