Steve Young stands on the 20-yard line, poised to throw long. He throws the ball at initial velocity v0v0 equal to 15.1 m/s and releases it at an angle θθ equal to 45.0∘∘. 1) Having faked an end around, Jerry Rice comes racing past Steve at a constant velocity VJ equal to 8.00 m/s, heading straight down the fild. Assuming that Jerry catches the ball at the same height above the ground that Steve throws it, how long must Steve wait to throw, after Jerry goes past, so that the ball falls directly into Jerry's hands? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) ss 2) Jerry is coming straight past Steve at VJ equal to 8.00 m/s. But just as Jerry goes past, Steve starts to run in the same direction as Jerry with VS equal to 1.10 m/s. How long must Steve wait to release the ball so that it falls directly into Jerry's hands? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
In a friendly game of handball, you hit the ball essentially atground level and send it toward the wall with a speed of 16 m>s atan angle of 37° above the horizontal.

1A. You're feeding the fish at the pond by the baseball field and decide to do some physics calculations. You notice that you release the fish food 1.65 m above the surface of the water, and during one throw, when the food left your hand at 3.20 m/s with a direction of 13.0° below the horizon, you managed to hit a fish near the surface. How fast was the food going right before it hits the fish? 1B.Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.40 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 37.0° with speed 2.70 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?
