A basketball player 2.05m tall takes a shot when he is 6.02m away from the basket. If the launch angle is 25 degrees and the ball was launched at the height of the player's head, how fast must he launch to reach the basket, which is 3.05m above the floor?

A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? What other angle gives the same range? For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air?
A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle θ to the top of a cliff which is 195 m away and 155 m high. If the projectile lands right on the cliff edge 7.6 s after it is fired, find the initial velocity of the projectile.
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 baseball batter hits his home run ball with a velocity of 110 ft/s at an angle of 45° above the horizontal. If the ball hits the top of a screen at the 300 ft mark and bounces to the crowd, how high above the ground is the top of the screen?
If the same launcher is used to fire the ball at a 30˚ angle from ground level, how far (in meters) will it travel before it hits the ground?
A golfer tees off on a hill located 75 meters below the green. If the golfer wants a hole in one and the hole is 285 meters away, will they succeed? If not, how far away will the ball land from the hole? Use 60 m/s at 60 degrees for the initial golf ball velocity.
A projectile is projected horizontally with an initial speed of 3.5 m/s from the edge of a cliff 5.0 m high. How long does it take the projectile to hit the ground?
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 football player punts the football so that it will have a “hang time” (time of flight) of 4.5 s and land 46 m away. If the ball leaves the player’s foot 150 cm above the ground, what must be the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball’s initial velocity?
