Consider a projectile on Earth, where +z is vertically upward. A cannon that is 1.50 m tall sits on the edge of a 50.0 m tall cliff oriented to fire in the +x direction. The cannon fires a 6.50 kg cannonball with an initial velocity of 110 m/s at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance.

You are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding an island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 105 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct…
You need to get into your fourth-floor apartment, but you have forgotten your key to the main
ground floor door of the building. You call up to your lazy roommate to come down and let you
in, but he says he will throw the keys down to you instead.
The window that he throws the keys out of is 13 meters above the ground, and he chucks them
with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal.
The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s?.
How far back from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys?
