ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.50 m/s at an angle of 18.0°C below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 5.00 s later. Answer (a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? (b) Find the height from which the ball was thrown. (c) How long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m

A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?

A jetliner can fly 4.8 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind, it flies at a speed of 2.68 x102m/s. The plane is to make a round trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 69.9 m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home?
