An object is projected straight upwards with an initial velocity U. If T is the time taken to return to the point of projection, H is the maximum height and g is the acceleration due to gravity, derive how to solve for: (a.) time of flight, T, and (b.) the maximum height, H, that the projectile can achieve.
show that, the range, R the time of flight, T and the Maximumheight, H by a projectile are respectively given by; R = (v20/g)sin2ϴ , T =(2v0sinϴ)/g and H = (v20sin2ϴ)/2g
One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Billy Wagner in 2003, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h (45.1 m/s). If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically, in meters, by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft. (18.4 m) away? *Must include BIG six list for both x and y directions*
In Dover, Delaware, a post-Halloween traditionis “Punkin Chunkin,” in which contestants build cannons, catapults, trebuchets, and other devices to launch pumpkins and compete for the greatest distance. Though hard to believe, pumpkinshave been projected a distance of 4694 feet in this contest. What isthe minimum initial speed needed for such a shot?
Which of the following is a vector a person’s height, the altitude on Mt. Everest, the velocity of a fly, the age of Earth, the boiling point of water, the cost of a book, Earth’s population, or the acceleration of gravity?
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 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 ball in the air for, in seconds?

in order to meausure the acceleration due to gravity on the moon, an astronaut fires a projectile from a launcher. the initial velocity is 57 ft/s at 22.5 degrees and the projectiles range was measured to be 220 ft with equal launch and landing heights. what is the g (in terms of ft/s2) on the moon as calculated by this data?
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
