2. Read and analyze the problem below then solve. Show a complete solution with illustration. 1. The range R of a projectile fired at an acute angle e with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of v meters per second is given by v2 R = -sin 20 where g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/sec² near the Earth's surface. An archer targets an object 100 meters away from her position. If she positions her arrow at an angle of 32° and releases the arrow at the speed of 30 m/sec, will she hit her target? (Show your calculations.)

An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)
Question: Diego is getting hungry and acting like a typical saber-toothed tiger. He visualizes Sid as a hunk of meat and begins to chase him frantically around the ground. First, Sid darts 50.0 meters at 35.0° NoW and then turns abruptly and races 40.0 m S. If Manny ran from where they were originally standing to where Sid ended up, how far and in what direction would Manny have to run to break up the fight? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 42.5 m @ 15.5° SoW Thanks!!
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45 to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m- high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?

(d) If such a muzzle velocity could be obtained, discuss the effects of air resistance, thinning air with altitude, and the curvature of the Earth on the range of the super cannon.
