During a fireworks display, a shell is shot into the air with an initial speed of 63.1 m/s at an angle of 77° above the horizontal. The fuse is timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. Calculate the height at which the shell explodes. Maintain the same unit system. Normal format and 3 SF.

A kid throws a balloon at an angle of 69 degrees towards his friends who is 7 m away. a. How fast would the water ballon leave the kids hand so that it hits his friend at the same level it was thrown? Give answer in m/s.
Measurements of a shot recorded on a videotape during a basketball game are shown below. The ball passed through the hoop even though it barely cleared the hands of the player B who attempted to block it. Neglect the size of the ball. I need help in finding the magnitude of the ball's initial velocity vA and the height h of the ball when it passes over player B please show complete solution, thanks.
At t=0, a block hanging on a rope is released from an initial angle of 30 degrees to the vertical. Simultaneously, a bullet is flying in the opposite direction with an unknown velocity v. When the block reaches the lowest point of its trajectory, it collides with the bullet, causing it to become embedded inside the block and resulting in a final velocity of zero. Find the initial velocity of the bullet before collision v.
The world long jump record is 8.95m. Treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range obtained by a person if he has a take off speed of 9.5m/s? State your assumptions
Dylan and Sophia are walking along Bluebird Lake on a perfectly calm day. Dylan, determined to impress Sophia by his ability to skip rocks, picks up the flattest rock he can find and gives it a sidearm launch from the edge of the water. The rock acquires a completely horizontal speed of 27.2 m/s from a height of 0.54 meters above the water surface. How much time does it take to hit the surface of the water?
According to the Guinness Book of World Records the longest home run evermeasured was hit by Roy “Dizzy” Carlyle in a minor league game. The ball travelled188 m (618 ft) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. (a) Assuming theball’s initial velocity was in the direction of 450 above the horizontal and ignoringresistance, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a homerun if the ball was hit in a point 0.9 m above ground level? Assume that the groundwas perfectly flat. (b) How far would the ball be above a fence 3.0 m high the fencewas 116 m from home plate?
a student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of vo=18,5 m/s. the cliff is h=49.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach. this is a sub-par solution. (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff. give answers in seconds?. (f) with what speed and angle of impact do the stone land? vf= in m/s 0= degree below the horizontal ( give answers in that form)
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large, (b) It is the same, (c) It is V5 limes larger, (d) It is 6 times larger, (e) It is 6limes larger.
A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of i and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed i. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)
When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce, on the theory that the ball arrives at its target sooner that way. Suppose that, after the bounce, the ball rebounds at the same angle that it had when it was released (as in Fig. P3.48), but loses half its speed, (a) Assuming that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle should the ball be thrown in order to go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upward at 45.0 with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the times for the one-bounce and no-bounce throws. Figure P3.48

(c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time, (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in Figure P3.7. (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? Figure P3.7
