A person standing at the top of a hemispherical rock of radius R kicks a ball (initially at rest on the top of the rock) to give it horizontal velocity vi as shown in Figure P3.56. (a) What must be its minimum initial speed if the ball is never to hit the rock after it is kicked? (b) With this initial speed, how far from the base of the rock does the ball hit the ground?
A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
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 cliff of height 910 m in a park .Assume a jumper runs off the cliff with a speed of 5 m/sec at an angle of 100 and enjoys a free fall until he is 150 m above the valley floor, at which time she opens her parachute. How long is the jumper in free fall? (Ignore air resistance) It is important to be as far away from the cliff as possible before opening the chute. How far away from the cliff is the jumper when she opens her chute?
In the figure, you throw a ball toward a wall at speed 39.0 m/s and at angle θ0 = 41.0˚ above the horizontal. The wall is distance d = 18.0 m from the release point of the ball.

A baseball is hit at a height h = 1.20 m and then caught at the same height. It travels alongside a wall, moving up past the top of the wall 1.1 s after it is hit and then down past the top of the wall 3.4 s later, at distance D = 42 m farther along the wall. (a) What horizontal distance is traveled by the ball from hit to catch? What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball's velocity just after being hit? (d) How high is the wall?
In an article on the use of the sling as a weapon, the author states that a skilled slinger can sling a rock a distance of about 384 m. What is the minimum speed the rock must have when it leaves the sling to travel exactly 384 m? To solve this problem it will be necessary to first determine the required launch angle of the projectile. What launch angle must the projectile have in order to find the minimum speed required to achieve a given horizontal distance?
Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 9.00 m/s and angle of 21.0° below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 4.00 s later.
