Why is the following situation impossible? Albert Pujols hits a home run so that the baseball just clears the top row of bleachers, 24.0 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at 41.7 m/s at an angle of 35.08 to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible.

The citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) km

A military cargo plane is passing over a remote area of wilderness  where it cannot make a safe landing. instead of landing the cargo it's dropped. The plane is flying at 284m/s horizontally at an altitude of 584m. How far out in front of the landing target should the cargo be let out the back of the plane?

For safety reasons, park rangers decide to start an avalanche on a mountain slope.  They fire an artillery shell at an angle of 520 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 295 m/s.  Thirty seconds later they see the explosion.  What is the x coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to the firing point?

A bunch of bananas is launched from a cannon with an initial speed of 120m/s at an angle of 55.0 degrees above the horizontal. The cannon is on the edge of a building that is 50.0m high. FInd:  a) The time it is in the air b) The horizontal range of the projectile

A baseball is hit from a height of 1.0 m at an angle of 27 degrees above the ground. It just barely clears a fence that is 4.0 m tall and 122 m away. What was the initial speed of the ball when it was hit? (ignore air resistance)

A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, hb = 6.40 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.70 m high, to form a 1.3-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of ? = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.   (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. m/s = (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. m =(c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. m =

a fireman d=31.0 m away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level hose at an angle of 0i=26.0 degrees above the horizontal. if the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is vi=40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building?

An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. It is 4.00 m west and 12.0 m above the center of the 30 cm diameter nest and is flying east at 4.00 m/s at an angle 25° below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Will it fall into the nest?   Find out by solving for the horizontal position of the mouse (measured from the point of release) when it has fallen the 12.0 m.

A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. It is fired at an angle of 37 degrees with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 36 m/s. Air resistance is negligible in this situation. Call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction. Maximum height the projectile reaches: 23.948m Projectile speed at max height: 28.751m/s Earliest time when the height of the projectile is half of its maximum value: 0.648s The projectile is fired toward a wall that is a horizontal distance 106.6m from where the projectile was fired. What was the height of the projectile when it hit the wall?
