Chapter 4, Problem 59GP
A tennis ball is struck in such a way that it leaves the racket with a speed of 4.87 m/s in the horizontal direction. When the ball hits the court, it is a horizontal distance of 1.95 m from the racket. Find the height of the tennis ball when it left the racket.

An airplane with a speed of 94.1 m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 54.2 degrees with respect to the horizontal. When the planes's altitude is 675m, the pilot releases a package. (a) Calculate the distance along the ground measured from a point directly beneath the point of release, to where the package hits the earth. (b) Relative to the ground, determine the angle of the velocity vector of the package just before the impact.
A soccer player kicked a ball. It launched at an angle of 33.0° from the ground with a speed of 25.5 m/s, and lands back on the ground shortly after. Find the maximum height of the ball
A tennis player serves the ball with an
initial speed of 23.6 m/s, from a height of
2.37 m above the court. If the net is at a
distance of 12 m and has a height of 0.90
m, determine what is indicated in each
section:
a) The angle that the throw must have so
that the ball can pass over the net.
b) The time it takes for the ball to hit the
ground, assuming the person on the other
side of the net fails to return it.
c) If the other person has a height of 1.70
m, and his throw is made at 2.20 m,
indicate in what position he must be in
order to return the ball.
