A baseball is thrown by the centerfielder (from shoulder level) to home plate where it is caught (on the fly at shoulder level) by the catcher. At what point is the magnitude of the ball's velocity at a minimum? (air resistance is negligible) just after leaving the centerfielder's hand just before arriving at the catcher's mitt at the top of the trajectory velocity is constant during entire trajectory

A glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 85.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 35.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (Fig. P3.62). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)
A fastball pitcher can throw a baseball at a speed of 40 m/s (90 mi/b). (a) Assuming the pitcher can release the ball 16.7 m from home plate so the ball is moving horizontally, how long does it take the ball to reach bone plate? (b) How far does the ball drop between the pitcher’s hand and home plate?
Antlion larvae lie in wait for prey at the bottom of a conical pit about 5.0 cm deep and 3.8 cm in radius. When a small insect ventures into the pit, it slides to the bottom and is seized by the antlion. If the prey attempts to escape, the antlion rapidly launches grains of sand at the prey, either knocking it down or causing a small avalanche that returns the prey to the bottom of the pit. Suppose an antlion launches grains of sand at an angle of 72 above the horizon. Find the launch speed v0 required to hit a target at the top of the pit, 5.0 cm above and 3.8 cm to the right of the antlion.
A helicopter flies 78.0 m above the ground at 208 km/h horizontally and attempts to drop a package from rest, relative to the helicopter’s frame of reference, into an open (convertible) car that’s traveling at 156 km/h. (a) At what angle θ, as shown below, should the car be in her line of sight when the package is released? (b) At what angle does the package land in the car?Can you solve this with a detailed explanation
When a field goal kicker kicks a football as hard as he can at 45° to the horizontal, the ball just clears the 3-m high crossbar of the goalposts 45.7 m away. (a) What is the maximum speed the kicker can impart to the football? (b) In addition to clearing the crossbar, the football must be high enough in the air early during its flight to clear the reach of the onrushing defensive lineman. If the lineman is 4.6 m away and has a vertical reach of 2.5 m, can he block the 45.7-m field goal attempt? (c) What if the lineman is 1.0 m away?
A football is thrown by a quarterback (from shoulder level) to a receiver downfield, who catches it at shoulder level. At what point is the ball's speed at a minimum? (assume air resistance to be negligible). A. (a) just after leaving the quarterback's hand. B. (b) just before arriving at the receiver's hand. C. (c) at the top of the trajectory. D. (d) the speed is constant throughout the entire trajectory.

A person swings from a trapeze, projects herself at angle of 53 degrees, and is supposed to be caught by person B, whose hands are 6.1m above and 8.2m horizontally from persob A's launch point. a. What initial speed must Person A have just to reach person B? b. If person B misses person A completely as she flies past, how far horizontally does person A travel, from her initial launch point, before landing in the safety net 8.6m below her starting point?

A kid throws a balloon at an angle of 69 degrees towards his friends who is 7 m away. a. How fast would the water ballon leave the kids hand so that it hits his friend at the same level it was thrown? Give answer in m/s.
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
3. A player from team A was awarded two free throws. On the first attempt, he released the ball with a velocity of 6.0 m/s at 45° above the horizontal from a height of 2.0 m from the floor. (a) Is this a miss? (b) For the second attempt, the player shoots at 45° from the same point. What must be the initial speed of the ball so that it will go through the basket? The basket is 4.21 m from the free throw line and 3.05 m above the floor.
