Two friends are playing catch. They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for time
An Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to a stranded party of explorers. If the plane is travelling horizontally at 40m/s at a height of 100 m above the ground (a) where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? (b) what are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground.
Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
A helicopter wants to drop supplies to isolated mountain climber on a rocky ridge 235m below. If the plane is traveling horizontally with a speed of 250km/h (69.4 m/s) a. How far in advance of the recipients (horizontal distance) must the goods be dropped? b. Suppose, instead, that the plane releases the supplies a horizontal distance of 425m in advance of the mountain climbers. What vertical velocity (up or down) should the supplies be given so that they arrive precisely at the climber’s position? c. With what speed do the supplies land in the latter?
"A person stands on the ground 60m away from a cliff with a height h. They throw a ball toward the cliff with a speed of vp = 30 m/s and an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on top edge of the cliff some time later. How high is the cliff, and what is the ball's impact speed?"
An airplane is dropping bales of hay to cattle stranded in a blizzard on the Great Plains. The pilot releases the bales at 150 m above the level ground when the plane is flying at 75 m>s in a direction 55° above the horizontal. How far in front of the cattle should the pilot release the hay so that the bales land at the point where the cattle are stranded?
Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to stranded hikers. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s at a height of 100 m above the ground. Neglect air resistance. (a) Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground? (c) What is the angle of the impact?
A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 1000 m/s at an angle of 370 above the horizontal. If air is neglected, the horizontal component of the projectile's velocity after 20 s is: O 16 m/s O 640 m/s O 800 m/s O 600 m/s

A diver leaves a 3-m board on a trajectory that takes her 2.8 m above the board and then into the water a horizontal distance of 2.9 m from the end of the board. At what speed did she leave the board, and at what angle did she leave the board?
A lifeguard stands on top of a watch tower at the beach and purposely throws a stone horizontally with a speed of vi=18.0 m/s. The height of the tower is 50.0 m above the ground. With what speed does the stone land? How long after being released does the stone strike ground? With what angle of impact does the stone land?
