An airplane drops a package. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40 m/s (so the initial velocity of the package is 40m/s horizontally) at a height of 100m above the ground. How long is the package in the air? Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the package before it hits the ground

A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
A helicopter is delivering a care package to a remote location, travelling horizontally at 80 m/s and is 150m above the ground when the package is dropped. How long will it take for the package to hit the ground? How far does the package travel horizontally?
A student standing on a cliff throws a stone from a vertical height of d=8.0m�=8.0m above the level ground with velocity v0=24m/s at an angle θ=15 below the horizontal, as shown. It moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the stone. With what speed, in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?
A child in Yellowstone National Park kicked a rock off a bridge down into a river below. The bridge had a height of 405 meters above the river. If the child kicked the rock with an initial velocity of 2.1 m/s, What was the amount of time required for the rock to hit the river below? How far horizontally from the bridge did the rock travel?
The Green Goblin is atop his glider 125m above the ground when he throws a pumpkinbomb at 27m/s at 42◦ above the horizontal. How long does it take the bomb to reach the ground?How far does the bomb travel horizontally in this time?What is the bomb’s velocity the instant before it hits the ground?
QUESTION 7 You launch a projectile at an initial speed of 31.0 m/s from the ground. After 3.10 seconds of flight, the projectile lands on the ground. At what angle above the horizontal was the projectile launched? 23.5 degrees 29.4 degrees 47.0 degrees 22.6 degrees QUESTION 8 A projectile is fired from the ground, reaches a maximum height of 67.8 m and lands a distance of 65.7 m away from the launch point. What was the projectile s launch velocity? 37.5 m/s, 76.4 degrees above horizontal 36.5 m/s, 38.2 degrees above horizontal 8.8 m/s, 53.5 degrees above horizontal 67.5 m/s, 26.8 degrees above horizonta QUESTION 9 You launch a projectile toward a tall building, from a position on the ground 38.7 m away from the base of the building. The projectile s initial velocity is 53.2 m/s at an angle of 57.3 degrees above the horizontal. At what height above the ground does the projectile strike the…
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
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 angle of 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? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?
A student standing on a cliff throws a stone from a vertical height of d=8.0mabove the level ground with velocity v0=15m/s at an angle θ=18∘ below the horizontal.It moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the stone. With what speed, in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?
A long jumper leaves the ground at 45 ∘ above the horizontal and lands 9.1 m away. What is her "takeoff" speed v0?Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below. If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45 ∘ with the speed calculated in A, how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
Irina, standing on the edge of a cliff, throws a stone at a 40-degree angle above the horizontal with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 63 m/s. If Irina were to throw the other rock at a 40-degree angle below the horizontal from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground? Ignore any effects of air resistance
A tennis ball is hit with a vertical speed of 35 m/s and a horizontal speed of 25 m/s. How long will the ball remain in the air?How far will it travel horizontally during this time?
