A man stands on the roof of a building of height 17.0 mm and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 25.0 m/sm/s at an angle of 26.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance.
A particle is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of magnitude 114 m/s from a point 1.16 m above the ground. The particle hits a vertical wall situated at a horizontal distance of 43.1 m from the launch site. Neglect air resistance. Consider g=10.0 m/s2.

The standard height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m and the standarddistance between the hoop and the free throw line is 4.57 m. If a 1.90 m tall Stephen Curry shoots the ball from the free throw line at an angle of 54.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal, at what speed should the ball leave his hands?
During a baseball game, a baseball is struck, at ground level, by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial speed v0 = 41.7 m/s at an angle theta = 40.5 degrees above the horizontal. Let the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system be the ball's position the instant it leaves the bat. Ignore air resistence throughout this problem. Find the ball's maximum vertical height, hmax, in meters, above the ground.
A secret agent skis off a slope inclined at θ = 29 degrees below horizontal at a speed of v0 = 19.5 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the other side of the gorge is h = 18.8 m below the edge of the upper slope. What is the maximum width, w, of the gorge (in meters) so that the agent clears it?
A water slide is connected so that a swimmer, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leaves the end of the slide travelling horizontally. one person hits the water 6m from the end of the slide in a time 0.4 seconds after leaving the slide. ignoring friction and air resistance, find the height H. b) how does the answer change if the swimmer leves the end at an angle of 10 degrees above the horizontal?
The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 32.0 km. (a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell. (b) What maximum height does it reach? (At its highest, the shell is above 60% of the atmosphere—but air resistance is not really negligible as assumed to make this problem easier.) (c) The ocean is not flat, because the Earth is curved. Assume that the radius of the Earth is 6.37×103km . How many meters lower will its surface be 32.0 km from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface at the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat Earth in projectile motion is significant here?
