A shot putter launches a 7.260 kg shot by pushing it along a straight line of length 1.650 m and at an angle of 34.10° from the horizontal, accelerating the shot to the launch speed from its initial speed of 2.500 m/s (which is due to the athlete’s preliminary motion). The shot leaves the hand at a height of 2.110 m and at an angle of 34.10 degrees, and it lands at a horizontal distance of 15.90 m. What is the magnitude of the athlete’s average force on the shot during the acceleration phase? (Hint: Treat the motion during the acceleration phase as though it were along a ramp at the given angle.)

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.
In a football game, a player wants to kick the ball as far as possible, but also make sure that it stays in the air as long as possible, so that there is enough time for other players to run down the field and tackle the receiver. If the football is supposed to travel a distance of 49.8 m and stay in the air for 4.41 s, what initial angle and speed does the player have to provide? You can assume that the initial and final vertical coordinate are zero.
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.
A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle θ to the top of a cliff which is 195 m away and 155 m high. If the projectile lands right on the cliff edge 7.6 s after it is fired, find the initial velocity of the projectile.
A cannonball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components.
When a ball with a mass of 3 kg reaches 9 meters above the ground after being thrown obliquely from the ground to the air, the velocity vector is calculated with v = 7i + 6j. Accordingly, what is the maximum height the ball can reach?
A 5-kg block slides off the horizontal surface of a table with initial speed 1.45 m/s and hits the ground a horizontal distance 0.754 m from the table. How high is the table?
A basketball player who is 2.00 m tall is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in figure. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal at what initial speed must he throw so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? the basket height is 3.05 m.
A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30° to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 12 m/s. If the brick is in flight for 2.6 s, how tall is the building? step-by-step
In an article on the use of the sling as a weapon, the author states that a skilled slinger can sling a rock a distance of about 384 m. What is the minimum speed the rock must have when it leaves the sling to travel exactly 384 m? To solve this problem it will be necessary to first determine the required launch angle of the projectile. What launch angle must the projectile have in order to find the minimum speed required to achieve a given horizontal distance?
A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. ( m/s) + ( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = ? m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = ? m/s2. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = ? s. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = ? m.
Why Projectile motion is always confined to a vertical plane determined by the direction of the initial velocity?
