Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle θ to the top of a cliff which is 195 m away and 155 m high. If the projectile lands right on the cliff edge 7.6 s after it is fired, find the initial velocity of the projectile.
A diver runs horizontally off the end of a diving board with an initial speed of 1.50 m/s. If the diving board is 3.50 m above the water, what is the diver's speed just before she enters the water?
A projectile is fired at the edge of a cliff, with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees. If it takes the projectile to 10s to land on the bottom of the cliff, how far did it travel horizontally?
The egg is launched at a speed of 45 m/s at an angle of 33 degrees above the horizontal. How far horizontally from the catapult should a portal be placed in order to intercept the egg before it hits the ground?
For a projectile fired at an angle of 48 degrees and having an initial velocity of 65 m/s, what is the horizontal component of the initial velocity?
A projectile is launched on earth at an angle θ, relative to horizontal direction. At half of its maximum height the speed of the projectile is 1.00 m/s, and at its maximum height the speed of the projectile is 0.41 m/s. What is the angle θ ?θ = °
A baseball batter hits his home run ball with a velocity of 110 ft/s at an angle of 45° above the horizontal. If the ball hits the top of a screen at the 300 ft mark and bounces to the crowd, how high above the ground is the top of the screen?
A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? What other angle gives the same range? For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air?
Our pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?
Serving at a speed of 170 km/h, a tennis player hits the ball at a height of 2.5 m and an angle θ below the horizontal. The service line is 11.9 m from the net, which is 0.91 m high. Find the angle θ, in degrees, at which the ball just crosses the net. At what distance, in meters, from the service line does the ball land?
If the same launcher is used to fire the ball at a 30˚ angle from ground level, how far (in meters) will it travel before it hits the ground?
