a quarterback throws a ball with a velocity of 50ft/s at an angle 40 above the horizontal towards an open receiver who is 30yd away. The pass is released 5.0 ft above the ground. Assume the receiver is stationary and will catch the ball if it reaches him. Will it be a complete pass? If not will it fall short or ''fly'' to the receiver?

A boy wishes to throw a ball over a flat roofed school house that stands 12 m wide and 7.5 m high on level ground. Assuming that the ball will leave his hand at a height of 5 m above the ground,determine how far from the wall he should take his hand in order to make the ball clear the roof with least effort, that is, with minimum velocity.
The highest barrier that a projectile can clear is 15.7 m, when the projectile is launched at an angle of 14.2° above the horizontal. What is the projectile's launch speed?
Johnny is standing on a ladder picking apples in his grandfather’s orchard. As he pulls each apple off the tree, he tosses it into a basket that sits on the ground 3.0 m below at a horizontal distance of 2.0 m from him. How fast must Johnny throw the apple (horizontally) in order for them to land in the basket?
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?
The height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m and the distance between the hoop and the free throw line is 4.57 m. If a 1.90 m tall person shoots the ball from the free throw line at an angle of 54.0° with respect to the horizontal, at what speed should the ball leave his hands?
In one contest at the county fair, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.1 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20∘ angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.20 m away. At what angle θ should you tilt the ball launcher?
A projectile is launched at a height of 20 m at an angle of 40 degrees, with what speed must it leave so that it achieves a range of 100 m? g=9.8m/s
A strong softball player smacks the ball at a height of 0.7 m above home plate. The ball leaves the players bat at an elevation angle of 35 and travels toward a fence 2 m high and 60 m away in center field. What must the initial speed of the softball be to clear the center field fence? Ignore air resistance.
If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.
Neglecting air resistance, why would a ball projected horizontally and another ball dropped at the same time from the same initial height hit the ground together?
Sofia is playing a game with her friend, Kara, where she throwsM&M candies at Kara and Kara catches the M&M’s in hermouth. They begin standing 1.75 meters apart from eachother. Sofia throws the M&M at an angle of 60 degrees abovethe horizontal with a speed of 4.13 m/s. Kara’s mouth is145 cm above the ground when she catches the M&M. Whatheight above the ground did the M&M leave Sofia’s hand?Hint: Remember, even though the motion in the horizontaldirection is independent of the motion in the vertical direc-tion, they share the same time.
A tennis ball is hit upward into the air and moves along an arc. Neglecting airresistance, where along the arc is the speed of the ball (a) a minimum and (b)a maximum?
