A boy standing in a ditch throws a baseball upward toward his father. The ball leaves his hand at ground level, with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s,at an angle of θ = 59°, from the horizontal. The boy's father reaches up and catches the ball over his head, at a height of 2.0 m above the ground. The father catches the ball on its way down Calculate how long the ball is in the air. ( g = 9.81 m/s2). I've tried 3 different methods using projectile motion and I still get the wrong answers. Please help!

A fireman d = 50.0 m away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of i = 30.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.18. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is vi = 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building? Figure P3.18
A projectile was fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 20 m/s. The same projectile was fired a second time with the sane initial speed of 20 m/s but at a different angle such that the height attained by the projectile in the second launch is one half of the horizontal distance covered by the projectile in the first launch. At what angle was the projectile launched second time?
A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 27.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 50.0 ∘ above the horizontal. The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is 12.0 m above ground level. How far from the building should they position their cannon? There are two possibilities (d1<d2); can you get them both? (Hint: Start with a sketch showing the trajectory of the water.) Part A: d1=_____m Part B: d2=______m
From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 8.80 m/s and angle of 16.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 4.00 s later. With the positive x-direction chosen to be out the window, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity. vi, x = m/s vi, y = m/s How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? m
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
A projectile is fired from a cliff 190 feet above the water at an inclination of 45 degree to the horizontal ,with muzzle velocity of 45 feet per second. The height h of the projectile above the water is given by h(x)=-32x^2/((45)^2) +x+190 Where x is the horizontal distance of the projectile from the face of the cliff. (A) At what distance from the face of the cliff is the height of the projectile a maximum?
A batter hots a ball, giving it a velocity of 100 ft/s at 40 degree angle to the horizontal. One second after the ball is hit, a fielder standing in the direct path of the ball at a distance of 250 ft starts running after the ball at a constant speed. How fast must be run to catch the ball?The answer is 18.7ft/s
Cupid wishes to shoot an arrow through the open window of a tall building. The window is 32.8 meters above the ground and Cupid stands 63.6 meters from the base of the building. If Cupid aims the arrow at an angle of 51.5 degrees above the horizontal, with what minimum speed must he fire the arrow in order for it to enter the window?
A projectile is fired from the edge of a 180-m cliff with an initial velocity of 150 m/s at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance from the gun to the point where the projectile strikes the ground. 3100 m 2260 m 3160 m 2200 m
A projectile is launched on earth at an angle θ, relative to horizontal direction. At half of its maximum height the speed of the projectile is 1.00 m/s, and at its maximum height the speed of the projectile is 0.41 m/s. What is the angle θ ?θ = °
A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 11.5 m/s at an angle θ = 31° above horizontal. Assume the ball encounters no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position.a. create an expression for the football's horizontal velocity , vfx, when caught by a receiver in terms of v0, θ, g, and h.b. The receiver catches the football at the same height as released by the quarterback. Create an expression for the time, tf, the football is in the air in terms of v0, θ, g, and h. c. The receiver catches the ball at the same vertical height above the ground it was released. Calculate the horizontal distance, d in meters, between the receiver and the quarterback.
An object is thrown with a projectile motion and it is observed from the horizontal component that the velocity at its maximum altitude is Vx = 15m/s. The projectile travels a horizontal distance x = 3.00 x 102. Determine the angle of the throw.
