A daredevil motorcycle jump spans a horizontal distance of 47.4 m and the landing height is the same as the takeoff height.If the speed at takeoff was 30.3 m/s, then what was the launch angle, in degrees? Ignore air resistance.

It is the case of angular projectile. The maximum horizontal distance traveled is called the range.…

A long jumper can jump a distance of 8.0 m when he takes off at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal. Assuming he can jump with the same initial speed at all angles, how much distance does he lose by taking off at 30°?
A projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?
In the absence of air resistance, a projectile is launched from and returns to ground level. It has a range of 16m. Suppose the launch speed is doubled, and the projectile is fired at the same angle above the ground. What is the new range?
An arrow is shot into the air and reaches its maximum height of 6.00m above the horizontal from which it was shot. On its way back down it lands on a ledge 5.00m above the horizontal from which it was shot and 8.00m horizontally away from the archer. What was the arrow’s initial velocity?
A soccer goal is 2.44 m high. A player kicks the ball from a horizontal distance of 13.4 m from the goal, and the ball hits the crossbar at the top of the goal. The launch angle was 33.9 degrees above horizontal. What was the initial speed of the ball, in m/s?
A daredevil drove his motorcycle up an incline at 30 degree angle with the horizontal and got air borne at the end of the incline at 20 m/s, 11 m above the ground. How far horizontally did he land with his motorcycle on the ground, on a safety net?
During a high school track meet, an athlete performing the long jump runs and leaps at an angle of 25° and lands in a sand pit 8.5 m from his launch point. If the launch point and landing points are at the same height, y = 0 m, with what speed does the athlete land?
. You tossed out a ball from a building at a height of 50.0 meter above the ground with an initial velocity of 9.00 m/s and angle of 25° to the horizontal. It strikes the ground after 5.00 seconds. With the positive x-direction chosen to be out of the window, how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground?
A certain airplane has a speed of 315.0 km/h and is diving at an angle of ? = 35° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see Figure below). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 733 m. How high was the release point?
In a historical movie, you observed a catapult being used by an army. It hurled a stone with a velocity of 55 m at an S angle of 32° from the horizontal. How far did the stone travel horizontally?
In a game war, one team sets base on a cliff 15m high and 60m away from the oppenents base. At what velocity must the attack be launched so that the lower base will be hit? The initial launch is at 20 degrees below the horizontal. If the attcking team launches their attack with velocity of 10 m/s, at what angle and manner should the attack be done?
You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?
