*45. mmh After leaving the end of a ski ramp, a ski jumper lands downhill at a point that is displaced 51.0 m horizontally from the end of the ramp. His velocity, just before landing, is 23.0 m/s and points in a direction 43.0° below the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance and any lift he expe- riences while airborne, find his initial velocity (magnitude and direction) when he left the end of the ramp. Express the direction as an angle rela- tive to the horizontal.

A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at = 15.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.49 (page 94). The slope where she will land is inclined downward at = 50.0, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included. Figure P4.49
A baseball player hits a home run, and the ball lands in the left-field seats, y = 8.00 m above the point at which it was hit. It lands with a velocity of v = 37.0 m/s at an angle of 28o below the horizontal (see the Figure). The positive directions are upward and to the right in the drawing. Ignoring air resistance, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the initial velocity with which the ball leaves the bat.
A basketball is shot from an initial height of 2.40 m (Figure 1) with an initial speed?o = 12 ms-1directed at an angle ?0 = 35° above the horizontal.(a) How far from the basket was the player if he made a basket?(b) At what angle to the horizontal did the ball enter the basket?
A kicker must kick a soccer ball from a point 36.0 m (approximately 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd expects the ball to go over the crossbar, which is 3.05m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a velocity of 21.7 m / s at an angle of 51.5 ° with respect to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear, or not, the crossbar? (Give a negative value if it falls short.) (b) When the ball hits the crossbar, does it go up or down?

A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 23.2 m/s at an angle of 49.0° to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short (vertically) of clearing the crossbar?

In the figure here, a ball is thrown up onto a roof, landing 3.70 s later at height h = 24.0 m above the release level. The ball's path just before landing is angled at θ = 50.0˚ with the roof. (a) Find the horizontal distance d it travels. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if it is on a video.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball's initial velocity?
