A ball is thrown on a roof. The ball is thrown at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal and at a speed of 22 m/s. The ball rises to a max height before falling on the roof 4.2 meters above the level from which it was thrown.
What is the total amount of time the ball spends in the air in seconds and what is the horizontal distance in meters between the balls launching point and ending point?
A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.8m/s, directed at an angle of 59degrees above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.0m above the ground. Let the x-axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches, and when the skateboarder reaches the highest point how far is the point horizontally from the end of the ramp?
Problem 5: A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball from a horizontal distance of
9.7 m from the goal, and the ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. The launch angle was
29.1 degrees above horizontal.
What was the initial speed of the ball, in m/s?

- The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 59° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 14 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?arrow_forwardIn your Christmas Party, one of the games is Egg Catching. Suppose You throw the egg at a 45° angle to your friend standing 30.5 m away. Your friend's hand aim to catch your egg at 1.5 m above the ground.
