A projectile is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 150 m/sec from a point 2 m above the ground. Ifs meters is the height of the projectile above the ground t seconds after being fired, under the assumption that the only force acting on it is acceleration due to gravity, how high above the ground (in meters) will the projectile go?

A projectile is fired horizontally with speed v0 from the top of a cliff of height h. Itimmediately enters a fixed tube with length x, as shown in Figure. There is friction between the projectileand the tube, the effect of which is to make the projectile decelerate with constant acceleration ax. After theprojectile leaves the tube, it undergoes normal projectile motion down to the ground. Calculate the totalhorizontal distance, l, that the projectile travels. (g=9.8 m/s2) v0=5.5m/s ax=-2.5m/s2 x=4.5m h=12m
