In a friendly game of handball, you hit the ball essentially at ground level and send it toward the wall with a speed of 16 m/s at an angle of 37° above the horizontal. (a) What amount of time is required for the ball to reach the wall if it is 3.3 m away? (b) How high is the ball when it hits the wall?

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?

A football player punts the football so that it will have a “hang time” (time of flight) of 4.5 s and land 46 m away. If the ball leaves the player’s foot 150 cm above the ground, what must be the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball’s initial velocity?
A stone is thrown from the top of a building upward at an angle of 30 degrees with respect of the horizontal, and with an intial speed of 20m/s. If the height of the building is 45 meters, how long is the stone in flight, how far does it land, and what is the speed just before impact?
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the ball in the air for, in seconds?
A basketball player 2.05m tall takes a shot when he is 6.02m away from the basket. If the launch angle is 25 degrees and the ball was launched at the height of the player's head, how fast must he launch to reach the basket, which is 3.05m above the floor?
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second?
