5. A rescue helicopter wants to drop a package of supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 200 m below. If the helicopter is traveling horizontally with a speed of 70 m/s (250 km/h), (a) how far in advance of the recipients (horizontal distance) must the package be dropped? (b) Suppose, instead, that the helicopter releases the package a horizontal distance of 400 m in advance of the mountain climbers. What vertical velocity should the package be given (up or down) so that it arrives precisely at the climbers' position? (c) With what speed does the package land in the latter case?

An airplane maintains a speed of 630 km/h relative to the air it is flying through, as it makes a trip to a city 750 km away to the north. (a) What time interval is required for the trip if the plane flies through a headwind blowing at 35.0 km/h toward the south? (b) What time interval is required if there is a tailwind with the same speed? (c) What time interval is required if there is a crosswind blowing at 35.0 km/h to the east relative to the ground?
A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100. m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.
Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
A young girl standing on a bridge throws a stone with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at a downward angle of 45° to the horizontal, in an attempt to hit a block of wood floating in the river below. If the stone is thrown from a height of 20 m and it just reaches the water when the block is 13 m from the bridge, does the stone hit the block?
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speed of 265 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 2.90 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How far does the bomb travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.? km(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitates the bombardier before he can call, "Bombs away!" Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane's original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane relative to the bomb's point of impact when the bomb hits the ground? ?ahead of the bomb ?directly above the bomb ?behind the bomb (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsight set so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight at the moment of release. At what angle from the vertical was the bombsight set?? ° forward from the vertical
A long jumper has a goal of jumping 8.9 meters. They are in the air for a total of 1.89 seconds. They have a projection angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. Assume that they are NOT starting and landing from the same height. What resultant velocity must they create to make this jump successful?
Kaela is attempting to throw a ball over a fence .she gives the the ball the initial speed of 7.4 m/s at an angle of 45.2° above the horizontal. the ball leaves her hand 1.2m above the ground and the fence is 1.2 m high . the ball just cleares the fence on its way down, and experiences no significant air resistance during the motion. How far is the Kaela from the fence when the ball is thrown?
While standing on the roof of a building, a child tosses a tennis ball with an initial speed of 16 m/s at an angle of 25° below the horizontal. The ball lands on the ground 3.5 s later. How tall, in meters, is the building?
A baseball is hit from a height of 4.4 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 106 feet per second and at an angle of 54°54° above the horizontal.What is the maximum height reached by the baseball? Neglect air resistance. The fence at the edge of the field is 11.5 feet tall and located 380 feet from home plate. Will the ball pass over the fence? Yes No
From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 8.80 m/s and angle of 16.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 4.00 s later. Find the height from which the ball was thrown. (m)How long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching? (s)
A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
A bird is sitting on the top of a tree 10 m high. With what velocity should a person, standing at a distance of 25 m from the tree, throws a stone at an angle of 30° with the horizontal so as to hit the bird ?
