1. In a game war, one team sets based on a cliff 15m and 60m away from the base of the opponent. 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 attacking team launches their attack with velocity of 10 m/s, at what angle and manner should the attack be done?

In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?

in Denver, children bring their old jack-o-lanterns to the top of a tower and compete for accuracy in hitting a target on the ground. Suppose that the tower is 9.0 mm high and that the bull's-eye is a horizontal distance of 3.5 mm from the launch point. If the pumpkin is thrown horizontally, what is the launch speed needed to hit the bull's-eye?

In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity of ~v(0) =< 40, 35, 32 > ft/sec. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/sec2 due to gravity, i.e., ~a(t) =< 0, 0, −32 >, and that the vector ~i points down fieldtoward the endzone and that the vector ~j points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it isthrown. (b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the player in bounds or out ofbounds when he receives the ball? (Assume the player is standing vertically with bothtoes on the ground at the time of reception.)
