A projectile is fired into the air from the top of a 200-m cliff above a valley. Its initial velocity is 60 m/s at 60° above the horizontal. Determine the horizontal distance from the foot of the cliff to where the projectile lands. (Ignore any effects due to air resistance.)

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?
