You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
A projectile is fired up an incline (incline angle ) with an initial speed vi at an angle i with respect to the horizontal (i ) as shown in Figure P3.46. (a) Show that the projectile travels a distance d up the incline, where d=2vi2cosisin(i)gcos2 (b) For what value of i is d a maximum, and what is that maximum value?

A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
At t = 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of vi=(3.00i2.00j)m/s and is at the origin. At t = 3.00 s, the particles velocity is vf=(9.00i+7.00j)m/s. Find (a) the acceleration of the particle and (b) its coordinates at any time t.
A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=3.00jm/s2 and an initial velocity of vi=5.00im/s. Find (a) the vector position of the particle at any time t, (b) the velocity of the particle at any time t, (c) the coordinates of the particle at t = 2.00 s, and (d) the speed of the particle at t = 2.00 s.
Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance, with the initial angle being neither 0 nor 90 : (a) Is the velocity ever zero? (b) When Is the velocity a minimum? A maximum? (c) Can the velocity ever be the same as the initial velocity at a time other than at t=0 ? (d) Can the speed ever be the same as the initial speed at a time other than at t=0 ?

In a volleyball game held in school, Player A at position X serves the ball from a height of 1.3m from the ground, imparting it with an initial velocity at an angle of 50 degrees from the horizontal, He aimed the all to land at point O, 0.5m short to Player B, thus making an ace, Incidentally the Player B is an expert in mind reading. The instant the server hits the ball, Player B started running from rest with a constant acceleration a. Check whether the ball willclear the 2.42m high net.(answer in meters)b.
