A rugby player attempts a kick after scoring a try. The ball was kicked at an angle of 60° with an initial resultant velocity of 40 mi/h (ignoring air resistance). a. What was the initial horizontal velocity in m/s? b. What was the initial vertical velocity in m/s? C. If the player was 40 m away from the goal, and the height of the horizontal bar was 3 m, did the player score? Assume that the trajectory of the ball was on target.

Q1)Serving at a speed of 171 km/h, a tennis player hits the ball at a height of 2.51 m and an angle θ below the horizontal. The player serves at a distance of 12.0 m from the net, which is 0.91 m high. A. What is the angle θ such that the ball just crosses the net? B. The out line of the service box is 6.40 m from the net. How far does the ball land from the out line of the service box? (If the ball lands outside the out line, enter your answer as a positive number. If inside, enter as a negative number.)
A crazy person jumped off a 100-meter cliff because of climate change. He is launched up in the air at a velocity of 20m/s in a direction making an angle of 250 upward with the horizontal. a.) What is the maximum height reached by the crazy person? b.) What is the total time flight (between launch and touching the ground) of the crazy person? c.) What is the horizontal range of the crazy person? d.) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the crazy person just before it hits the ground?

A mountain biker encounters a jump on a race course that sends him into the air at 44.8 degrees to horizontal. He lands at a horizontal distances of 26.7 meters and 13.1 meters below his launch point? What was his launch speed in m/s2
A rock was thrown horizontally from a 100.0 m high cliff. It strikes the ground 90.0 m from the base of the cliff. a) At what speed was it thrown? b) How long did it take to hit the ground. c) Neglecting wind resistance, which component of velocity is affected by gravity VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL? d) Sketch the trajectory of the rock as it falls to the ground and include the velocity vector at the beginning, midway down, and just before striking the ground. e) After you determine the total time in the air, you can then determine the final vertical velocity vector combined with the horizontal velocity determined earlier. Use these vectors to determine the resultant velocity vector just before landing. Recall using Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the velocity vector and trigonometry for the angle below the horizontal that the resultant vector strikes at.
