A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=3.00jm/s2 and an initial velocity of vi=5.00im/s. Find (a) the vector position of the particle at any time t, (b) the velocity of the particle at any time t, (c) the coordinates of the particle at t = 2.00 s, and (d) the speed of the particle at t = 2.00 s.
In a football game, a player wants to kick the ball as far as possible, but also make sure that it stays in the air as long as possible, so that there is enough time for other players to run down the field and tackle the receiver. If the football is supposed to travel a distance of 49.8 m and stay in the air for 4.41 s, what initial angle and speed does the player have to provide? You can assume that the initial and final vertical coordinate are zero. Hint: Start from the range equation that you derived in class.
A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30° to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 15 m/s. If the brick is in flight for 3.3 s, how tall is the building?
A projectile is fired at the edge of a cliff, with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees. If it takes the projectile to 10s to land on the bottom of the cliff, how far did it travel horizontally?
A projectile is launched from ground level to the top of a cliff which is 195 m away and 155 m high. If the projectile lands on top of the cliff 7.6 s later it is fired, find the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity of the projectile.

A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
