A projectile is fired horizontally - think about what this means about the initial y-velocity (viy) - at a velocity of 5.40 m/s. It is fired from a height of 1.10 meters. How far horizontally does the projectile go before it hits the ground? Hint: First, find out how long the projectile is in flight before it hits the ground? (In other words, what is the time, in units of "seconds"?)

Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
Horizontal Projectile- A blow dart is shot from a height of 8.00 meters and travels a distance of 12.0 meters. What is the initial x-velocity? What are the components of velocity (Vx and Vy) and angle as the dart hits the ground? What is the total velocity as the dart hits the ground?
During Shaun White's Gold medal run he reached a peak height of 5.6 meters above the halfpipe. If his takeoff angle was 65 degrees above the horizontal and he landed 1.4 meters lower than when he left the halfpipe answer the following questions. 1-What was the magnitude of his initial resultant velocity? 2-How long was he in the air? 3-How far did he travel horizontally down the halfpipe (assume that his horizontal velocity is directed down the halfpipe)?
If you fire a projectile at various speeds, does this change the time that the projectile is in the air? Explain why or why not?
A projectile is released at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal at a velocity of 15m/sec What are the horizontal and vertical components of its original release velocity? _____ How much time does the projectile spend rising to its apex? __________ How high is its apex above the release position? _____________ How fast is it moving as it passes through its apex? _________ How much total time does it spend in the air? _______________ What is its final range? ___________________

What is the final horizontal velocity of the ball in m/s after 2 seconds?How much time in seconds will it take for it to reach its highest point?How much time in seconds will it take for it to reach the ground?What is the maximum height in meters reached by the ball?What is the maximum horizontal distance covered by the ball!
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?
One of the most dramatic videos on the web (but entirely fictitious) supposedly shows a man sliding along a long water slide and then being launched into the air to land in a water pool. Let’s attach some reasonable numbers to such a flight to calculate the velocity with which the man would have hit the water. it indicates the launch and landing sites and includes a superimposed coordinate system with its origin conveniently located at the launch site. From the video we take the horizontal flight distance as D= 20.0 m, the flight time as t = 2.50 s, and the launch angle as 0 =40.0°. Find the magnitude of the velocity at launch and at landing.
The tee of the world's longest par 3 sits atop South Africa's Hanglip Mountain at 400.0 m above the green and can only be reached by helicopter. The horizontal distance to the green is 359.0 m. NEGLECT air resistance. If a golfer launches a shot that is 27.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal, what is the initial speed, in m/s, must she give the ball to land it on the green? And What is the time, in seconds, that it takes the ball to reach the green?
An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)
A girl throws a ball at a vertical wall 4 m away as shown in Figure. The ball is 2 m above ground when it leaves the girl's hand with an initial velocity of??⃗0 = (10 ??/??)(??̂+ ??̂) or 10√2 ??/?? at 45º. When the ball hits the wall, the horizontal component of its velocity is reversed; the vertical component remains unchanged. Where does the ball hit the ground?
