6. A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 46.0 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes a target above the ground 2.70 seconds later. What are the x and y distances from where the projectile was launched to where it lands?

7. A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 54.0-m building and lands 117.3 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (Assume the ball is thrown in the +x direction and upward to be in the +y direction.)

(a)
How long (in s) is the ball in the air?
 s
(b)
What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity (in m/s)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
 m/s
(c)
What is the vertical component of the velocity (in m/s) just before the ball hits the ground? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
 m/s
(d)
What is the velocity (in m/s) (including both the horizontal and vertical components) of the ball just before it hits the ground?
magnitude m/sdirection ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

An arrow is shot from a height of 1.7 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 31 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 3.4 s later.
(a)
What is the height of the cliff (in m)?
 m
(b)
What is the maximum height (in m) reached by the arrow along its trajectory?
 m
(c)
What is the arrow's impact speed (in m/s) just before hitting the cliff?
 m/s
