Activity 2. A hunter observed a bird flying overhead and estimated the height at 15m and its speed at 20 m/s. His rifle is capable of a muzzle velocity of 48 m/s. If he fires at the instant the bird is directly overhead, at what angle should he incline his rifle in order to hit it? How many meters from his position will the bird hit the ground assuming that the weight of the bullet compared to the weight of the bird is negligible?

Two rockets are launched at a fireworks display. Rocket A is launched with an initial velocity v0 = 120 m/s and rocket B is launched t1 seconds later with the same initial velocity.

Situation 1: A zoology graduate student is provided with a bow and arrow tippedwith a syringe of sedative and is assigned to measure thetemperature of a black rhinoceros. The range of his bow when it isfully drawn and aimed 45˚ above the horizontal is (91 + 6.8) m. Anaggressive rhino suddenly charges straight towards him at (21 +8.6) km/hr. If he fully draws his bow and in panic, he aimed at20˚ above the horizontal, how far away should the rhino be whenthe student releases the arrow?

A marble is rolling on the top of a levelled first floor of an open building which is 3.70m from the ground, and subsequently passes through a vertical window opening with a height "h". The bottom of the window is located at a distance "h" from the ground. Calculate the distance from the edge of the building to the window which will allow the landing zone for the marble to have a width "h". Determine also the range of velocity that will allow the projectile to pass through the opening. Use h = 1.35 m
