A ball is thrown from the top of a tower at an angle of 40o to the horizontal with an initial speed of 6.60 m/s. During its flight, the only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity. It takes 3.55 s until the ball hits the ground. How tall is the tower?

A 0.30 kg football is thrown from a height of 2.5 m with an initial velocity of 25.0 m/s (34° above the horizontal axis). Assuming that there is no air resistance and that the ball lands on the ground, how far will the ball travel horizontally?
A shot putter launches a 7.260 kg shot by pushing it along a straight line of length 1.650 m and at an angle of 34.10° from the horizontal, accelerating the shot to the launch speed from its initial speed of 2.500 m/s (which is due to the athlete’s preliminary motion).The shot leaves the hand at a height of 2.110 m and at an angle of 34.10, and it lands at a horizontal distance of 15.90 m.What is the magnitude of the athlete’s average force on the shot during the acceleration phase? (Hint: Treat the motion during the acceleration phase as though it were along a ramp at the given angle.)
