A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs off the roof horizontally at a speed of 4.8 m/s, hoping to land on the roof of an adjacent building. Air resistance is negligible. The horizontal distance between the two buildings is D, and the roof of the adjacent building is 2.0 m below the jumping-off point. Find the maximum value for D.

A skydiver jumped out of a plane to shoot a skydiving scene for a certain spy movie. At what point in time should this spy-wannabe open his parachute when he is aware that the plane was at the altitude of (GIVEN A)m, and he needs to open it at a height of (GIVEN B)m?
A young girl standing on a bridge throws a stone with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at a downward angle of 45° to the horizontal, in an attempt to hit a block of wood floating in the river below. If the stone is thrown from a height of 20 m and it just reaches the water when the block is 13 m from the bridge, does the stone hit the block?
In a cricket match, a batsman hits a ball at an angle of 36o from the horizontal with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s. Assuming that the ball moves in a vertical plane, find (a) the time at which the ball reaches the highest point of its trajectory, (b) its maximum height, (c) its time of flight and range, and (d) its velocity when it strikes the ground
A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over eight cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp. With what minimum speed must he drive off the ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5m above the cars, and the horizontal distance he must clear is 20m.
A projectile leaves the ground at 150 m/s and reaches a maximum height of 0.57 km. If there was no air resistance, at what angle above the horizontal did it leave the ground?
For a projectile fired at an angle of 48 degrees and having an initial velocity of 65 m/s, what is the horizontal component of the initial velocity?
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.
What initial velocity v0 is required for a bullet, fired vertically from ground level, to reach a maximum height of 2 km?
If a human jumping can be treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range obtainable by a person if he has a take-off speed of 9.55 m/s? Assume negligible air resistance and the person begins and ends their jump at ground height.
An inflatable life raft is released from an airplane at 300 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 120 m/s in the horizontal direction. Neglecting air resistance, how long before the raft strikes the water?
A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
