A water slide is connected so that a swimmer, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leaves the end of the slide travelling horizontally. one person hits the water 6m from the end of the slide in a time 0.4 seconds after leaving the slide. ignoring friction and air resistance, find the height H. b) how does the answer change if the swimmer leves the end at an angle of 10 degrees above the horizontal?
A boy kicks a rubber ball at an angle of 200 above level ground toward a 3.0-m high vertical wall that is 12 m from where the boy kicked the ball. With what initial speed must the boy kick the ball so that it barely clears the wall? (Assume that g = 9.81 m/s2.) a. 21 m/s b. 27 m/s c. 18 m/s d. 24 m/s e. 15 m/s
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.
You are on the roof of the lecture hall, 51.8 m above ground. As your physics professor, who is 1.8 m tall, walks towards the hall at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume egg is in freefall and air resistance is ignored.

A stone is thrown with an initial speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 53 ° above the horizontal from the top of a 35 m building.
