A calculus book is thrown downward from the top of building-V, 168 ft high, at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. a. How far from the base of the building will the textbook land if its initial speed is 80 ft/sec? b. Will the textbook hit the cafeteria, if the cafeteria is 60 ft away from the base of the building-V on our campus?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 172 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) Sig figs Considered.
