A block of mass m = 3 kg is sliding along a frictionless inclined surface that makes an angleof φφ = 300with respect to the horizontal surface.At the lowest points of the inclined surface, a projectile is fired at a speed of vv0 = 12 m/s thatmakes an angle θ0 = 450 with respect to the horizontal. Our aim of this problem is to find thetime when the projectile will hit the block. Find the time when the projectile hits the block. (Given, the initial distance between the blockand the projectile along the inclined surface at t = 0 is RR0 = 10 m as shown in the figure) Find the height h, where the projectile will hit the block.(c) Now assume that the projectile hits the block at its maximum range R along the inclinedsurface and the block is not sliding at all. Then find the maximum range along the inclinedsurface, RRmmmmmm = ?

In this Problem deal with the batted baseball, having initial velocity 160 ft/s and air resistance coefficient c = 0.0025. Find (to the nearest degree) the initial inclination that maximizes the range. If there were no air resistance it would be exactly 45., but your answer should be less than 45. .
On Earth, in the absence of air friction, a rock thrown vertically upward at a velocity of 64 feet per second reaches a height of s(t) = 64t - 16t2 . a. Is the distance of the ball from the ground increasing or decreasing at t = 1? Justify. b. When would the rock be at its highest point?
It is learnt that in an idealised model of projectile motion, the vertical component cannot be parallel to gravity. However, in a case with air resistance, could the vertical component be 0 and the object travelling directly downwards after being affected by air drag after some time?
