A circus performer throws a knife at a bound stagehand who is tied to a post. The knife is thrown at an angle of 17.8° below the horizontal with an initial speed of 3.11 m/s. The knife hits the post between the stagehand's feet, a distance of 0.63 m vertically below where it was released. How far from the post was the performer when she threw the knife? Select one: a. 0.81 m cross out b. 0.38 m cross out c. 0.17 m cross out d. 0.77 m cross out e. 0.65 m cross out Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is: 0.81 m

An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.335 m above his mouth. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit?

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125 m above ground level with an initial speed of 105 m/s at an angle of 37º with the horizontal. (a) Determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground. (b) Determine the range of the projectile as measured from the base of the cliff. At the instant just before the projectile hits the ground, find (c) the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, (d) the magnitude of the velocity, and (e) the angle made by the velocity vector with the horizontal.
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?

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?
