On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hits the ball with a speed of 16 m/s at an angle 55° above the horizontal.

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.
A water balloon is thrown horizontally with aspeed of 8.31 m/s from the roof of a building ofheight H=23.0 m. How far does the balloon travelhorizontally before striking the ground? (Use thevertical formula Av=v0v+1 2aw/2 to solve for timeand plug your components into the equation forthe horizontal direction Ar-vxt)
A player passes a basketball to another player who catches it atthe same level from which it was thrown. The initial speed of theball is 7.1 m>s, and it travels a distance of 4.6 m. What were (a) theinitial direction of the ball and (b) its time of flight?
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*
