A projectile is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 30 m/s in thehorizontal direction. If the top of the building is 30 m above the ground, a) how long isthe projectile in the air? b) With what speed and angle will the projectile be moving justbefore it strikes the ground? (Hint: final speed = 38.6 m/s)
A balloonist, riding in the basket of a hot air balloon that is rising vertically with a constant velocity of 19.0 m/s, releases a sandbag when the balloon is 42.9 m above the ground. Ignoring air resistance, what is the bag’s speed when it hits the ground?
answer in m/s
