During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 172 m with a constant velocity of 54.0 m/s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground? Answer: m

Neglecting air resistance, why would a ball projected horizontally and another ball dropped at the same time from the same initial height hit the ground together?
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the loingest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor league game, with the ball traveling 188 m (i.e. 618ft) befor landing on the ground outside of the ballpark. Assuming the ball's initial velocity was 45.0 degress abbout the horizontal (ignoring air resistace), what did the initital speeed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run given that the ball was hit at a point 0.900 m (i.e. 3.00ft) about ground level. Assume the ground is flat and explain how the assuumption that the ground is flat is required to complete this calculation.
A projectile fired is fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at an angle of 42.2o above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine (a) the maximum height reached by the projectile, (b) the total time in the air, (c) the total horizontal distance covered (that is, the range), and (d) the speed of the projectile 1.50 s after firing
A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 75.2 m/s at an angle of 34.5° above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine: (a) the maximum height reached by the projectile (b) the total time in the air (c) the totalthe horizontal distance covered (d) the velocity of the projectile 1.50 s after firing?
A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.00 m abovethe street below (Fig. P3.19). The vertical wall of the buildingis h = 7.00 m high, to form a 1-m-high railing around the playground.A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerbyreturns it by launching it at an angle of θ = 53.0° above thehorizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the buildingwall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically abovethe wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.(b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall.(c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point onthe roof where the ball lands.
A basketball player is standing on the floor 14.0 m away from the basket. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and heshoots the ball at 49.0° with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. At what speed must the player shoot the ball so thatit goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
To find the height of an overhead power line, you throwa ball straight upward. The ball passes the line on the way upafter 0.75 s, and passes it again on the way down 1.5 s after itwas tossed. What are the height of the power line and the initialspeed of the ball?
A pitcher throws horizontally a fast ball at 153 km/h toward the home plate, which is 18.1 m away. Neglecting airresistance (not a good idea if you are the batter), find how far the ball drops because of gravity by the time it reaches the home plate. Ans) _____m
