In a relief operation mission involving a helicopter h distance above the ground traveling with a horizontal velocity vy. What should be the expression for the horizontal distance dy at which you release the relief package so that it will arrive to the survivors at the right place? (Neglect the effect of air resistance) Solution To determine this, we must first derive the time it takes for the relief package to reach the survivors. We use this equation h = Vinitialyt + (1/2)ay If we just drop the package from the helicopter, the equation above becomes + (1/2)ay Substituting ay = g then simplitying results to t= sgrt( which is the time it takes for the object to reach the ground. Since the package will just travel at a constant velocity in the x-axis, thus dx = Vxt Substituting the time taken by the package to reach to ground results to: dy ( ( sart ( which is the expression for the horizontal distance at which you should drop the package.

In Dover, Delaware, a post-Halloween traditionis “Punkin Chunkin,” in which contestants build cannons, catapults, trebuchets, and other devices to launch pumpkins and compete for the greatest distance. Though hard to believe, pumpkinshave been projected a distance of 4694 feet in this contest. What isthe minimum initial speed needed for such a shot?
A projectile is fired horizontally with speed v0 from the top of a cliff of height h. Itimmediately enters a fixed tube with length x, as shown in Figure. There is friction between the projectileand the tube, the effect of which is to make the projectile decelerate with constant acceleration ax. After theprojectile leaves the tube, it undergoes normal projectile motion down to the ground. Calculate the totalhorizontal distance, l, that the projectile travels. (g=9.8 m/s2) v0=5.5m/s ax=-2.5m/s2 x=4.5m h=12m
A Tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground at an angle 5º above the horizontal. The horizontal distance to the net is 7.0 m and the net is 1.0m high. What is the minimum initial speed, vi, needed to clear the net? (Hint: this is like the problem done in the handout, but since we don’t know the initial speed, we have to find horizontal and vertical components and the time symbolically and carry that through.) Im so confused and don't know where to start...
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speedof 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of3.00 km. (a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How fardoes the bomb travel horizontally between its release and itsimpact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitatesthe bombardier before he can call, “Bombs away!”Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane’s originalcourse, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Whereis the plane relative to the bomb’s point of impact when thebomb hits the ground? (c) The plane has a telescopic bombsightset so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight atthe moment of release. At what angle from the vertical wasthe bombsight set?
in order to meausure the acceleration due to gravity on the moon, an astronaut fires a projectile from a launcher. the initial velocity is 57 ft/s at 22.5 degrees and the projectiles range was measured to be 220 ft with equal launch and landing heights. what is the g (in terms of ft/s2) on the moon as calculated by this data?
One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Billy Wagner in 2003, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h (45.1 m/s). If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically, in meters, by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft. (18.4 m) away? *Must include BIG six list for both x and y directions*
An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)

Let the magnitude of v0 be the same as in part1, but consider the angle θ required to obtainthe maximum range.Find the height attained for the maximumrange.Answer in units of m.
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?
During the super downhill event, a skier enters a part in the course where they catch air. Theirinitial velocity is 26.8 m/s and it is at an angle of 10 degrees above the horizontal. If they land onthe ground with a velocity of 28.2 m/s, going towards the ground, at an angle of 20 degreesabove the horizontal how far did they fall vertically, from start to finish, and how long wherethey in the air?
A ball is thrown from the ground with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the maximum height reached by the ball and the horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground. Assume the acceleration due to gravity, g, is 9.8 m/s² and take the direction of upward motion as positive.
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?
