A railgun is capable of shooting a projectile at speeds of about 3 000 m/s. A certain scientific railgun used for railgun research is aimed at an angle of 30° from the horizontal. After some time, the projectile hits the ground. The railgun is planted on the ground, so assume that x, = 0 and y, = 0. a. Calculate vox and voy. b. Calculate the range of the projectile c. From your results in (a) and (b), use the equation for x(t) to calculate the total air time of the projectile.

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. Unfortunately the archer stands on an elevated platform of unknown height. However, you find the arrow stuck in the ground 56.0 m away, making a 2.00 ∘ angle with the ground. How fast was the arrow shot?

Two birds begin next to each other and then fly through the air at the same elevation above level ground at 22.5 m/s. One flies northeast, and the other flies northwest. After flying for 10.5 s, what is the distance between them? Ignore the curvature of the Earth.
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large, (b) It is the same, (c) It is V5 limes larger, (d) It is 6 times larger, (e) It is 6limes larger.
A glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 85.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 35.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (Fig. P3.62). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)
(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)
