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 0.435 m above his mouth. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? Assume vfy = 0.
An enemy ship is on the east side of a mountain island, as shown in the figure. The enemy ship has maneuvered to within d1 = 2077 m of the h = 1940 m high mountain peak and can shoot projectiles with an initial speed of vi = 244 m/s. If the western shoreline is horizontally d2 = 273 m from the peak, what are the distances from the western shore at which a ship can be safe from the bombardment of the enemy ship?
