: A farm truck travels due east with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s along a horizontal road. A boy riding in the back of the truck tosses a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.40) and Figure P3.40 catches it at the same loca- tion in the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. Ignore any effects of air resis- tance. (a) At what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can, relative to the moving truck? (b) What is the can's ini- tial speed relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the can's trajectory as seen by the boy? (d) What is the shape of the can's trajectory as seen by a stationary observer on the ground? (e) What is the initial velocity of the can, relative to the stationary observer?

A snowball is thrown from ground level (by someone in a hole) with initial speed v0 at an angle of 45° relative to the (level) ground, on which the snowball later lands. If the launch angle is increased, do (a) the range and (b) the flight time increase, decrease, or stay the same?
A rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0m/s from ground level, at an angle of 66.0degrees above the horizontal. The rocket is fired towards an 28.8m high wall, which is located 25.0m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a neglibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much time does the rocket clear the top of the wall?
A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? What other angle gives the same range? For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air?

In a volleyball game held in school, Player A at position X serves the ball from a height of 1.3m from the ground, imparting it with an initial velocity at an angle of 50 degrees from the horizontal, He aimed the all to land at point O, 0.5m short to Player B, thus making an ace, Incidentally the Player B is an expert in mind reading. The instant the server hits the ball, Player B started running from rest with a constant acceleration a. Check whether the ball willclear the 2.42m high net.(answer in meters)b.
