The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a projectile are 64.6 m/s and 82.7 m/s, respectively. If it is projected from a height of 65 m above the ground, how long does it take the projectile to rise the highest point of its trajectory?[Assume that g = 9.8 m/s*).

An archer shoots an arrow at a 40 degrees angle to the horizontal. At the top of its motion, the arrow just clears a 67 m high oak tree. How fast was the arrow going when it left the bow? (Assume it was shot from a height of 1.0 m above the ground.) How far away is the archer from the tree?
During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 222 m. with a constant velocity of 44.0m / s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground? Answer in m (rounded to the nearest whole number)
