An arrow is aimed horizontally, directly at the center of a target 17.0 m away. The arrow hits 0.080 m below the center of the target. Neglecting air resistance, what was the initial speed of the arrow in m/s?

The pitcher in a softball game throws a ball with an initial velocity v0 of 72 km/h at an angle a with the horizontal. If the height of the ball at point B is 0.68 m, determine (a) the angle a, (b) the angle 0 that the velocity of the ball at point B forms with the horizontal.

A poodle is chasing after a frisbee at the park. The frisbeeis maintaining a height of h = 0.95 m as it passes throughthe air. The poodle leaps into the air, from level groundand with initial speed vi at an angle of θ = 52° above thehorizontal. She catches the frisbee in midair 0.40 s afterjumping. (She has not yet reached the peak of her trajec-tory when she catches the frisbee.) How much horizontaldistance ∆x does she cover between jumping and catchingthe frisbee? For the representation, draw the trajectoriesof the dog and the frisbee, making sure to label all relevantinformation. (Note: feel free include the quantity vi whenstarting out your equation work. But you should find thatyou don’t need to know the value of vi in order to solvethis problem, which is why a value hasn’t been providedfor you.)

A baseball leaves the bat with a speed of 47 m/s and an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. A 5.0 m high fence is located at the horizontal distance of 137 m from the point where the ball is struck. Assuming the ball leaves the bat 1.0 m above ground level, by how much does the ball clear the fence?

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizontally from an elevation 4.0 mm above the ground. The ball lands 30 mm away.

A projectile is launched off of a 19.6 m high building with an initial velocity of 26.4 m/s at an angle of 33.2 degrees relative to the horizontal. What is the speed of the projectile when it reaches it maximum height?

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy “Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor league game. The ball travelled 188m before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. Assuming the ball's initial velocity was in a direction 45° above the horizontal, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 0.9m above ground level? Ignore air resistance.

A soccer player decides that he can make this goal to win the game so he kicks the ball with a speed of 8.5 m/s at an angle of 25.0° above the horizontal.  How long was the ball in the air, assuming that the ball lands on the same level it was kicked.

A projectile is fired from ground level at an angle of 40.0° above horizontal at a speed of 30.0 m/s. What is the speed of the projectile when it has reached a height equal to 0.500 of its maximum height?
