A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18.0 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, +18.0 m/s horizontal beach as shown in h= 50.0 m Figure P3.7. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial posi- tion of the stone? (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? (c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time. (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone Figure P3.7

Eddie Manalak is a Filipino stuntman, he wishes to cross the 520m distance between two tall buildings by being shot from a cannon. He wishes to be launched at 60° to the horizontal so that he can spend more time in waving to the crowd. With what speed must he be launched? ANS. 76.7 m/s
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angleof 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot?
A rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0m/s from ground level, at an angle of 66.0degrees above the horizontal. The rocket is fired towards an 28.8m high wall, which is located 25.0m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a neglibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much time does the rocket clear the top of the wall?
A cannon with a muzzle speed of 1 000 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2 000 m from the cannon horizontally and 800 m above the cannon. At what angle, above the horizontal, should the cannon be fired?
In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
During a high school track meet, an athlete performing the long jump runs and leaps at an angle of 25° and lands in a sand pit 8.5 m from his launch point. If the launch point and landing points are at the same height, y = 0 m, with what speed does the athlete land?

Coast Guard rescue swimmers are trained toleap from helicopters into the sea to save boaters in distress. Therescuers like to step off their helicopter when it is “ten and ten,”which means that it is ten feet above the water and moving forward horizontally at ten knots. What are (a) the speed and (b) thedirection of motion as a rescue swimmer enters the water following a ten and ten jump?
A projectile is launched at an angle of 40 degrees from the top of a 100. m cliff, with an initial velocity of magnitude 320. m/s. What is the time-of-flight?
Suppose the position of an object moving horizontally aftert seconds is given by the function s(t) = 32t - t4, where0 ≤ t ≤ 3 and s is measured in feet, with s > 0 corresponding topositions to the right of the origin. When is the object farthest tothe right?
