Kyle, a 80.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.386 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0384 meters away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling?

In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
A catapult is placed 100 feet from the castle wall, which is 35 feet high. The soldier wants the burning bale of hay to clear the top of the wall and land 50 feet inside a castle wall. If the initial velocity of the bale is 70 feet per second, then at what angle should the bale of hay be launched so that it travels 150 feet and pass over the castle wall. Use g=32ft/s^2.
A farm truck moves due east with a constant velocity of 9.50 m/s on a limitless, horizontal stretch of road. A boy riding on the back of the truck throws a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.54) and catches the projectile at the same location on the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. (a) In the frame of reference of the truck, at what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can? (b) What is the initial speed of the can relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the can’s trajectory as seen by the boy? An observer on the ground watches the boy throw the can and catch it. In this observer’s frame of reference, (d) describe the shape of the can’s path and (e) determine the initial velocity of the can.
A baseball, hit 5.5 feet above the ground, leaves the bat at an angle of 35°35° and is caught by an outfielder 5.5 feet above the ground and 67 feet from home plate. Neglecting air resistance, what was the initial speed of the ball?Your answer should be in feet per second, but do not enter the units in the answerbox.v0=
Sofia is playing a game with her friend, Kara, where she throwsM&M candies at Kara and Kara catches the M&M’s in hermouth. They begin standing 1.75 meters apart from eachother. Sofia throws the M&M at an angle of 60 degrees abovethe horizontal with a speed of 4.13 m/s. Kara’s mouth is145 cm above the ground when she catches the M&M. Whatheight above the ground did the M&M leave Sofia’s hand?Hint: Remember, even though the motion in the horizontaldirection is independent of the motion in the vertical direc-tion, they share the same time.
