An athlete participates in an interplanetary discus thi an Olympiad that takes place on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.7 m/s2. He throws the discus with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 60° from the vertical. Neglecting air resistance and the height of the discus at the point of release, what is the range of the discus? *

A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?

a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 10.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.0° to the horizontal.The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. (a) Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle of its displacement from the launch point?
A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47.

A fireman d = 50.0 m away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of i = 30.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.18. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is vi = 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building? Figure P3.18
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.
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.335 m above his mouth. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit?
A quarterback passes the football downfield at 19.0 m/s. It leaves his hand 1.70 m above the ground and is caught by a receiver 36.0 m away at the same height. What is the maximum height of the ball on its way to the receiver? so y0 = 1.7m x(t) = 36m , i guess i will need angle and t to get the answer, but i have no idea how to find them
